Director's Message
Overall View
I am proud and happy to present the services rendered by Don Bosco job placement network for the year 2021 – 2022. It is a new initiative in our region in the field of training and placements. “Youth with jobs gain respect and dignity along with it comes the freedom and authority to make decisions and give voice to their individuality” says Pope Francis. We’re happy that through this network we have assisted youth in securing their identity and individuality in the society more than just income and livelihood. We thank all the partners who have supported this cause. We’ll continue to assist young people for a better livelihood through our services. - Fr Jayaprakash SDB
