History
|
Although Salesian work for the youth of Bellary Diocese had begun in 1982, the Salesian presence in Hospet started only in 1987 and the Vocational Educational Programme in 1989. Almost simultaneously the Centre for Social Action began as a way of involving ourselves in the welfare of the people of the neighbourhood. This led first to activities on behalf of the colony of patients of Hansen’s disease and in 1992-94 the initiation of the Youth Centre. In 1994 the Don Bosco Child Labour Mission was launched. Don Bosco, Hospet served also as a co-ordination centre for several activities, prominent among them being a Government-initiated research survey on the problem of child labour, a two-year action research involving 14 NGOs in 3 of the South Indian States, executed as part of an international effort, and the research, “Qualifying the Unqualified”. 1996 saw the launching of the Kannada Open School, and in 1998 the Vocational Training Programme accredited by the National Open School (NOS), called Don Bosco Professional Academy. All these educational programmes and research projects were meant exclusively for the uplift and qualification of illiterate people and school dropouts. The Centre collaborates with the Government and other like-minded groups and individuals to make people agents of their own development and social transformation
