A twelve-year-old boy stepped out of rural Vaikom, Kerala, in 1965, carrying dreams larger than the dusty lanes he left behind. That boy was Joseph Palackal, whose quiet determination reflected a generation that believed education could change destiny. His journey began at Don Bosco, Pachalam, Vaduthala, Kochi, as part of the 1965 batch of 62 boys bound by a fellowship that would endure for life.
The Don Bosco Research Centre (DBRC), Mumbai, marked a new milestone on August 13 with the inauguration of its revamped website, symbolizing a renewed commitment to research, advocacy, and service in the Salesian mission. The significant yet straightforward ceremony was presided over by Provincial Fr Savio Silveira, with Provincial Designate Fr Ashley Miranda, Vice Provincial Fr Robert Pen, Provincial Economer Fr Gregory D’Almeida, Provincial Councillors Frs Michael Bansode, Barnabe D’Souza, Blany Pinto, Flovi D’Souza, and Provincial Secretary Fr Vinod Mascarenhas in attendance.
