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.

Director’s messageDBIM 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.

N & MISSION DON BOSCOSaint 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 Government of India has recognized the Salesians of Don Bosco as the largest non-

governmental provider of technical education in the country.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES

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.

PRAJJWAL

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.

Ascenders

The premier B-school meet of North-East India.

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 g rowing me t ropo l i se s . 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.

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.
