Sri Lanka Foundation lays the foundation for its new wing “The Independence Wing”

Sri Lanka Foundation (SLF) earlier popularly known as the Nation’s Premier centre for Adult Education, has now transformed into the national centre for Leadership, Education and Training under the purview of the presidential secretariat. SLF managed by a Board of management, has turned out to be a prominent institution in the fields of  Leadership, Education, and Training and other diverse sectors  contributing to  National Development in line with the “Mahinda Chinthana” Vision for the future to be the “Miracle of Asia” as envisaged by the President of Sri Lanka Hon. Mahinda Rajapakse.

In order to provide a more significant impact on society as a whole, and to meet the growing demands of the community, providing better quality services to its clients, SLF has to equip itself with better accommodation and modern equipment and core facilities as a centre for Leadership, Education and Training.     

“The Independence Wing” is the latest addition to the Sri Lanka Foundation, with hope for a better future. This proposed building will constitute lecture halls and conference hall facilities, and also a Studio, a Mini Auditorium and office cabins basically proposed in the new wing. Taking into consideration the location of SLF at Independence square, the new wing has been named as “The Independence Wing”.  

         

The Foundation for the “Independence Wing” was laid by Hon. Basil Rohana Rajapakse Minister of Economic Development of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, on Friday 1st of August 2014. In the presence of the Chairman of Sri Lanka Foundation Prof. Ranjith Bandara, members of the board of Management of SLF, Heads of Government and Corporate Organizations, distinguished invitees and Staff of Sri Lanka Foundation.
