The Odiyana Project - A Tibetan Orphanage in India.
This podcast episode features an interview with Tulka and Dorjee about the Odiyana Project, a Tibetan orphanage, school, and clinic located in Arunachal Pradesh, India, in the foothills of the Himalayas. The project represents a beacon of hope, compassion, and healing in challenging times.
Key Project Details
Location & Background
- Location: Arunachal Pradesh, India (foothills of the Himalayas)
- Timeline: Initiated 4-5 years ago by Tulka
- Land: 3-acre site gifted by the local community

Educational Philosophy
- Primary Focus: Teaching compassion as the foundation for becoming good human beings
- Holistic Approach: Inside-out development (inner compassion + outer education)
- Inclusive: Accepts children regardless of religious background
- Future Vision: Equipping children to help others when they grow up
Community Integration
- Local Support: Enthusiastic participation from local population
- Government Backing: Local officials contribute to the project
- Infrastructure Support: Government funded retention wall for flood protection and road paving
- Volunteer Network: Business people and officials actively contribute
