It's not clear to me which flag is being identified here - it could be the green
flag with a blue map of Tibet on the front of the podium, or the Tibetan flag
with the yellow stripe along the bottom, or the elaborate banner behind the
speaker.
Follow-up from previous message - a subsequent message shows only this flag, and
in different lighting it is green on a yellow field.

I think the said flag must be the yellow with green Greater Tibet map. The
flags
on the right wall and on the staff are just the usual Tibetan flags. And the
banner on the background is a thangka, a religious painting.
Concerning the green map, it shows the areas inhabitated by Tibetans, and which
are therefore claimed by the Tibetan administration in exile. This cultural
Tibet is bigger than both the actual Tibetan Autonomous Region and the former
Dalai lama-ruled Tibetan territory. Some small territories in the East may have
been lost to the Sichuan or Qinghai province, but for the most part these two
areas were identical.
The correct name is Tibetan Youth Congress.
