The ICTH vigour and yet again their hustle is further witnessed by Yakari – Food Street held at Siyapathsiya Udanaya ‘25, which created a space for the young cooks to put forth gastronomical stalls. Not stopping there, the Marketing Circle sets the ground for a thrilling competition of gamified learning experiences. From 150 students, three teams qualified for the grand finale.
