BOSCO (Bangalore Oniyavara Seva Coota) is a non-profit charitable organization founded in 1980 by the Salesians of Don Bosco and officially registered in 1986 under the Society's Registration Act of 1960.[1]. The organization's acronym, BOSCO, stands for "Bangalore Oniyavara Seva Coota," which translates to "the association of those who serve youngsters on the streets of Bangalore[2]."
BOSCO's aim is to reach out to children and young individuals who are considered "at risk[3]." This includes children living or working on the streets, runaways, those in conflict with the law, orphans, children from dysfunctional families, out-of-school children, substance abusers, victims of trafficking, child marriage, child labor, neglected or abused children, unaccompanied children, and missing children[4]. As of now, BOSCO operates ten centers and has a presence at bus stands in Majestic[5](Bangalore), and adjacent railway stations[6][7].
History[edit]
In 1980, students from Kristu Jyoti College in Bangalore initiated a weekend project called 'Project Outreach' to provide safety, care, and friendship to street children. This evolved into a daily intervention offering services such as recreation, medical care, counseling, and outings[8].
BOSCO Yuvakendra, established in 1985, served as a drop-in center and a focal point for activities where children could interact with caring adults. It provided a space for street children to engage in various activities and receive support.
Centers[edit]
BOSCO operates several centers to address the diverse needs of the young people. These centers include BOSCO Yuvodaya, BOSCO Mane[9], BOSCO Yuvakendra, BOSCO Nilaya[10], BOSCO Life Skill Training Centre Sumanahalli, BOSCO Vikas, BOSCO Nivas, BOSCO Rainbow Home[11], Vatsalya Bhavan, and BOSCO Yuvaspandana. Each center focuses on specific services and support, such as education, skill training, and rehabilitation[12]
Projects[edit]
In addition to its centers, BOSCO runs various projects to deliver specific services to target groups. These projects include CHILDLINE 1098, BOSCO Railway CHILDLINE, BOSCO Foster Care Project[13], The Child Safety Net Project[14], and The Special Juvenile Police Unit.
Campaigns[edit]
BOSCO participates in and initiates campaigns throughout the year, like World Environment Day, World Day Against Child Labour[15], International Day of the Girl Child, Shaale Kade Nanna Nade[16], International Day of the Missing Child, and Human Rights Day.
