BOSS Annual Event: Marking 5 Years of Impact
A Milestone Celebration of Community, Mentorship, and Global Education
This year's BOSS (Bhanushali Overseas Support System) event was a special milestone edition, celebrating five years of the initiative's impact on the community. The program opened with the Odhavram Bapa Stuti and welcome addresses from SKBSST and trustee leadership, followed by updates on OEF's ongoing initiatives — including the Civil Services Cell, the BKC Airoli center, and the Protsahan Job Fair — alongside heartfelt thanks to the speakers, teams, and volunteers who have driven BOSS's growth over half a decade.
The event featured a comprehensive lineup covering every stage of the overseas education and career journey: from application strategies and university selection, to financing and scholarships, to country-specific opportunities in the UK. A keynote address, felicitation of the 2022 student batch, and an open Q&A rounded out a day designed to equip students and families with practical guidance and community support.
