The event was organised by Ajith Bopitiya, Treasurer – IPM Sri Lanka Council and Chairman, IPM Upahara 2017 together with the Organising Committee.
“Teaching, guiding, training and counselling our students at every level to achieve the highest levels of performance and achievement are noble tasks undertaken by our resource personnel on a day to day basis.
