              According to the below link, Training already been given to Sri Lanka Navy Pilots back in Jan 20 So that means more training going to be given to Sri Lanka Navy?

                              India is hoping to transfer a Dornier reconnaissance aircraft to Sri Lanka in a bid to boost defence collaboration between the two countries, Swarajya news reported yesterday quoting Times Now.

                              It said the move follows the recent conclusion of a joint military exercise between the two countries.

                                I do hope to see them flying again but since the aircraft are in reserve they will only be put into operation if their "services" are needed (hopefully never). They will carry out these routine runs every few years so that if they need to be put back into operation they have the expertise to do it and to do it fast.
