I am an Attorney-at-Law employed in a fund Management Company. I was practising in Matale for over a period of Ten years and have understood the difficulties faced by the Villagers specially the women in villagers. I would like to do a research on poverty and would like to analyse the same to find a way to help the poor in villagers. If you give me an oppotunity to have a discussion I wouldlike to share my experience that I have gained whilst practising in Matale Bar. In the circumstances I would like to be considered for the above scholaship at least to find a solution to reduce the poverty in our Country
