Rev. Fr. Cletus Sebastian, SDB, Executive Director of Don Bosco Institute, was the Chief Guest at the graduation ceremony. Addressing the graduating youths, he congratulated them on their achievement and encouraged them to make good use of the skills they had acquired as they embarked on their professional journey.

“Our sub-centre at Amguri continues to give wings to the youths of this region,” Fr. Cletus said. Appreciating the dedicated work of the staff, he added, “Thanks to our staff over there who are doing marvellous work in providing skills to unemployed youths under the guidance of DBI.”

Fr. Cletus highlighted that the three-month vocational training programme at Amguri has achieved 100 per cent placement for the graduating students, making it a significant contribution towards empowering young people with employable skills and creating avenues for sustainable livelihoods.
