About The Founder

BOSCO

Bangalore Oniyavara Seva Coota (BOSCO) is a voluntary organization working with street and working children in Bangalore city for the last thirty years, we derive our inspiration from BOSCO the priest Don Bosco of Turin (1815 - 1888), an educationalist who worked tirelessly for the betterment of destitute and needy youth who lived on the streets during his lifetime. How it started In 1980, some Salesian students of Kristu Jyoti College, Bangalore felt a strong inclination to reach out to the neglected children and youth on the streets of Bangalore. 5 yrs later, in July 1985, the Bangalore Salesian Society bought a small two-storey building at Magadi Road, 2 kms from the City Bus Stand and Railway station to serve as a night shelter and doubled up as a training unit. Fr. George Kollashany SDB patronised the project for the first 9 years. In 1986, BOSCO was registered as Society. Show More
