The Dharamshala Earthville Institute (DEVI) is a small, charitable, non-governmental, community service project offering educational and service-learning programmes and promoting cross-cultural appreciation and personal empowerment. Located in the unique Himalayan town of Dharamshala in the state of Himachal Pradesh in northern India, DEVI is managed by Tibetan refugees with the assistance of volunteers from around the world.
Housed in KhanaNirvana Community Café, DEVI serves the Tibetan refugee community, the local Indian population, and international visitors who come to Dharamshala to learn and to serve. DEVI makes its programmes and facilities available to all who wish to make a meaningful connection with the faces and places around Dharamshala.
