This complex was set up by Tibetan refugees in Darjeeling on October 2, 1959, after they followed Dalai Lama and escaped from Tibet. The refugees adopted the principle of self-help so that they could become self-independent and completely rehabilitate themselves in a foreign country, which they did gracefully. They received the site "Hill Side" measuring some 4 acres from the state government to build the centre. It's located on a hilltop that can be approached from Lebong Cart Road by car.
