On 18 June 2022, Don Bosco Boarding, Chhotaudepur, organized Inter-house Tournaments titled for the hostel boys. The tournament was conducted by Fr Chris Ferreira and Cl. Sanket Chauhan, with the aim of encouraging the boys to gear up for the new academic year and help them get adjusted to the hostel environment.

Don Bosco, Chhotaudepur, houses 60 boys from Class VIII to XII. It is the first Salesian boarding in the Rathwa region, and is known for its excellence in academics and sports.

The boys played a variety of games which included carrom, table tennis, chess and football. The participatory response of the boys was amazing, and it boosted their enthusiasm to partake in various other activities in the year ahead. Pintu Karsan won the table tennis tournament, Angat Jagdish won the chess tournament, Mayur and Anil won the carrom. The ‘Anand Dalmet’ team of boarders were declared the winners of the tournament.

The house system in the boarding is the Salesian way of helping the boys to discipline themselves and become responsible individuals.
