26 July 2024

(ANS – Bangalore) – In an effort to highlight the catalysts of positive change makers of India, NDTV in its season 4 has come out with an episode that makes Don Bosco Technical Educative community feel proud. In the video, NDTV highlights DB Tech as a ‘Change Maker’ in addressing the significant gap in vocational training in India.

In India, the demand for skilled professionals is rising fast, but only 2.3% of the workforce has formal vocational training, leading to higher unemployment. Organisations like the Don Bosco Tech Society are crucial in addressing this gap. Rooted in underserved communities, they tackle unemployment and skill shortages through innovative training and mentorship, positively impacting lives and shaping futures. Their efforts are seen as transformative, positively impacting lives and shaping better futures for individuals in these communities.

“Join Don Bosco Tech in spreading the word—amplify Skilling India mission and bring hope to even more deserving youth” said The Director of Don Bosco Skill Mission DBSM, Bangalore Father Eugene Florence. “Together, let’s ignite change and make a real difference”, he said, inviting well-wishers to connect with Don Bosco Tech Society.

A few months prior to NDTV coverage on DBTech India, Rev. Fr. Biju Michael SDB, Regional Councilor of South Asia - Salesians of Don Bosco, extended a heartfelt appeal to all generous hearts to make a difference by supporting Don Bosco Tech’s mission to empower and uplift underprivileged youth through skill development. In his compelling message, Fr. Biju shared personal insights into the transformative impact that Don Bosco Tech has had on countless young lives. With a commitment to creating skilled and employable youth, he highlighted the profound change that each contribution can bring about.
