Outreach
StateBOSCO's committed goal is to increase its 24-hour presence on the streets, train platforms, workplaces, hotels, workshops, and other high-risk areas by making friends with kids, escorting them to safety, and providing rescue when necessary.
Important BOSCO teams, including CHILDLINE, SJPU, Child Safety Net, and others, work in tandem with law enforcement and other government agencies to conduct rescue operations. For the state of Karnataka's Missing Child Bureau (MCB), BOSCO serves as the State Nodal Agency. To find missing and unaccompanied children and reunite them with their families, it collaborates with the Department of Women and Child Development, the police, and non-governmental organisations.

Education
StateIn order to prepare out-of-school youngsters for entry into regular education, BOSCO provides Bridge Education to young people who are at risk. In order to guarantee that every kid receives an education, we collaborate with Anganwadi centres, community and government schools, parents, and concerned community groups while operating in economically disadvantaged slum communities. In order to help school-age children in slum neighbourhoods stay in school and perform well in their studies, supplemental education programmes are implemented.
Milestones & Track Record
Received the National Child Welfare Award in 2015 from the Government of India for its service in child care and protection. Established multiple rehabilitation centers and street presence locations across Bangalore.
