As an educational institution the main aim of the CISS is providing courses
for students to earn Certificates, Diploma, and Degrees in the field of
astronomy.
Other than that the CISS gives an opportunity for adults to register as a
research student of the CISS and do research in the field of astronomy
under the supervision of the CEO of the CISS.
Sri Lanka is situated in the low gravity area closer to the equator and a
country which blessed with tourist’s attraction. Therefore The CISS
stretched its hands towards the tourism and started a program for tourists
as “Astro & Gastro”. Under this program we hope to acknowledge about
our inherited methods and believes related with the behaviour of celestial
bodies specially planets in our solar system
We have now started popularizing Astronomy among Schools in Sri Lanka
and imparting knowledge about Astronomy. For that, we direct students to
build Astronomy societies in schools. Through that, we identify students
who are inclined to Astronomy in schools and refer them to our Courses.
Since we can provide students with a pathway from the certificate course to
the degree Program.
Our Institute organizes workshops on the basis of informing people about
Astronomy and Popularizing our institute in society. In particular, we
conduct workshops on the Handling and maintenance of Telescopes and
night camp workshops for the general public.
As a CSR project, we are mainly promoting Astronomy through schools in
the remote areas of Sri Lanka. And we are working to provide all the
educational experiences that children living in urban environments get to
the children of those provinces. Furthermore, we are making efforts to
direct those children to the field of Astronomy and through that present
them for national and international level competitive exams and give them
recognition. Through these activities, we hope to popularize our institution
throughout Sri Lanka.
