Mahinda Society Launches New Initiative to Inspire University-Bound Students

Mahinda Society, the Old Boys’ Association of Mahinda College, Galle, recently organised “Uni Night 26,” a gathering of alumni and prospective university students, at the Solis Hall in Kotte. The event was held under the patronage of Professor Ananda Wijewickrama.

The chief guest was Professor Ananda Wijewickrama, an alumnus of Mahinda College and Chairman of the National Medicines Regulatory Authority. Deputy Minister of Digital Economy Eranga Weeraratne was also present.

The event brought together distinguished alumni of Mahinda College, providing an opportunity for former students to reconnect and encourage the next generation of university entrants.

The programme was organised primarily to motivate students who had completed their GCE Advanced Level examinations at Mahinda College and qualified for university admission.

A key highlight of the gathering was the launch of the Mahinda Society’s new website, marking a new initiative by the association.

Several prominent alumni attended the event, including Shani Abeysekara and Ceylon Petroleum Corporation Chairman D. J. Rajakaruna.
