“The year 2014/15 was a positively significant year for IPM Sri Lanka, recording tangible results in many spheres. The well-defined programme of activities implemented with the dedicated efforts of the leaders and members of the Council Subcommittees were successful in delivering results which added value to the institute as well as to the membership,” said Amarapala.

“As the nation’s leader in HRM we strongly believe that promoting and propagating the Human Resource Discipline and uplifting the HR profession is our core responsibility as an institute. This is the primary mandate we have received at the time of our incorporation by the Parliamentary Act and we must therefore not lose focus and sight of this important obligation on our part when discharging our responsibilities towards this institute,” he added.
