Our Mission is to impart sound value based education by forming in the students habits of Piety, Virtue, Discipline and Self-reliance during the years of their studies, thus enabling them to be dutiful members of the Catholic Church and useful citizens of their motherland - India. in 1853 to train boys in some useful trades, Don Bosco turned his backyard into a makeshift workshop for shoemaking, carpentry, tailoring, smithy, book binding and printing. This was the first Catholic trade school in Italy. To give permanence to his work, in 1859 he founded a Religious society, after his favourite saint, Francis de Sales. Today they are known as the Salesians of Don Bosco (SDB).
