Project Description & Progress:
Bir Nangchen Chauntra Settlement Office buildings were facing rainwater leakage, moisture damage, and excessive heat during summer. Simultaneously, frequent power cuts were hampering essential administrative work, use of computers, internet, and public services. To address these issues, the Settlement Office, Bir Nangchen Chauntra, proposed the two projects: installation of tin-shed roofing over the main office and staff quarter, and procurement of two inverters with batteries for the main office and staff quarter to the donor German aid to Tibetans (GAT).
We are deeply grateful to GAT for their generous support of total amount ₹769,962 (excluding administration charges) out of which ₹7, 23,764 utilized for Tin-Shed Roofing and ₹46,198 used for procuring Inverters and Batteries received through Department of Home, CTA.
The tin-shed roofing work commenced on 14th September 2026 and was completed on 5th November 2026 by Mr. Naresh Kumar of Thakur Construction. As per terms, 5% amount is retained as security deposit for six months. The installation of both inverters and batteries has been successfully completed and is now fully operational.
Outcome:
The tin-shed roofing has improved protection of buildings, prevented leakage, reduced summer heat, and provided covered space for drying clothes. The inverters have ensured uninterrupted office work and better public services even during power cuts. Both projects have improved working conditions for staff and efficiency of administration.
Bir Nangchen Chauntra Tibetan Settlement Office sincerely thanks German Aid to Tibetans (GAT) for their generous support. This support has directly benefited the settlement administration, staff members, and the wider Tibetan community. We assure that the facilities will be properly maintained.
