Look Back


Personal Progress and Development, which is known as PPD was a different kind of a session series where it was not yet another lecture where we used to sit inside a lecture hall and listening to what lecturer says. We has this through out the whole two years and we were able to sharpen us in many ways.

It helped us to develop our Personality, Self Confidence, how to over come with stage fear, Public Speaking, Decision making, taught us Team spirit and so on. Simply this course module has established to makes us a fulfilled person with everything you need as a Professional in this society.

They conducted various kind of sessions to accomplish above mentioned things and since they are not just ordinary sessions we do in university, every  single session made us interesting since it was always an new experience for us.

Nowadays most of the students have no confident when they go to public, and lack of communication skills, don't know how to talk with the people with respect and politeness and lot more weaknesses. But we as undergraduates are fortunate to have a session like this during our university life before we go to the industry.

Finally what I felt about PPD is really a good module for us to get rid from all our weaknesses and it helped us to STAND INFRONT OF THE SOCIETY WITH A STRONG BACKBONE. If I see some kind of progress in me, it's not because of anything, it's because of PPD and the persons who were behind this. Total credit goes to them. Finally I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you Madam Sarasi Senadheera and the staff who were there in the past to conduct all the PPD sessions.
