Bivan Rodrigues Mukhim, SDB, Vice Provincial of the Salesian Province of Guwahati, who set the tone for the festival with a deeply inspiring message. In his address, Fr. Bivan highlighted that the Faith Fest is a meaningful component of DBI\u2019s 25 years of service to the youth and society.<\/p>\n<p>He reminded the participants that the journey of faith begins with discovering one\u2019s true self and recognising the guiding presence of God. <em>\u201cYoung people should discover themselves and know that God is the one controlling their lives,\u201d<\/em> he emphasized. He added that the primary aim of the Faith Fest is to help young people <em>\u201cdevelop their faith and grow in the love of God.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Drawing inspiration from Don Bosco, he reiterated the timeless Salesian ideal: <em>\u201cDon Bosco wanted every young person to be good Christians and honest citizens.\u201d<\/em> Fr. Bivan stressed that a holy and value-driven young person can greatly contribute to the wellbeing of society and that today\u2019s youth must strive to be of service both to the Church and to the world. He concluded by wishing the participants a fruitful and grace-filled experience during the Faith Fest.<\/p>\n<p>Rev. Fr. John Rabha, SDB, Associate Director of DBI, warmly welcomed the gathering and expressed joy at seeing the enthusiastic participation of young people from different communities and cultures.<\/p>\n<p>The entire programme has been meticulously planned under the leadership of Rev.
