Fr. Thomas Thottiyil, speaking on the occasion talked of the importance of Bosco Tech in empowering the youth.

Sr. Annie MMM cut the ribbon to signal the commencement of training of the fresh batch. She then advised the students to develop their full potential and energy. She challenged the students to accept failure into their lives and not be discouraged by them. ``It`s how we grow,`` she said. ``What matters is not that you failed, but that you recovered``. Sr. Annie expressed her great happiness seeing so many young boys and girls in Bosco Tech premises. She appreciated the Don Bosco staff and management for their commendable work for the youth.
Vennela and Vijaya Laxmi, two students of BPO, beautifully summarized the work of Bosco Tech in the form a song and critiqued the present education system wherein education is not available to the poor who can`t invest a huge amount of capital. But they expressed their joy and appreciation for the Don Bosco organization for providing free skill training for their brighter future.
