The Indian government has settled the Tibetan refugees in various places all over India. Some of these settlements are in Karnataka state in the surroundings of the district town of Mysore. An SOS Children's Village was built between the two largest settlements, at the small town of Bylakuppe about 85 km from Mysore. The SOS Children's Village has its own farm, where mainly corn is grown.
The SOS Children's Village Bylakuppe consists of 29 family houses, each of which has its own vegetable garden. There is also a community house, an administration building and a building with rooms for the staff. In 1982, an SOS Primary School was built. In 1990, the SOS Secondary School was inaugurated. The younger children attend the village Kindergarten while the older girls and boys live at the respective SOS Youth Houses. There is an SOS Medical Centre, where people from the neighbourhood are treated as well. In the surrounding Tibetan settlements, several day care centres have been established where children up to the age of five are taken care of while their parents work in the fields.
