They choose a specific number of government schools and volunteer to teach there for a period of two years. They raise the standard and work culture of the local school and motivate students to excel in studies as well as in undertaking innovative projects at the school level. At the end of the school session, they bring together such highly motivated students and are given an opportunity to exhibit their talents and projects. Such a camp has been hosted on-site for the past five years, owing to its green spaces and facilities. The students are also briefed about the importance of technical education and given an orientation to take up technical studies. Bro. Philip, the Director of the Don Bosco Institute, accompanied by Deepak Neupane, a trainer, gave them a guided tour through the classrooms and labs including a recent Schneider Electrical Company-sponsored “Schneider Centre for Excellence in Power Domain”.
One of the animators of the Group, Suman Prakhash Chowdhury, stated it was a wonderful experience to be in the Don Bosco Campus. "It is a confidence-building exercise,” said Miss Nishta Neupane when asked about the relevance of the camp. Another of the trainers, Puja Adhikary, aged 24, mentioned that the live-in experience gave them an opportunity to learn about more cooperation and team building.
Don Bosco Institute is spearheading the training of students in various skills and soft skills. Another 50-day program for the government school students who finished their Class X exams in various skills is all set to start on 23 April.
