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. Even the youngsters are joining in extremism activity as it is forest areas. So keeping all the worse situation in the mind Don Bosco Tech planned to open one centre in this locality. 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.
