Don BoSCo – An Educator Saint

Don Bosco was born on August 16, 1815 at Becchi, near the Italian city of Turin. When he was two years old, his father died, and he had to brave poverty and hardship to study. With the help of his loving mother Margaret, he studied and became a priest. He devoted his life to the service of young people and came to be called the ‘Father and Friend of the Youth’. Don Bosco died on Jan-uary 31, 1888, and in 1934 he was declared a Saint of the Catholic Church.

In the wake of the Industrial Revolution, political unrest, moral and religious emptiness that swept across Europe, Don Bosco saw the city of Turin swarming with boys ped-dling odds and ends, chimney sweeps, newspaper ven-dors and errand boys. He saw them in the prisons, idle

and vermin-ridden. In the work places, boys were exploited. The boys were subject to cruel corporal punishments.

Don Bosco realised that thousands of these migrant youths needed education, care and guidance. He opened trade schools to train them. He sat on a bench and resoled a shoe in front of the boys. He started courses in printing, bookbinding, tailoring, carpentry and mechanics. He met the needs of the youths of his day. He provided them with schools, work and playgrounds, religious instruction, professional training and a trade. He pio-neered an educational system founded on the principles of reason, religious values and loving kindness.

St. Anthony’s College, Shillong At a GlanceSt. Anthony’s College was established in 1934 by the Don Bosco Society with the initia-tive of Rev. Fr. Joseph Bacchiarello SDB, a Salesian Missionary. The compelling demand for higher education for the local youths motivated the founder to start college edu-cation. Having obtained the permission to start, the College was inaugurated on 13th June, 1934 with English, History, Political Science and Bengali as the first Departments. Thus, St. Anthony’s College became the first university college of the Don Bosco Society worldwide.

Over the years, academic and infrastructural expansions had been made in order to cater to the needs of the young people. Together with the UG and PG academic expan-sion, career oriented add-on courses were started for enhancing the employability of



the students. UGC approved add-on courses and career oriented programmes affiliated / accredited to different institutions go on side by side with the Degree Courses. The importance of personality development and professional personal counselling led to the establishment, in 2006, of SILOAM the centre for Psycho-spiritual Experience and Leadership Training located at Umsawkhwan, Barapani.

The demand for IT Professionals has motivated the College to start related programmes like PGDCA, DOEACC ‘O’ Level, DCA, CCNA, OCA, RHTE, RHCE, SAP, Tally ERP 9 in the recent years.

St. Anthony’s College was accredited by NAAC with the rank of Five Stars on 20th Sep-tember, 2000. The College was awarded the status of College with Potential for Excel-lence by UGC on 7th April, 2006. The College was reaccredited with Grade ‘A’ (3.60 / 4 CGPA) on 29th January, 2009.

The College celebrated its Platinum Jubilee in 2009.
