Dear Readers,

Do you want to do a good deed? Teach the young! Do you want to perform a holy act? Teach the young! Truly, now and for the future, among holy things, this is the holiest. – Don Bosco
The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our lives in harmony with all existence. – Rabindranath Tagore

Our Founder and Father Don Bosco says, “If young people are educated properly, we have moral order; if not, vice and disorder prevail.” Indeed, we need better education to have better thoughts, to be better human persons, to build a better society. I am very pleased to bring to your notice that Don Bosco College is one of those Colleges which provides ample opportunities along with a value based wholesome quality education to nurture the inner potentials of every student. Moreover discipline, which is a non-negotiable factor of a students’ life on our campus inculcates the value of time management and punctuality; ensure their attendance in the classes. Endeavour to be better human being while foraying in the competitive life, realizing every other one’s dream. Honesty and integrity should be their second names. And with this, they would definitely turn out to be the best citizens endowed with humanistic values after getting formally instructed from this institution and would open new horizons of development and harmony for our nation.
The most recent outbreak, the novel (COVID-19), has become so alarming that our country is now taking unprecedented steps and precautions to ensure the safety of their citizens and curb the rate of new infections. The issues of travel ban, prohibition of social gathering and quarantines significantly impact education at all levels. The most immediate remedy to salvage the situation will be the adoption of educational technology. We employ digital learning systems and more sophisticated measures to deliver education. Online learning, webinars and flipped classrooms are organized to offer quality education through a non-residential format, alongside their residential set-up. This will help ensure that students can continue their learning even in the face of difficult times like we experience today. Right now, we are on the process of digitalizing all the study materials for your easy learning on our website. Our online learning, professors offer the same emotional support and encouragement, including individual care for you.
Take care of yourself, keep learning and serve the humanity. I truly wish you all success in all your endeavours.
With regards,
Dr. K. Anand
