ESTABLISHMENT
In 1969, on the orders / advise of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama some disciples came to Mundgod, Karnataka from Baksa in Assam. Established this Vidyapeeth in 1970, as it was necessary to give the teachings of Lord Buddha to the future generations as per the teachings of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.
Vidyapeeth has been established with the aim of enlightening the present generation on the teachings of Lord Buddha, his life style, compassion concern for others and other streams of thought of Lord Buddha. Vidyapeeth established with the aim of imparting the knowledge of Lord Buddha to the young generation and to the society. At the initial stage of Vidyapeeth there were only 22 students who were taught to read, only Tibetan language.
Then in 1975, after completing Ph.D. from Varanasi, a group of Gurus arrived in this Vidyapeeth with the purpose of conducting systematic lessons, mainly discussion, essay on Tibetan grammar, history of Tibetans, society, English and mathematics. Later on, the complete details of the activities carried out in this Vidyapeeth were given to the Trijang Rinpoche, teacher of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and Zong Rinpoche another Respected Guru of Gaden Shartse monastery in Mundgod.
Later, as more lamas from Himalaya and Tibet started coming to Mundgod, classes like LKG, UKG and further from class 1st to 10th classes were started in this Vidyapeeth. For every 6 months we started to conduct midterm and yearly annual examinations. After 2007 computer education, English and Chinese language teachings were started.
