The Chief Guest was welcomed by the NCC cadre and the Scouts contingent of the school alongside the MC members, and the Sisters from the neighbouring Auxilium, Ferrando and Holy Spirit convents.  After the ceremonial lighting of the lamp, the Governor addressed the gathering and formally declared the annexe inaugurated. The Governor in his address congratulated Father Sebastian Palatty, the Principal, Father Dinesh Narzary, the Vice Principal, and the entire management. He praised the educational efforts of Don Bosco schools all over India, especially in Tripura, and exhorted the management to continue the great educational service that is being carried out here in the capital city. Father John Zosiama Sdb, the Provincial Superior of the Don Bosco Province of Shillong, in his message, encouraged the school management to continue the great work of education for the young boys and girls, especially the needy ones.

Father Christopher Warlarpih, the Rector of Don Bosco School, conducted the blessing prayer. It was followed by an address by Father Sebastian Palatty, the Principal, during which he thanked all who were involved in this milestone venture in various capacities.

Those present to witness the landmark moment included students numbering about 450 dressed in their traditional dress and the staff members clad in their smart uniforms.

The amenities in the Annexe include classrooms with LED interactive boards, playrooms, a hall, a sick room, a separate room for the support staff, child-friendly restrooms, a lift covering all 4 floors, and a 50-capacity Computer Lab. Don Bosco School, established in 1997 with 252 students now has on its rolls 2380 boys and girls, from Nursery to Class XII (Science, Humanities and Commerce streams), and a 152-strong staff.
