ABOUT

Overview

Bosco College of Teacher Education, Dimapur, Nagaland, is an educational institution of the Catholic Church, belonging to and managed by the Salesians of Don Bosco, Dimapur Province. The College is named after St. John Bosco (1815-1888), popularly known as Don Bosco, the Father and Friend of Youth. John Melchior Bosco (Don Bosco) was born into a family of a poor Italian farmer on 16th August, 1815, at Becchi, a hamlet near Turin, Italy. At the tender age of two he lost his father, and he had to undergo immense sufferings and challenges in his early life. His mother, Margaret, took on the task of bringing up her three children with tenderness and great courage. She taught them to till the soil and to see God’s presence in the beauty of the sky, in the abundant harvest and even in the storms which destroyed their vines. John saw in the dream a divine commission to work for poor and abandoned urchins and the youth. The long years that followed were directed by an amazing enthusiasm to make that dream come true, which was not without its share of challenges and incredible hardships.
