In a small village of Matunga in the sixty Jairaj elderly son of four brother’s of Mrs. Sharda and Mr. Mohan Rao was born on the 5th January 1965, in Goregoan at Nanavathi hospital. He came from a family of poor mechanic. He lost his father, Mohan, at the age of nine.
At the age of eleven, Jairaj M Rao had the first, great dream which marked his entire life. A Man of majestic appearance told him: With meekness and charity you will conquer these
your friends; and a Lady just as majestic added: Make yourself humble, strong and robust. At the right time you will understand everything. Jairaj left his home at the age of ten he enter the boarding school name as DON BOSCO HIGH SCHOOL BORIVALI . To provide for his needs he learnt different trades: tailor, blacksmith, barman, and he even coached students after classes. At 20 years of age Bro. Jairaj M Rao took the most important decision of his life: he entered the Seminary. There followed six years of intense studies after which he intended to have school under the guidance of Fr. Elias Dias, Fr. Nelson Carvalho, Fr. Joaquim D’souza, Fr. Colin, Fr. Anaclete D’mello, Fr. Anthony Pinto, Bro’s and Sister’s. Bro. Jairaj M Rao on a war footing bases started DON BOSCO school in a vicinity area of Tagore nagar Vikhroli on 6th June 1986. He inculcate St. John Bosco’s System of Education founded on three values: Reason, Religion and Loving kindness. Very soon people saw in it an ideal system to educate the young. When somebody would tell Don Bosco the list of the works he performed, he would interrupt the person and immediately say: I have done nothing by myself. It is the Virgin Mary who has done everything. She had traced out his road in the famous dream he had when he was nine.
Love each other as brothers. Do good to all and evil to none... Tell my boys that I wait for them all in Paradise. DON BOSCO
Invest in your Children. Give them your time, your attention, your love. They are the Future. Bro. Jairaj M Rao
You're probably wondering what the "FDB" after my name means. What that title signifies is the Friends of Don Bosco. Now what exactly is a Friend of Don Bosco?As a student at Don Bosco High School (Borivali), people may see me connected to the Don Bosco family because I am a Don Bosco student, and while it is true that I am emerged into the family within that context, I have grown to know the wider Don Bosco community because of several Salesians and many Don Bosco Family Weekends. I have grown to know and love
St. John Bosco and his family.
Today it has become the learning center. Once upon time it was a barren land no trees were there, the place was in a ruined condition but today it has become the ever Green Land.

Thus the Principal Rev Bro Jairaj M Rao of Don Bosco Vikhroli is called the Green Hand Finger
