Bosco Seva Kendra (BSK), Don Bosco Provincial House, Hyderabad, 24 April 2022

On the Pearl Anniversary (30th) of the Salesian Province of St Joseph, Hyderabad, Bosco Seva Kendra (BSK), the Planning and Development of the Province, released the BOLD (Better Opportunities for Learning and Development) report which is a study and evaluation of all our communities done from August 2021 to January 2022 and it is Strategic Planning for Six years (2022-2028).
It was released by Father Thathireddy Vijaya Bhaskar, sdb, and Father Medabalimi Balaswamy, sdb in the presence of Father Bellamkonda Sudhakar, sdb the executive director of BSK. Through BOLD, BSK evaluated five categories, namely, 1. Schools & Colleges, 2. Technical Schools, 3. Parishes, 4. Youth Services and 5. Young at Risk.
As a pilot programme, BSK began this study and evaluation process in similarity with a project done in 2002. The process took a longer period due to Covid 19. Provincial Council after having seen the processes and methods used in BOLD have decided a similar process to be done for all our communities except formation houses since they have already done it two years ago.
BOLD will become a handbook for the province leadership and for all communities since it is done in the participatory method. BSK has involved Salesians, Salesian family members, teachers & Instructors, Students, youth members, past pupils, and staff involved in various projects. The BOLD report presents the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT). Based on SWOT the communities have come out with a SIX-year plan with prioritization of needs and developmental activities to be taken up in the coming 6 years.
Mr. Louis Manohar, an expert in institutional analysis has been guiding and mentoring us in this process. He has prepared all questionnaires and directly visited the YaR main centres and PARA of the province and organized the BOLD process. The provincial council has formed 3 teams viz., 1. Father Aruldas, Father M. Sleeva and Mr Chandrasekar, 2. Father Sarath, Father Upendar and Mrs Rosalind 3. Father Sudhakar, Father Mattukoyya Mariadas and Mr Joel to complete this process for other communities.
Father Bellamkonda Sudhakar, sdb thanked the past and present leadership of the province Father Thathireddy Vijaya Bhaskar, sdb and Father Thomas Santiagu, sdb for their support and for being part of this study and evaluation process.
