Don Bosco – Sagaya Annai Graphic Arts Institute had its start in the year 2008. It was started as an extension of SIGA, Chennai. Since there wasn't sufficient scope for growth in the parish sector, the regional superior, during the extra ordinary visitation, had proposed to have additional programme/service in the campus. Thus, it was decided to keep the first year SDC boys of SIGA to coach in communication skill, spoken English and other life-coping skills. In the second year they go back to SIGA itself. At the later stage the local students joined the institute directly instead of applying to SIGA. Thus, until 2013 the house has processed seven batches.
