Don Bosco Institute, Guwahati
Greetings from Don Bosco Institute!
As the new Executive Director of the institute, I assumed office in July 2023 and I was delighted to witness the spirit of Don Bosco alive and active in our campus. I was impressed by the dedication, commitment and professionalism of our team, as well as the passion, curiosity and resilience of our students.
I am delighted to share with you some of the highlights of our achievements and initiatives in the past six months. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic in the past couple of years, we have continued to serve the youth and the society with zeal and commitment, following the values of a Catholic Mission and upholding the vision, values and ideals of Don Bosco.
One of our major accomplishments was hosting the 14th Tribal Youth Exchange Programme organised by Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS) in Collaboration with Don Bosco Institute. This programme aimed to promote national integration, cultural diversity and social harmony among the tribal youth from different states of India.
We are also proud of our humanitarian and educational efforts to provide free food, accommodation, rehabilitation and education to nearly 300 displaced Kuki students who were victims of communal violence in the state of Manipur. We have provided them with a safe and supportive environment to find solace, heal their wounds and rebuild their lives.
The biggest event and success of the previous year for our institute was organising the 3rd International Conference on Education for School Principals and Educational Administrators – 2023 (ICONSPA – 2023) from November 21 to 23, 2023.
These are just some of the examples of the vibrant and dynamic culture that we have at Don Bosco Institute, Guwahati. We are constantly striving to improve our quality and standards of service and to explore new opportunities and collaborations.
May God bless you and your families!
Sincerely,
Fr. Cletus Sebastian SDB
Executive Director, Don Bosco Institute, Guwahati
