New Delhi, India, September 27, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Centum Learning has won the UK India Skills Forum Award for the 'Best Skills project in Rural Community' category. This fourth international award, in a short span of one year, is a representation of the commitment of Centum Learning towards transforming India by enhancing the skills of the Indian workforce.
