MCLEOD GANJ, India, A seventeen-year-old lass from Zurich, Tenzin Yangkyi, was crowned Miss Tibet 2011 in a modest late-night finale show in McLeod Ganj. She received a cash prize of rupees 100,000.00 (2,200 USD approx) with the title.
In the final interview round, when a judge asked her how she will contribute to the cause of Tibet if she wins the title of Miss Tibet, she said: "Tibetan women are educated, beautiful, but they need role models, who need to ensure their effective participation towards Tibet's cause. Miss Tibet can be the role model to spread mass awareness."

TYC’s statement has brought to the fore, the simmering angst of a large section of the society which has been highly critical of the 14th Tibetan Parliament-in-exile’s decision to change the name of the Tibetan Government-in-exile to Organisation of the Tibetan People. The move by the Parliament in its three-day special session last month had overturned the unanimous decision of the Second Tibetan National General Meeting to retain the earlier name.
