Don
Bosco Institute is a dream realised by the Salesians of
Don Bosco, Province of Guwahati. All dreams begin small,
and so it did the Don Bosco Institute. Twelve years ago,
when the Don Bosco Youth Mission and Educational Services
(DBYES) began its journey, all we had in mind was to empower
the youth of the region.

| I am happy to be associated with this project that takes the benefit of vocational education to all the students of the North Eastern states. |

Assam
and North eastern states have lagged behind in the race
for economic development. But there is no cause for despair.
I believe, if we exploit and develop the tremendous human
resources of Assam and North Eastern region, then, it
is surely possible, as never before in the human history,
to leap forward in the race for social and economic development.
And one small example of how this can be done is being
exhibited so brilliantly by the Don Bosco Institute.
We
need education. But it is also essential that we impart
to our children skills which make them productive citizens
of our society. It is here that the work that is done
by this Institute assumes great importance. This is one
of the projects to which I attach great importance, because
empowerment through the acquisition of knowledge is the
only way in which those who have lagged behind in the
race for social and economic development can catch up
with the rest of the country, with the rest of the world.
What you are doing shows us the way to move forward.
May your path be blessed.
Dr.
Manmohan Singh,
Prime Minister of India.
