Between 2012 and 2018, BIDS experienced significant infrastructure development under the leadership of Rev. Fr. George Maliekal SDB. This initiative included the construction of additional facilities such as training halls, dormitories, kitchens, and washrooms for the Province Development Office. The project was supervised by Fr. James Thyrniang SDB and culminated in the laying of the foundation on March 28, 2019. The new building was officially inaugurated by Mr. Charles Pynrope, MLA, and blessed by Rev. Fr. Paul Olphindro Lyngkot SDB on August 12, 2020, in the presence of Fr. Glorious Syiemlieh, the Rector, Fr. Genesius Wanniang, Fr. James Thyrniang, and few Salesians from around Shillong. Funding for these additional facilities was provided by the Rector Major and his councillors through Salesianas Missiones in Madrid, Spain, along with support from the Province of Shillong.
In 2022, BIDS initiated the construction of its administrative wing under the leadership of Fr. Genesius Wanniang. Rev. Fr. Augustine Koottala SDB laid the foundation stone on September 10, 2022. This new wing was blessed and inaugurated by Rev. John Zosiama INS Provincial on May 21, 2024, in a ceremony attended by Fr. Genesius Wanniang, Fr. James Thyrniang, Fr. Cyril Tirkey, Bro. Anand Lakra, Fr. Shemphang, Fr. Komborsing Sun and staff, marking another significant step in the organization's journey.
Throughout its history, BIDS has been guided by a series of dedicated Executive Directors. Fr. Cyril Tirkey served from 2012 to 2018, followed by Fr. Genesius Wanniang from 2018 to 2024, and currently, Fr. James Thyrniang leads the organization.
The narrative of BIDS reflects its unwavering commitment to fostering sustainable development and empowering underprivileged communities, encapsulating a journey marked by resilience, collaboration, and a shared vision for a brighter future.
