The Dalai Lama Institute For Higher Education

You’ll find The Dalai Lama Institute For Higher Education out on Bidadi Sarasvathi Vidhyanikethana Road. It’s a bit of a drive from the main city centers, which makes it a very peaceful place to be. The road itself is usually quiet, though it can get a little busy when the schools nearby are starting or finishing for the day. We’ve got a good amount of space here, with buildings that are more functional than fancy. It’s a place meant for study and thinking, so we try to keep things calm. There are plenty of trees around, and you’ll often see students sitting under them with their books. We aren't trying to be some massive, high-tech university. Our focus is more on the books and the community we’ve built here on Sarasvathi Vidhyanikethana Road. The staff and the students all know each other, and it feels more like a big family than a formal institution. We spend our days in the classrooms or the library, and the evenings are for quiet reflection. It’s a simple life out here in Bidadi. We don't have a big marketing department or glossy brochures. Most people come to us because they heard about the institute from someone else. The buildings aren't brand new, and the paint is peeling in a few spots, but that doesn't really matter. It’s the atmosphere and the learning that count. We’re just a quiet spot on a long road, doing our best to provide a space for education.
