The Salesian sisters, in Dakor, Gujarat, are presently working among the most needy youth and children of the society. It is the Charism of the Father and Friend of the Youth, Don Bosco. Right from the opening of our Religious community, strengthenning of weak educational existence and social issues have been the top most priority in the field of activities. It is an enterprising venture, a challenging step and a planned activity towards growth promotion. In the recent past we the sisters have made endless efforts to study our localities and develop capacities of the most needy and provide basic requirements to build a better neighbourhood.

At the very outset charitable Institutions and local leaders extended support to cater to the health needs of women and children called the MCH Programme. Simultaneously drop out rate was on the rise too. hence a large number of youth and children were forced to hard labour with a very minimum and delayed payed wages by the haves. Remedial classes, called Evening tuition centres were opened basically to help children to acquire learning habits and cultivate a sense of purpose to a dignified living. With the opening of the typing classes for dropout youth and gradually through certificate computer cources and other allied trainings that a need for self-employment and to make a decent living, was created. Love, compassion and kindness are the key component of every activity. set times to share religious practices among those who want to attain fuller life and life in abundance has become a regular feature. we read reflect , share Gospel truths and help them comit eachother to good deeds. Formation of Chidlren's Parliament help them to know and enjoy their Rights.Women have been organized to form Self Help Groups for economic scale up and reducing social issues and practices. Presently we have signed a Programme agreement of DBTech, India called Bosco Academy for Skills and Employment, a skill building for BPL Candidate from the age group 18to35. With the completion of this 3 month classroom study and practicals that 116 number of youth are placed in long and short distant companies, hospitals and factories.
