The head office of this weekly newsletter is based at Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh and its branch agencies are based in the most populated exile settlements Byllakuppe and Mundgod. (Its branch agency based in Kathmandu, Nepal has been compelled to close on 5th March 2009 after the regional reporter was detained by local police. He was released after paying the sum of Nepali Rupees six and half lakhs as bribe, but legally stopped us to continue our work there. Therefore, the branch agency based in Nepal is temporarily closed). The newsletter Bod-kyi-bang-chen is being printed and distributed simultaneously in Dharamsala, Mundgod and Byllakuppe.

We try our level best to translate any articles written by foreign learned and scholars on Tibetan issues, or any other important contemporary studies, articles written by Tibetans in other languages like English or Chinese. Khawa Karpo Tibet Culture Centre has published four books so far and whenever we find any book in other language which are important for Tibet and Tibetans, then we’ll surely work hard to translate and publish them. We have translated Wang Lixiong’s two important articles on Tibet and have kept in our paper, and it has received much appreciation and acknowledgement from our readers.
