Patrick Corda
BORIVILI, AUGUST 30, 2010: A month has passed since the new project of MoRD BASE was initiated at Don Bosco Technical Centre, Borivili. This is a project for the marginalized, underprivileged, and the drop out youth falling under the Below Poverty category. This initiative was undertaken by Fr. Anaclete Dmello sdb, and under the guidance of Fr. Anthony Santarita, the Director of the Institute.

On July 15, 2010, the institute witnessed 101 youth who came from Jawhar Mukada, Nasik, Ahemadnagar, and Usnamabad with a dream and a will power to become someone in life. Every one had glow on their faces, a glow of reaching their goals. To achieve it, they had to leave their homes, their villages, and their loved ones.
An important part for this project was the mobilization of the youth which was handled brilliantly by Mr. Melvin Pangya and his team at Jawhar Mukada. This team not only interacted with the youth but also explained about the MoRD program to their parents and family members. A hundred and one aspirants went through an induction program. They were divided into three domains as per the results of their Aptitude tests.

This training program has 3 Domains: Welding, Automobile, and Hotel Management. The entire training program is for three months. During this time, every Aspirant would be trained in Communicative English, Basic Computer, Professional Life Skills, Personality Development, Theory and Practicals in their respective trades.

“Have you ever seen a Caterpillar turning into a beautiful Butterfly?” If not, then visit Don Bosco Technical Training Institute, Borivili. One immediately notices the transformation in every aspirant. They have gained a lot of confidence and skills. This is because of the tireless work of the Trainers and the Guidance of Fr. Anthony Santarita. We look forward to the day when all these aspirants will complete their three months training and secure a good job in their respective areas. We wish all these aspirants the best of luck.
