Upgrading
Human Resource Development Authority delivers upgrading skill development program
as part of our sponsorship initiative. Community members who apply for sponsorship
to any of the program are required to attend the program as a proof of their commitment.
We believe that it will help to increase the success ratio of sponsored students,
as they would know more about their career choices as they go through the skill
development program and on the other hand it will also help to spare some of the
resources in terms of time and cost.

Life Skills
It is important for our youth to understand how the world is understood by our traditions
and the knowledge of our ancestors, acquired over centuries, by living with nature
and its environment as they have to carry it to the next generation. We have this
responsibility to integrate these life long learning’s into a course to be taught
to our students. This 15 days course is offered as part of upgrading skill development
program where students learn about traditional ways of dealing with complex problems
of western world. It helps them understand their concept of existence; it gives
meanings to their life. It helps them motivate for learning and participate in the
process of life.
