Many girls are getting marry at the early due to lack of proper employment scope and youths are migrating to cities and urban areas for the seeking of jobs.

With the help of local partner RRDO (Regional Rural Development Organization) Don Bosco Tech opened one centre at Thakurmunda town. The centre came to start in the month of June 2016.
