Don Bosco wanted his missionaries to reach out to many young people by offering them skill based vocational education, hence giving them a brighter future.
Our Ministry to the young aims at building in them hope which emanates from our example of Christ and the Gospel values we witness to.
We prepare them for life with technical skills as well as with skills for a life of dignity. We consider the formation of faith, respect, love, justice, freedom, and peace to be of primary importance.
We offer excellent opportunity for practical and theoretical knowledge. We ably prepare students for adult life. Every student fulfils his/her academic potential. Teachers and students pursue excellence in teaching and learning.
