In a significant gesture, Former Minister Mahinda Amaraweera has formally handed over his residence on Paget Road, Colombo, to Sirimavo Bandaranaike Vidyalaya, as per a Cabinet decision. This substantial move is a testament to the government’s commitment to repurpose state-owned properties for the greater good, particularly in the realm of education.
The once-grand residence, now vacated by Amaraweera, is set to undergo a transformation into a state-of-the-art educational facility. The school, eager to capitalize on this opportunity, will utilize the premises to enhance its existing infrastructure, providing students with better resources and facilities. This bold initiative is expected to have a profound impact on the educational landscape of Colombo.
With the handover, the school is set to receive the 12,000 square-foot property, which has been strategically located to facilitate easy access for students. The move is seen as a significant step forward in supporting the development of education in the city, catering to the growing needs of the student population.
“We are thrilled to accept this generous gift from Former Minister Mahinda Amaraweera,” said Sirimavo Bandaranaike Vidyalaya’s Principal. “This new facility will enable us to provide students with a comfortable and conducive learning environment, allowing them to reach their full potential.”
This significant development is a testament to the importance placed on education in Sri Lanka. By repurposing state-owned properties for educational and public benefit, the government is demonstrating its commitment to investing in the nation’s most valuable asset – its people.
As the Sirimavo Bandaranaike Vidyalaya embarks on this exciting new chapter, students and educators alike can look forward to witnessing the transformation of the property into a thriving hub of learning.
