The old boys association of Don Bosco School, Liluah also called DON BOSCO ALUMNI LILUAH was formed in 1967 with the basic motto “KNOW, LOVE, HELP ONE ANOTHER AND KEEP UNITED”. Since the last fifty years the DBL Alumni has grown from a handful of members to more than 1000 members at present and have put their best to serve the society at large. The long history of the unit shows its selfless contribution to the society.

Some of our notable highlights in brief -
The Free Night School which is a boon to the under-privileged children today began as a small project in the year 1977 with the past pupils giving their finance and voluntary service. In the year 1979 this project was handed over to the Salesian Fathers for better functioning and it is still running in a smooth manner with about 600 students. It is a lasting monument of the Association of the Past Pupils, Liluah.
On 7th June 1991, The Past Pupils began a project to provide free basic and vocational education to deprived and underprivileged females between the age of 14 to 50 of the local area - The Adult Education Project. This is a two-year course wherein they are imparted basic education viz. English, Hindi, Mathematics and General Knowledge etc. We also try to educate them with our knowhow of moral values and practical knowledge viz. knitting, stitching, drawing, painting, and some general values. This project has been running since last 3 decades.
The Past Pupils began a Free Medical Unit on 31st January 2007 which is run every Sunday morning from 9.30 A.M. Around 115 patients are treated every week and provided with quality Medicines, Blood Test and ECG Free of cost. Till date the medical unit has treated around 30000 patients. These patients belonging to the weaker sections of the society are being examined by Doctors and are dispensed quality medicines free of cost.
