  Faculty of Social Science
(Adhunika Vidya)
 


The Faculty of Social Science is not a traditional one, but under the modern university system some optional subjects have been introduced to the syllabi. Therefore, an independent faculty has been established. Five subjects are taught in this Faculty, namely:

    1. Asian History
    2. Economics
    3. Political Science
    4. Tibetan History
    5. Pali.

Though Pali is a language and should have been under the faculty of Sabdavidya, for technical reasons it has been placed under Social Science.

  Faculty of Tibetan Medicine and Astrology (Cikitsavidya)
 


Tibetan ayurveda is a unique combination of Indian, Chinese, Iranian, Mongolian, and indigenous medical disciplines. As this Institute aims to restore lost Indian treasures and preserve Tibetan culture, it was deemed necessary to introduce this discipline in the curricula of the Institute. The department for Tibetan Medicine under this faculty was established in 1993. In the same way, Tibetan Jyotisa (astrology) also preserves the South Indian and Central Asian astronomical disciplines.
