Monks can expect pensions, medical insurance and living allowances.
The announcement came at a gathering of the Tibetan branch of the Chinese Communist Party.
It follows a series of incidents in which monks and nuns have set fire to themselves, revealing continuing discontent in Tibetan areas.
The announcement was made by Chen Quanguo, recently appointed Communist Party chief in Tibet, making him the region’s top official.
“The government will take great pains to ensure that public services such as electricity, water, telecommunications, radio and TV stations are provided to the local monasteries,” he is quoted as saying by the Global Times newspaper.
Maintaining stability appears to be the motive behind the plan, which could help nearly 50,000 people, says the Global Times.
It will also ensure there is more information – books, magazines and TV programmes – published in the Tibetan language.
The Chinese central government has for a number of years attempted to secure its authority in Tibetan areas by improving living standards for the people who live there.
That task has become more urgent over recent months, following a spate of self-immolations by Tibetan monks and nuns, which have taken place in Tibetan areas of western Sichuan province.
At least 11 have set themselves alight since March, according to the London-based campaign group Free Tibet. Six are thought to have died.
Tibet’s communist chief Chen Quanguo again took aim at the spiritual head of Tibetan Buddhism at the party congress on the weekend.
“His plot of Tibet independence and separatism has never changed,” he is reported to have said.
China also announced at the weekend that “one or two special agents” will be sent by the local government even to temples with less than 20 monks, according to the Global Times.
