Towards the end, the host, Chairperson of the SLASC-SVB presented a special memento to Mrs Janaki Liyanage, President, ASVU, adding memories to the day.
Troops are thus able to produce their own requirement of Yoghurt per day in Diyatalawa and are capable of supplying the excess to the external market, if approached. The profits of the Yoghurt product are used for soldiers’ welfare projects.
