Dear Delegates and well wishers,
Greetings from the Don Bosco Provincial House Bangalore!!

The biggest gathering of Salesian Principals of schools, NECDBS (National Educational Conference of Don Bosco Schools) India is going to be held from 16th to 19th November 2022 at Don Bosco Senior Secondary School, Vaduthala, Kochi, Kerala, organized by the All India Don Bosco Educational Society (AIDBES) and hosted by the Province of Bangalore (INK). We wholeheartedly welcome all the Principals/Headmasters of all our schools, all the dignitaries to this much awaited national event and wish you all a very fruitful and enriching experience.

Salesians following Don Bosco, are educators of the young and therefore school education is one of the primary mission of Salesians. It is a well-known fact that only good and value-based education can empower and enlighten people and build up a civilized, progressive and vibrant society. We believe as St. Irenaeus said that “the glory of God is a human person fully alive”. Don Bosco added a new dimension to this when he said that “the heart of education is the education of the heart”. The Salesians continue the mission of education all over the world by providing quality education and give a unique model of education devised by Don Bosco known as “Don Bosco’s System of Education”. NECDBS Conference certainly will be an opportunity to understand the education scenario today, identify the challenges, address the needs of the present time and enhance the quality of our schools applying the Don Bosco system of education. I solicit the sincere cooperation of all Don Bosco Schools in India and pray for God’s blessings for the success of the Conference.

In Don Bosco,
Fr. Jose Koyickal sdb
Provincial
