About Us
| DON BOSCO and his work |
| Educaion in Donbosco Institutions enables the young to find meaning in life…to seek guidance and strength from above…to foster a spirituality that can substain them through the inevitable ups and downs of life, according to each one’s belief and religious background.
The method of education followed by the Institute is the system taught by Don Bosco based on Reason, Religion and Loving Kindness. Every age sees the dawn of some charismatic person or other apt to redeem that age from the jaws of decadence. When the youth of Italy were swimming in the mire of immorality, God sent John Bosco, a poor peasant boy from Becchi to be a beacon of hope to the youth and lead them back to the feet of God. Right from his early days, John Bosco had to face untold difficulties and hardships. Having lost his father at the age of two and his family being of limited means, he was forced to learn many a trade to earn his livelihood and to follow up his studies to the priesthood. Thus, having experienced the hardships of poverty and work in his youth, he always had a great sympathy and love for poor and abandoned youth. As a priest, he dedicated his whole life to the service of youth. During his life-time, he established several technical schools and provided education and employment to numerous youth wandering about in the fast industrializing cities of Europe. Today, the Salesians of Don Bosco, inspired by the same spirit pursue the noble service of Don Bosco towards the youth all over the world. Our Objective The aim of DB IGACT (Don Bosco Institute of Graphic Arts CommunicationTechnology) is to provide the young especially from the poor and lower middle class families, sccio-economic, cultural and spiritual educationthrough a professional training. While seeking to meet the demands for qualified technicians in the printing industry of India by imparting to the students sound education in various branches of Graphics Arts, theoretically as well as practically, we strive to form the students into upright and convinced persons, capable of fulfiling their obligations towards self, God and the Society. We shall give special emphasis to discipline, virtue, knowledge and art, knowing that these alone can guarantee the development of harmonious personalities prepared to accept the rights and duties of life and citizenship. |
