The founder of all this World Wide Net-work of educational institutions is Don Bosco, born in a village of Northern Italy. By hard work and persevering efforts he became a Priest and decided to dedicate his life for the welfare of youth. His ideas in education were so far in advance of his times as to be a revolutionary. His methods were novel as they were daring. He followed what i widely known as PREVENTIVE SYSTEM of education based on REASON, RELIGION and KINDNESS.
He started with youth centres, passing on to evening classes for working boys whom he taught a trade and made them useful citizens.
“Work and Prayer” was Don Bosco’s motto! In a society that aims at progress and security there could not be a better motto! Enterprising youth rests secure in God.
