 Located in Mandi District (H.P), it started in 1979 as a day school administered by TIRS and later supported by CTSA (Delhi). They have classes from K.G. to III. The various sponsors poured financial aid to establish classrooms, furnitures, and staff quarters. After the completion of the ten classrooms, this school was brought under the DoE(CTA) in 1980 and named as the CST Chauntra.

This school was inaugurated by H.H. The Dalai Lama on February 17, 1981. Initially it had grades up to Vth class but it was upgraded to VIIIth grade. In 1997 this school was attached with boarding facilities to accomodate children from Tuting areas. So far we have received four batches of children from there.
