Secretary to the Treasury and Ministry of Finance and Planning, Dr. R.H.S. Samaratunga, stressed in his address to the gathering the relevance of the MBA-CIT program in fulfilling the national aspiration of enhancing the country’s overall management standards.
Customs Director General Chulananda Perera emphasised the impact the new program would have on the overall efficiency of the organisation.
Dr. Travis Perera, Senior Consultant and Member of the Board of Management, PIM, provided a presentation on the contents and conduct of the MBA-CIT program. The faculty and the senior administrative staff of PIM attended the ceremony. Management Consultant Jayantha Newunhella delivered the vote of thanks.
