“Nurturing Talent and Inspiring Commitment, DBIM is Conceived as
the Epicenter for Integrated Youth Care, Educational Leadership,
Management Training, Socio-cultural Development and Research”.
 Director’s message
North-East India is filled with latent promises -
untapped and unexploited. But there is a hope
shimmering under the surface of these promises and
like the subtle music of the river waves, this hope
makes a beautiful rhythm audible to anyone who
simply longs to hear it. The latent potential of the
North-East needs all the resources to grow along with
love, guidance and a pat on the back. It is time that
these resources are exploited and the region competes
with the rest of the country, on equal terms. This is
where proper and effective management skills come
into the picture. There is need to identify these
potentials, develop them and put them into practice.
The talents that people have are seldom recognized. It
is truer in the case of the North-East. This is where
DBIM attempts to be an eye-opener.

DBIM helps students diagnose and discover themselves in terms of their personal values, strengths,
aspirations and creates a process for them, to build a broad life plan. Nothing great can be achieved except by
those who dare to believe that there is something in them, superior to circumstances. DBIM is an effort to
challenge the talented minds of North-East India to think differently and to act intelligently to bring about the
desired transformation.
Don Bosco Institute of Management offers high quality professional training aimed at inculcating knowledge,
concepts, techniques and values that will equip the prospective managers to deal with the growing
complexities of organizational management and also prepare them to shoulder higher responsibilities to
transform organizations.
I take great pride in introducing the budding managers of 2010-11, groomed at DBIM, shaped by its vision and
ideal of promoting true corporate citizens. We are confident that these young men and women would be an
asset to your organisation through their technical and managerial capabilities and their penchant for doing
new and innovative things. Our aim is to actively assist you in attracting and identifying the individuals, best
suited for your organisation and in developing a long fruitful relationship with you and your organisation.

DON BOSCO
Saint John Bosco, popularly known as Don Bosco (Italian for Father Bosco), was born in Becchi, Piedmont,
Italy, on August 16, 1815. From a very young age he knew that he had been called to work for the poor boys of
that era when Europe was under the grip of the industrial revolution, and many young people who came to the
cities in search of work fell an easy prey to the many social evils of the time. After being ordained a priest of the
Catholic Church in 1841, Don Bosco came to the rescue of these poor boys. He provided them education on the
basis of three great principles of Reason, Religion and loving kindness and he dedicated his life for them as a
caring father. He did not visualize education in isolation from the community. Vocational guidance and training,
job placement and follow–up were as integral to Don Bosco's scheme of things as they are in modern education.
The system of education that emerged from these principles of Don Bosco is popularly known as the Preventive
System of Education and is the system that is followed in Don Bosco Institute of Management. Don Bosco
believed in the system that aims at creating a generation of young men and women rooted not only in sound
knowledge-based education, but also in a strong value based education in life.
About Don Bosco Society
Don Bosco Society variously known as “The Salesians of Don Bosco”, “The Don Bosco Educational Society”,
etc., was founded by St. John Bosco. The society has over 16,000 members working in 132 countries. Through a
global network of educational and social service organizations which include 14 universities, 58 institutes of
higher education and thousands of schools and social development centers, it cares for the less privileged
sections of society. It currently caters to over 9 million young people the world over. Because of its outreach and
expertise in the field of education, the society enjoys a consultancy status at the United Nations.
In India, the Salesians of Don Bosco began their services way back in 1906. Its services are offered through the
Don Bosco University, 26 colleges, over 100 technical schools and a large network of high schools and scores of
non-formal technical and agricultural training centers spread across the country. The society is also involved in
literacy centers, shelters for the street children and rehabilitation and relief operation. The

STUDENT ACTIVITIES

PRAJJWAL
Being a part of Don Bosco Society there is always a propensity among us to do
something benignant for the society. It is in this context that we have formed
the forum “Prajwal” emphasizing on providing free tuition to the school
children. This initiative is entirely taken by the students of DBIM monitored by
our Assistant Professor Mr. Bikash Gogoi. The village of Joypur and areas in
its vicinity has a pre-dominance of low-lined income groups which are
deprived of exercising some of the basic needs and demands. After a weeklong
survey we witnessed that most of the school going children cannot opt for
proper private tuition with family income as the common barrier. The forum
“Prajwal” zero in catering to one of the basic needs of school children i.e.
providing free tuition. Every Sunday over 200 children from in and around the
campus assembles for their share of quality education.

This forum is a platform for the students to pen down their thoughts,
experiences and feelings which enhances their creativity. The students can
unveil their perceptions on issues relating to business, politics, literature and
anything happening in and around them. Our students can also exhibit their
creativity through Xpression Brush, which pertains to sketches and drawings,
and Photo Features, which brings out the way students look into things around
them through their lenses. Here, we can give the updates about the visiting
faculties and the learning gained out of those interactions which enables the
others to have an insight about those sessions in a nutshell. Any events or
activities taken up by the students or anything pertaining to Don Bosco
Institute of Management (DBIM) are also penned down and exhibited.
Ascenders The Ascenders club was founded on 17th August 2010 by Rosalind Pertin,
Hahau Hangzo, Baisakhi Choudhary and Karbom Doye. The main objective
was to enrich the students with the latest happenings of business, science,
technology, literature, economic, political scenario etc around the world. So
in order to enhance the knowledge skills, the club organized quiz
competitions monthly in the institute. Both the first year as well as the second
year students actively participated in the quiz competition. The members
also raised funds by knitting woolen rubber bands, mobile purses and hair
bands. The funds were utilized to buy prizes for the winners and the
audiences. This club also coordinated one of the in-house magazines called
DBIM insights. DBIM insight magazine highlighted the tradition and
cultures of the northeastern states of India. The club was founded by the first
batch, but its legacy will continue to several batches to come.

JourNEI 2010
The premier B-school meet of North-East India.
North east India is rich in cultural diversity and efficient human resource base, but there is a huge gap between
the potential and performance. With the purpose of bridging this gap and developing proper managerial
talents, October 2010 earmarked the beginning of JourNEI 2010. It was held in 8th and 9th October and
proved to be an interactive platform for some of the sharpest minds from both academic and corporate world.
Organised by Don Bosco Institute of Management in association with Oil India Limited, the locus of the event
was an esteemed B-paln meet. JourNEI 2010 was an effort towards initiating a quality and stimulating event
for the students from various business schools from the region and beyond.

 From an ancient city of knowledge to a localized market-city to Northeast India's
trade hub, Guwahati is the Gateway to an exotic and least explored region
SITUATED ON the southern bank of an expansive
river Brahmaputra, Guwahati is one of India's fastest
growing metropolises. Once known as
Pragjyotishpura or Light of the East, the capital of
Kamarupa, it is a city steeped in history. But the city in
its modern avatar is barely 100 years old. Guwahati
nee Gauhati is a combination of two words —'guwa'
meaning areca nut and 'haat' meaning market. Today,
the haat has grown to be the Northeast's chief
commercial center, vital for tea — the city boasts of
the world's largest CTC tea auction center — silk,
bamboo and cane and other local products.
Aptly dubbed the Gateway to the Northeast,
Guwahati is inhabited by over 12,00,000 people.
Ethnically, it is a microcosm of the region—the rest of
India too—with people from all communities
converging to pursue their dreams here. This has
spurred a real estate boom, the apartment blocks
incongruous with the city's natural surroundings
besides replacing the elegant cottage-like traditional
Assam Type houses.
The chaotic concrete growth, however, cannot take
away the fact that Guwahati has one of India's best
urban settings. There's the massive, turbulent
Brahmaputra flowing by; the concrete jungle is
pockmarked with at least five hill ranges, the Deepor
Beel wetland that's a prime habitat for
migratory birds and 13 reserve forests that sustain
200 mammals including leopard and elephant. In
certain localities, you may open a window and find
a big cat staring at you.
On the surface, Guwahati looks like any
metropolitan cities in India—neon-lit shopping
zones, specialty hospitals, mega outlets of all major
international brands, ATM counters at every nook
and corner, shopping malls, bars and numerous
high-end hotels and restaurants operating close to
midnight. But it has a laidback charm all its own, a
curious mix of the rural and urban, a true
representative of the cultural variety of an exotic
region. The city is also a center of higher
education—the Indian Institute of Technology
across the Brahmaputra is the best example—and a
healthcare destination for seven states as well as
Bhutan.
Last but not the least, Guwahati is the ideal
launchpad for exploring the virtually unexplored
Northeast. There are innumerable private and
government-run bus services connecting major
towns across the seven northeastern states and
northern Bengal, and you can hire or share taxis to
almost any destination in the region. The city has
the region's prime railhead and is well connected to
some outlying districts and state capitals by air.
CITY MUSTS
A. River bank stroll: The Uzanbazar ghat offers great
ambience for strolling right up to the Raj Bhavan. The
Brahmaputra looks fabulous from near the Raj
Bhavan road and you can also see some of the last
Assam type houses in the locality.
B. Silk route: A stretch of HB Road from Panbazar to
Kamarpatty is lined with traditional Assamese silk
outlets offering the indigenous muga (golden-hued),
pat and eri silk dress material. You can also pick up
some designer stuff these days.
C. Assamese jewellery: These traditional ornaments
have that different feel about them and are becoming
endangered. Try out Angana at Maniram Dewan
Road, Silpukhuri (2664762) and Assam Jewellers at
Bulbul Market, Fancy Bazar (2602578).
D. Emporia: The city has several emporia to pick up
fabulous cane/bamboo crafts and handloom products
from Assam as well as other Northeast Indian states.
The better known among them are
Pragjyotika at Ambari (2543439), Jagaran at Ambari
(2543772), Purbashree at Ambari (2607299) and
Priscilla Centre at Mission Compound, Panbazar
(2603698)
E. NEDFi Haat: Opposite Jagaran at Ambari, it is a
hub of activity showcasing rural products, handicraft
and local cuisine throughout the year. The expos are
often tribe, state or district-specific; drop in anytime,
and you'll have a great time with ethnic food and
tribal artifacts.
F. Study centers: If you are the research type, you
will enjoy going through the tomes at the District
Library at Ambari (2545344, 2543369) or the
Gauhati University Library at Jalukbari (2570529).
There's also the Women's Study Centre at Gauhati
University, the Tribal Research Centre at Beltola
Chariali and the Omeo Kumar Das Institute at
Chenikuthi (2524903). The best place to buy
informative books on Northeast India is Modern
Book Depot (2517059) on HB Road.
