Kelani Cables PLC launched 'Kelani Visura' electrical technicians' training program a decade back. 'Kelani Visura' was initiated to gear electrical technicians scattered throughout the Island with latest techniques practiced in the sector.
A brand new 'Kelani Visura' workshop was held in Colombo with the commencement of the new year. Electrical technicians living in the vicinities of Amour Street and Messenger Street were taught latest methods of electrical wire-laying at the workshop in Brighton hotel.
'Kelani Visura' workshop was lead by Sanjeewa Gunetilleke, Sales Engineer, Kelani Cables PLC. The program hosted over 150 electrical technicians from the localities.
'Kelani Visura' being the leading workshop that trains electrical technicians and apprentices throughout Sri Lanka has reached the milestone of training 17,000 technicians to date.
Here the participants were taught how to; select wires with certified quality for the safety of houses and buildings, how to fix plug-points and switches taking into account the distance and nature of the house/building, criterions of selecting wires to suit the number of lamps, laying of wires and other relevant areas of crucial importance.
Significance of 'Kelani Visura' is, gearing each participant with the knowledge to illustrate an electrical wire-laying plan for a house or a building. Thus a technician who participates in 'Kelani Visura' becomes a person who could rub shoulders with experts in this competitive field.
Kelani Cables PLC without confining to Colombo and urban areas has taken 'Kelani Visura' workshops to other districts as well. Districts such as Kilinochchi, Jaffna, Vavuniya, Trincomalee, Batticaloa, Kalmunai, Ampara and Moneragala benefited immensely from 'Kelani Visura'. In the process professional lives and social status of families in these districts were upgraded making 'Kelani Visura' a valuable CSR program.
Channa Jayasinghe, Brand Development Manager, Kelani Cables PLC expressing his views said, "With the pay-off line 'wire nan Kelani', Kelani Cables has saturated the marketplace with many products with superior quality. Kelani Cables maintains its position as the number one brand in secure electrical and communication cables in the Sri Lankan marketplace".
"We decided to commence 2016 'Kelani Visura' program from Colombo since electrical technicians here engage in electrical wire laying projects taking place all over the country. They are often hired to work in projects done by foreign companies too. 'Kelani Visura' commenced in 2016 to provide these electrical technicians with comprehensive and world-class knowledge of the subject to brighten their professional lives," he said.
