Catering Program – Nourishment for Learning

11 Nov, 2025

The Catering Program at Don Bosco Polytechnic College is a nutritional support initiative designed to ensure that no student’s education is interrupted by hunger. Launched on July 1, 2025, the program supports 30 marginalized trainees — including 4 girl trainees and 26 boys — from scheduled communities, most backward classes, and orphaned or refugee backgrounds.

Every college working day, trainees receive a nutritious lunch prepared and served through the Don Bosco Canteen. Additionally, a weekly food allowance of ₹50 is provided to help them meet their daily nutritional needs.

This initiative not only nourishes the body but also strengthens attendance, focus, and overall well-being — allowing students to participate more actively in academics and skill training.

Highlights

  • Provides daily nutritious meals for 30 underprivileged trainees.

  • Improves attendance, concentration, and learning outcomes.

  • Builds dignity and emotional security among economically challenged youth.

  • Strengthens the college’s mission of holistic care and inclusion.

The Catering Program stands as a testament to Don Bosco’s commitment to educating the whole person — body, mind, and spirit by ensuring that every learner has the strength to learn, grow, and succeed.
