TIBET DAY AT ST. XAVIER'S COLLEGE

St. Xavier's College, Mapusa, is celebrating the Ruby Jubilee of its 
existence this year.  To commemorate the event, the College has been 
organizing several academic and cultural activities right through the 
Jubilee year with special focus on minority groups, such as, Portuguese 
students, French students, with a Portuguese Day and French Day.

In recent years, our College has been admitting Tibetan students and we 
now have a sizable group.  So we, dedicate a day to Tibetan Culture and 
its people.  Tibet known as the 'Roof of the World', nestled in the 
mighty Himalayas is a land inhabited by a people who have developed a 
unique and rich culture and spiritual traditions, a distinct language 
and a large body of literature and exquisite works of art.

In order to provide awareness about Tibet, a "Tibet Day" will be 
organized in the College on 10th January, 2004, at 12 noon.  It will 
include an exhibition of Tibetan Artefacts, Books, Music, Costumes.  The 
Tibetan students will speak on Tibetan issues and will present a 
Cultural Programme including Tibetan music and dance.  Besides, there 
will be a food stall serving authentic Tibetan food. 

Members of the public, including Tibetans are invited to attend the 
programme and encourage our Tibetan students.
