GRL Monastic School, Bomdila,Arunachal Pradesh
The GRL Monastic School, Bomdila, Arunachal Pradesh was established with the government initiative and assistance after the Chinese Aggression of 1962. During the course of this aggression panic-stricken people and monks fled from this area to take shelter in Shilong and other areas. Due to the confidence building measures of the government normalcy was restored and people returned to their native places. Observing the influence of the Buddhist Monasteries on the people of this area the then Chief Commissioner of NEFA, Mr. K.A.A. Raja and the then Deputy Commission of the then Kameng District, Mr. T.Haralu took keen interest and initiative for establishing the Bomdila Monastery and the GRL Monastic School under the aegis of Buddhist Cultural Preservation Society for cultural integration of this tribal and border area with Indian mainstream.
