The Don Bosco community envisioned that quality professional education in computing as a realistic strategy to guarantee the employability of rural youth. A non-formal computer training and software development center (named as BICS InfoTech) was begun in 1998 to provide professional education. Sixty students were admitted per year for the one-year and three-year academic programs. BICS signed memorandum of understanding with CDAC-Pune and IGNOU to conduct diploma and degree programs. The institute functioned under three wings: Bosco Institute of Information Technology (BIIT), the Professional Education wing that prepared the students to become employable and obtain degree from IGNOU; Bosco InfoTech Services (BOSCO ITS) for software development and training for the graduates who passed out of BIIT; Arivagam (in 2006) as Knowledge Resource Centre.
