Don Bosco Liluah

What Don Bosco Liluah does

Don Bosco Liluah, formally Don Bosco High and Technical School, Liluah, is a private Catholic minority, Anglo-Indian, English-medium school for boys established in 1937 and operated on a 7-acre campus on Abhay Guha Road in Liluah, Howrah, West Bengal, India. The institution is owned and administered by the Salesians of Don Bosco (Northern India) and follows the Preventive System of education articulated by St. John Bosco, centered on Reason, Religion, and Loving Kindness. The school is governed by a Rector, currently Fr. Sanjay Manohar Kujur (appointed 2024), who also serves as Principal, with 48 employees and a documented lineage of 23 rectors since 1937.

The school delivers a comprehensive academic portfolio spanning Pre-Primary (Nursery, LKG, UKG) through Class XII, affiliated to the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE, affiliation number WB077) for ICSE (Class X) and ISC (Class XI-XII) curricula, with Science and Commerce streams at the senior secondary level. Beyond core academics, the institution runs a Technical Section offering City & Guilds of London Institute Part I (Mechanical Engineering Technician's Course), ITI trades (Machinist, Turner, Fitter) under NCVT recognition, a 3-year Don Bosco Technical School Diploma, and Certificate of Vocational Education, alongside NIOS-accredited (AI 220038) secondary and senior secondary programs. The technology stack includes smart classrooms, dedicated senior and junior computer labs, an online fee payment portal via QFix App and the Eduqfix platform, and an AI curriculum introduced at the primary level.

The business model is tuition-driven, with monthly subscription-based fees covering 12 calendar months, plus one-time administrative fees (e.g., Transfer Certificate issuance at Rs. 100) and transaction-fee revenue from school uniform and stationery sales. Annual fee increases of up to 10% are standard. Distribution is entirely on-campus, with admissions managed through defined intake windows (August for Pre-Primary, January for Classes 1-8 chance vacancies, post-ICSE for Class XI), and Class XI restricted to ICSE board candidates with a minimum of 95% marks in 5 subjects. Beyond paying enrollment, the school runs free community programs (Night School, Adult Education for 21 years serving 500+ beneficiaries, and an alumni-run Free Medical Unit) that do not generate revenue but reinforce the Salesian mission and brand. The customer base is concentrated in Eastern India, primarily West Bengal, and the school is part of the global Salesian network that operates 2,400 institutions across 125 countries.
