An edited version of the doctoral thesis on Charles de Foucauld by Fr (Dr) Nirmol Gomes sdb, was released on 31 July 2008 by Fr Jose Pampadiyil sdb, the Vice Provincial of the Province of Kolkata, in the presence of Dr Mrs. Nupur Das, Secretary, Undergraduate Council University of North Bengal and College Principals of Darjeeling-Kurseong and other invited dignitaries, staff and students. The book release took place at the inaugural session of the Three Day Seminar held at Salesian College, Sonada.

The book is based on his study of Charles de Foucauld whose life on a casual reading at the suggestion of a priest, enamored Fr. Nirmol Gomes so much as to inspire him to do a doctoral thesis to make known this great French Soldier-explorer who became also a monk and is currently hailed as a ``Blessed`` by the Catholic Church. The book based on the research project entitled ``Psycho-pedagogical study of Charles de Foucauld`s Vocational Journey` is titled as Tracing the Steps. It is aimed at religiously minded persons in search of clarity for their own vocation, and/or for the average person having an appreciation for the `inner life`.

The author of the book, Fr Dr Nirmol Gomes sdb, was the Rector at Salesian College from 2000 to 2007 and earlier worked in the college as Lecturer, Prefect of Studies and Music-in-Charge for over 11 years and continues to be a visiting lecturer in the Department of Education, while being presently Rector at Don Bosco Centre, Krishnagar.

The book release at Salesian College, Sonada was part of the three days of UGC sponsored seminars on the themes of `Spirituality in Victorian Literature` by the English Department, `Commemorating 1857: An Eastern Perspective` by the History Department and `The Role of Tourism Industry in Human Resource Development in Darjeeling Hills` by the Tourism & Travel Management Department.

While there are over thirty books authored by Salesians who have been part of the Salesian College, in its seventy year history, the College Publication, initiated in 2004, has as of now five works to its credit.
