The Department of Social Work at Don Bosco College organised Halla Bol, an inter-collegiate street play competition, on December 8, 2025. The event was held in connection with Human Rights Day, observed annually on 10 December.
A total of eight street play teams registered for the competition. Participating teams represented St. Joseph’s College of Commerce, St. Joseph’s University, Christ University Yeshwanthpur Campus, Rajagiri School of Social Sciences (Kerala), and Bangalore University.
