Based on available funds, about 25 outstanding nuns have been chosen from among many applicants to become the first cohort of students.

"On behalf of us, please pray thank you to all our sponsors.

Regarding our nuns in the Institute, they are studying in the 1st year. These days they are studying Catuhsataka (Four Hundred Verses) of Acharya Aryadeva along with Rendawa's commentary on it. They do debate in every evening and after dinner excluding holidays. They are striving as much as they can."
