SANASA Idiriya empowers undergraduates for career success

An awareness programme to develop knowledge and skills of young graduates to contribute proactively for the development of the agricultural sector was conducted for the final year undergraduates of the Faculty of Agriculture of the Wayamba University. 

The programme took place at the Agricultural Research and Training Institute of Sri Lanka recently. 

It was organised in conjunction with the SANASA Idiriye programme (SANASA Forward), which was conceived by the founder of the SANASA group, Dr.  P.A. Kiriwandeniya. The event was graced by, Dr.  Kiriwandeniya, Chancellor of Wayamba University, Director of SANASA Campus Prof. W.D. Lakshman and Dean of Faculty of Agriculture Prof. Jagath Edirisinghe. Other dignitaries who attended included executives from SANASA Life Insurance and SANASA General Insurance as well as other members of the SANASA Group.

The primary purpose of this programme was to offer assistance to students who have reached notable academic milestones by supporting them in charting a path towards successful entrepreneurial careers.  During the event, the students were able to enhance their knowledge and skills, thereby strengthening the foundation for success in their post-graduate endeavours. 

In his address, Dr.  Kiriwandeniya highlighted the importance of Sri Lanka’s integration into the global community in today’s technologically advanced era. 

“We can no longer consider ourselves as a small country and we cannot survive in isolation.  At a time when the world has become a global village with technology, the young generation has become a social group with special responsibilities,” he stated.

He further stated that the 14 companies in the SANASA group, including SANASA Life Insurance and SANASA General Insurance, are looking forward to providing internship training with professional knowledge as well as long-term employment to students completing their final year in the national universities Sri Lanka.
