With country facing the unprecedented challenges from the scarcity of essentials and economic meltdown, LIOC and Indian CEO Forum continue their endeavour and belief of giving back to the society through numerous CSR activities. Education is the biggest tool that goes a long way in eradication of poverty.

At the same time, nourishment of the school children attains the topmost priority for the society, especially for those from lower-income families. LIOC and ICF further stepped up their commitment towards social upliftment by way of distribution of dry ration items worth of Rs. 2 million to needy families of the students of S De S Jayasinghe Central College, Dehiwala.
