Marking Transgender Day of Visibility, DBMedia Network Chennai has released the acclaimed documentary TRANSCENDER, which chronicles the inspiring journey of K. Prithika Yashini, India's first transgender police officer.

Speaking on behalf of all Chapter members, the Rector Major Fr. Fabio Attard, acknowledged the service rendered by the outgoing councillors. A long, heartfelt round of applause confirmed their appreciation and affection for their contributions.

The seventh week of the General Chapter begins in a spirit of discernment and intensity, marked by several key events. The work focuses on the presentation and voting of deliberations 18-27, the development of Core 1 and 2, and an important emphasis on some current issues. The week also includes moments of spirituality, cultural activities, and fraternal sharing.

Don Bosco Vazhikaatti Trichy, a pioneering institute in career guidance, training, and placements in the Province of Trichy, conducted a unique orientation program at Don Bosco Care Home, Nilavarapatti. The program focused specifically on supporting students in Child Care Institutions (CCIs) under the Aftercare Program.

Many young people, especially those from underprivileged backgrounds, lack access to quiet spaces, updated study materials, reliable internet, professional guidance and financial support to focus on their goals and enroll in expensive coaching centres. Hence, as a support to young people preparing for government jobs and entrance tests for higher education, Don Bosco Yuvakendra, Najafgarh, Delhi, and Don Bosco Youth and Educational Services (DBYES), Bariatu, Ranchi, in collaboration with Don Bosco Job Placement Network (DBJPN) have established dedicated study centres. More than 500 aspirants will benefit from these centers.

In a significant push toward gender equality and economic empowerment, Don Bosco Vazhikaatti organized a Job Fair dedicated to women's workforce inclusion in Chennai, Tamilnadu. The event provided over 2,500 women job seekers—including fresh graduates and professionals re-entering the workforce—access to employment opportunities, with more than 50 recruiters across diverse industries providing jobs for more than 1500 women. This initiative has contributed to a more inclusive and sustainable future by fostering equal opportunities and career readiness.
