Viru Sisu Pradeepa scholarships pave the way for outstanding students

Another initiative for the Viru Sisu Pradeepa scholarship, part of the National Defence Fund’s educational support programmes, took place at the Navy Headquarters today (07th November 2024), under the patronage of Rear Admiral Lashanth N Hewavitharana, Director General Services.

As part of this programme, 12 scholarship examination achievers from naval families, who got through the scholarship examination in 2022, qualified for these scholarships. At today’s event, the daughter of Leading Seaman DMN Gunawardana, who retired due to disabilities sustained in action, symbolically received a child savings account and school supplies.

Additionally, the remaining scholarship recipients will receive child savings accounts and school supplies through their respective Naval Commands where they reside.
