Even though the North Indian province was erected in the year 2000, the admission of candidates continued from South India only. From 2008 onwards, the province started to recruit candidates from north India as well. The first batch of brothers from north India made their first profession in 2014. Then the province planned to extend their work to Jharkhand. Hence, we accepted the invitation of the Daltonganj Diocese Administrator, His Grace, Rev. Dr. Theodore Mascarenhas SFX. The bishop invited us to work with the diocese for a few years, while the diocese helped us find a new place to start our own institution. So we agreed to collaborate with the diocese in the apostolic activities of education and boarding at Satya Jyoti Niketan Middle School and Satya Jyoti Niketan Boy’s Hostel, Armu, in Garu parish in the year 2023. The Hindi-medium school was started in 1980. At present, the school’s strength is 702, and the hostel’s inmates are 214. Rev. Bro. Pius is taking care of the hostel, and Rev. Bro. Erenius is taking care of the school as a principal.
