Sherig Parkhang
The Sherig Publishing House was established on May 23, 1961, in accordance with the wishes of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Its primary objectives were:
1. To recover and preserve the precious religious and cultural texts
2. To provide comprehensive textbooks from primary to twelfth grade for young Tibetan refugees, covering their language, culture, and historical heritage
