Initially, the facility provided emergency relief to Tibetan refugees who had made the perilous journey across the Himalayas into India. For Tibetans, the Hill-side held special significance because the Thirteenth Dalai Lama had spent his exile in India from 1910 to 1912, following the Chinese invasion of Tibet at the time.

The centre began with just four employees and now houses 130 Tibetan families.The centre has been involved in a variety of activities, including handicrafts, artisan training, and craftsmen.
