CIC Manussakama

‘CIC Manussakama’ is a multi-dimensional CSR initiative consisting of several programmes that are multifaceted in their nature and approach.

 

‘CIC Manussakama’ was launched in 2008 with the objective of uplifting the lives of rural agricultural communities spread across Sri Lanka. This unique concept was instrumental in addressing the many needs of the rural communities and attracted many local and international accolades for its significant ability to transform lives through positive reinforcement.

 

The flagship event under ‘Manussakema’, ‘CIC Soora Goviya’ was carried out consecutively for four years from 2009 to 2013. This competition sought to positively recognize and reward young agricultural entrepreneurs of Sri Lanka. This novel concept was highly successful as it was able to create social recognition for these enterprising youth hailing from agricultural backgrounds along with rightfully recognizing their potential and capacity in the agricultural industry.

 

CIC has been always extending their fullest support to school-going children through its scholarship programmes. Every year, 75 high achievers of the Year 5 scholarship programme receive CIC scholarships pledging to support them till they complete their school years.
