The first
group of students has

Institute (RITTI) in Clappenburg,
Trincomalee. According to Army
media, 52 school children from
low income families representing
all ethnic groups in the region
had followed the maiden course
offered free of charge by the
RITTI.
Children who had successfully completed the 45 hour
course were presented with certificates during a ceremony held last
