For quite some years, the Salesians felt the need to open a Youth Centre, which would be available to young people. There is a constant inflow of student population from neighbouring States. Fr. Mathai Kochuparampil, S.D.B, the Provincial of Guwahati province, formally announced the opening of Don Bosco Youth Centre on the occasion of the Provincial Chapter, held at Pastoral Centre, Tripura Castle Rd, Shillong on April 23rd -27th, 1983. Fr. Joseph Cilia, S.D.B was appointed Director of the same. The building chosen to house the Centre was a big hall (140X30ft) which was originally built about 40 years ago for various activities, and which, in recent years, served as Science Laboratory for St. Anthony's College, also a Salesian venture. In 1983, St. Anthony's College was shifted to the new premises, thus rendering the spacious hall vacant. The hall was partitioned into three rooms with a very small chapel attached. The centre began to function in August 1983 and was blessed by the new Provincial, Fr. John Kalapura, on 20.5.1984. Today DBYC is an ISO 9001:2015 Certified Institution and is offerring more than 30 Short Term Courses.
