The AIM OF INSTITUTE
The AIM OF THE INSTITUTE is to provide the young with a vocational training to prepare them to face life with a skill that will match the needs of the time. The courses are designed to give the greatest opportunity to those who have the least due to economic or social backwardness. Great emphasis is laid on the practical training in hard skills as well as life coping skills, so that they can be gainfully employed in the shortest period of time.
Towards achieving this aim THE METHODOLOGY of Don Bosco, "Father and Educator of youth" is adapted with the person of the trainee being made the centre of all activities. It is based on what he called "Reason, Religion and loving kindness" Every trainee is asked to assume responsibility for his own training, through discipline, hard work and regularity. To achieve this, healthy conviction, self confidence and respect for authority are encouraged, whereby rules become a means to growth. A fundamental conviction is inculcated wherein the trainee experiences the love of God in his life and shares this love with others in a cordial relationship irrespective of caste or creed. Dignity of labour, respect for persons, love for the country etc are so fundamental that Don Bosco summed up his work as to make "honest citizens and good persons".
