DB Tech Mumbai - ALIVE ALERT ACTIVE!!!
The month of November saw Don Bosco Tech Mumbai organize two important events in the city. DB Tech Mumbai witnessed a new revolution “Boscoyuva.com,” which was driven by the alumni of the Bosco PLUS Programme. Boscoyuva.com focuses on brightening the lives of the youth in the communities who are under privileged and deprived of their basic needs. DB Tech Mumbai organized a workshop for the past pupils of the Bosco Plus programme, which marked the awakening of youth, who really wanted to grow and prosper in their lives and make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate.
The function was presided by “Youth Venture,” a group of youth who have set out to help young social entrepreneurs. Youth Venture inspires and invests in teams of young people to design and launch their own lasting social ventures, enabling them to have this transformative experience of leading positive social change. Don Bosco, along with its students, has promised that together we can make a difference to the living world if we come together. Few youngsters have started making difference while some are still waiting. It is clear that any young person who has an idea for improving his or her community, leads a team, launches a venture and contributes something lasting will emerge transformed from such an experience. Today everyone needs to wake up from the sleep of dependence and work towards getting independent in real terms.
The second one being a ‘ Cleanliness Campaign’ at Prakash Nagar, Mahim and the other an ‘Issue based Meeting’ at Kane Nagar, Antop Hill. Ten students from Tilak Maharashtra University in collaboration with DBDS organized a Cleanliness Campaign at Prakash Nagar, Mahim where DBDS has its centre for community classes. Before the idea of the Cleanliness Campaign evolved the students of the community participated in a drawing competition based on cleanliness organized by the students from Tilak Maharashtra University and DBDS. The women who attend community classes also showed interest by participating in a group discussion based on Garbage Management.
The competitions and discussions led to a Cleanliness Campaign on November 18, 2009. Mr. Dalvi Beat officer from Mahim police station helped in the awareness of the campaign. The Guest of Honour for the occasion was Mr. Subhash Patil, Senior Officer of the Garbage Management Department at the BMC.
