Our early missionaries were both energetic and enterprising in utilizing the various means of communication, especially the printed word, to further the goals of the mission and to promote the sense of unity and solidarity among the communities and the people. Their contribution to the growth and development of various indigenous languages in the North East is particularly remarkable. Today Salesian provinces in India have a large number of qualified personnel to work in this field. We have also a formidable network of institutions and structures at the service of communication. There is a greater awareness too of the need for coordination and networking among the different sectors of our activities and with other organizations in order to strengthen our pastoral presence in the media, where our Founder wanted to be always in the vanguard. As communicators of the good news to the young, we have immense possibilities awaiting us for the full realization of our task as educators and pastors who are also communicators.
