Milestones & Track Record

The story of Don Bosco Navajeevan Bala Bhavan, Secunderabad, began very early after the second provincial chapter of the St. Joseph’s province of Hyderabad in 1996, brought forth deliberations to launch new ventures for the welfare of street children in the cities Hyderabad and Vishakapatnam. This good aspiration of the Salesians was further strengthened by the excellent work being done for street children in Vijayawada by the Salesians of Don Bosco.

Thus began Don Bosco Navajeevan Bala Bhavan, a "project for children and youth at risk".
It was a very uphill task to find suitable premises to establish Don Bosco Navajeevan, Secunderabad.
After months of searching, a three storied building was rented and by June 15th, 1999 the boys moved into their new home and work began in a more systematic manner. We still thought to have our own infrastructure instead of being in a rented building. This would be our contact centre and the round the clock shelter for street and working
children.

In the year 2001 May, Fr. Gopu Anand was appointed as the Director of the centre under whose guidance the Navajeevan has developed into five active centres. In the year 2007 May, Fr. Salibindla Balashowry was appointed as the Director initiated many activities and spread the services of DBNJ to slums and neighborhood. Fr. Bellamkonda Sudhakar was Director from June, 2013 to May, 2018. The present Director is Fr. Thomas (Remalla Narasimha rao ). Presently, we have 4 centres in Hyderabad towards welfare of Children and youth at risk.
