Issue No. 95
Editorial Mr. E.A.Vidyasekera
With this issue our magazine “Development and Socio-Economic Progress” will undergo a transformation. As we are living in an age of “Information Technology”, more and more people use internet in their daily life. Most of our friends and even AAPSO national committees use internet and websites. Therefore we have decided with this issue to feed our website rather than separately publishing the magazine. This serves time and economise work. Interested readers can select the required article from the issue in the website.
