B<\/strong>een attached to the Sri Lanka Utility, Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) as a Transmission Planning Engineer (2004-2009), I was engaging providing sustainable network solution for the country\u2019s need. Further I was engaged in research on finding sustainable power generation options which suit for the country. \u00a0Mean time I was selected to the Sustainable Energy Engineering Worldwide (SEEW) Mater degree program conducted by KTH-Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden and it helped me to have a better understanding of the sustainable power generation. The knowledge gain thru the program was backed me to do the transmission & generation planning exercises with better understanding. Further it opened a great opportunity for me to have the world best experts\u2019 knowhow on the world best practices in system planning, their knowledge & experience. As a result my vision of having sustainable power options to Sri Lanka system was enhanced more and more.\u00a0 The knowledge & experience gained from the SEEW Mater degree was helped greatly in all other research which I have done so far. Further it influence me to find sustainable solutions for the problems raised in my current working place-Broadlands Hydropower Project in CEB.<\/p>\n

Though it is based on the concept of distant learning, I never felt any difference with the aspect of gaining knowledge & experience compared to my other degree programs. As a working mother, the SEEW program made me to manage my work better with all my responsibilities on work and home.<\/p>\n

After some years of the program, I am in the process of sharing the knowledge & experience which I gained from the SEEW M.Sc program to the society in several working streams such as in my carrier as an engineer to Sri Lanka utility, as a member of various professional societies related to energy management and engineering, working on publications and social Medias and etc<\/p>\n

Finally I would like to thank the personnel who worked hard to make the program a success and who facilitate this kind of program for the Sri Lankan students and would like to bless them to work to be continued in future as well.<\/p>\n
