About Don Bosco College

Don Bosco College is a private aided college in West Garo Hills, Meghalaya, established in 1987. Campusbells lists it under General. Approvals and accreditation: NAAC B, UGC.

The college was established by the Salesians of Don Bosco in 1987 to serve the cause of higher education for the people of Garo Hills in particular and North East India in general.

It was in the month of March 1987 that a few lecturers joined Don Bosco College under the able guidance Fr. V. A. Cyriac SDB, the Founder-Principal. The students then numbered 88 boys, pursuing Pre-University Arts and Bachelor of Arts courses. The college at that time had neither a campus nor a building of its own to boast of. The classes began in the Sacred Heart Parish Hostel premises, thanks to the generosity of Rt. Rev. Dr. George Mamalassery, Bishop of Tura. The college was officially inaugurated by Late Shri P. A. Sangma, the then Union Minister for Labour, on 22.05.1987, and this date is observed as the College Foundation Day.

In 1988 Don Bosco College was converted into a co-ed institution. The Science Stream was introduced at the Higher Secondary level in 1988 and at the Bachelor’s level in 1992.
