A heartfelt farewell programme was beautifully organized at Don Bosco Nivas to honour the dedicated service and remarkable journey of four esteemed Fathers – Fr. Jiji Kalavanal (Rector), Fr. Thomas Meckaden (Director), Fr. K.T. Varghese (Administrator), and Fr. Jitto (Assistant Director of BREADS) – as they prepare to begin a new chapter of service in different institutions.

The programme, held at Nivas, witnessed an atmosphere filled with gratitude, emotions, appreciation, and celebration as staff members, students, and well-wishers gathered together to express their heartfelt respect and admiration for the Fathers who have significantly contributed to the growth and welfare of the institution and its community.

The event commenced with warm felicitations delivered by Mr. Akhil Devasia, Project Coordinator, who appreciated the Fathers for their inspiring leadership, guidance, commitment, and invaluable service rendered during their tenure.
