Hospet, 22 January 2025 – Don Bosco Tech Hospet proudly celebrated a landmark moment: ten years of shaping futures through vocational training and holistic education for underprivileged youth. What made the day even more meaningful was the joint commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (Save the Girl Child, Educate the Girl Child) campaign, organized in collaboration with the Department of Women and Child Development, Vijayanagara.

The celebration brought together a vibrant gathering of trainers, students, government representatives, and well-wishers of the institute. Esteemed guests included Fr. Arun, Principal of Don Bosco Tech Hospet, alongside senior mentors, alumni, and leaders from the Department of Women and Child Development, underscoring the significance of the dual milestone.

A Call for Awareness and Change

The Department of Women and Child Development marked the occasion with a thought-provoking awareness program on the importance of educating girls and breaking free from discriminatory mindsets that still linger in society. The session challenged students and community members alike to see girl child education not just as a right, but as a transformative force for entire families and communities.

Voices from a Decade of Service

Adding depth to the event were heartfelt reflections by Mr. Anthony Mestri, Mr. Sebastian, and Ms. Lakshmi, who have been closely associated with DB Tech Hospet since its inception. Their stories traced the institute’s decade-long journey—through trials, breakthroughs, and moments of triumph—offering inspiration and perspective to the younger generation. Their narratives illustrated how Don Bosco’s mission of “empowering the young for a brighter tomorrow” has translated into real-world impact.

Leadership with Vision

In his keynote address, Fr. Arun emphasized that Don Bosco Tech is not just a skills training center, but a catalyst for empowerment and dignity. He highlighted how vocational education equips youth with employable skills while instilling confidence, discipline, and self-reliance—qualities that help them rise above economic and social barriers.

More Than a Celebration

The dual celebration was more than a milestone; it was a reaffirmation of Don Bosco Tech Hospet’s vision for inclusive development. It served as a reminder that investing in youth and girls’ education is one of the most powerful ways to build resilient communities.

As the gathering concluded, a sense of renewed commitment filled the air. The event did not just honor the past decade of DB Tech Hospet’s achievements, but also cast a hopeful vision for the years to come—where every young person, regardless of background or gender, has the opportunity to learn, grow, and lead.
