Mr Joseph further said that "NEPC has launched this HRD Certificate Course with a firm conviction that the development of the region cannot be successfully accomplished without drawing out the hidden potential of the staff and enhancing their ability to deliver especially at a time which calls for a different set of skills and competencies to tackle the post tsunami recovery process."

"It is heartening to note that the NEPC is slowly letting go of its old paradigms and embracing new paradigms. Through this learning the NEPC has given a message which is loud and clear that individual development leads to team development which in turn leads to organizational development which leads to societal development," said Mr.Joseph.

Mr.Jospeh added that "when we talk about Human Resource Development, we in the SLITAD are not only talking about enhancing the Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes of people, we very keenly focus on other attributes of human resource such as creativity, mental alertness, physical health, relationship with others, values that is character and spiritual well being without which knowledge and attitudinal development will be sterile exercise."
