  • Annual Report of the National Science Foundation for the Year 2011
    NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2011 47/5, MAITLAND PLACE, COLOMBO 07 SRI LANKA Chairperson’s Message It is my pleasant duty to present the Annual Report of NSF, for the financial year ended 31 st December 2011. During the fiscal year 2011 the nation’s economy continued to challenge specially the institutions funded by the state. However despite the constraints experienced during the year, NSF relentlessly pursued the achievement of its goals, while achieving the laudable pursuits of transparency, and speedy decision making. The strategic thinking and positioning necessary to enhance the future prospects of the NSF and its deliverables were a continued concern of the Board of Management. Avenues to strengthen the functioning of NSF, promoting innovation especially in high end technologies and serving the scientific community therefore have been pursued rigorously un-entrenched with any self – interests and ideological mind sets. I am glad to mention that, due to the dedication of the Board of Management, the Advisory Boards, Research Panels and more importantly the Staff, NSF committed to many scientific projects during the year. In addition, to the many activities that NSF has carried out during the year achieving its objectives, I wish to make a special mention on, the synergistic relationship that has been brought between the scientists, the business and the government, through Nano-Technology activities, that had been carried out at SLINTEC, an initiative of NSF. The nano technology initiative established in 2006 was well under way during 2011 and have applied already for seven U.S. patents for the new products/processes that have been discovered at SLINTEC.

  • Mrs Kalyani De Zoysa Was the Second Principal of Devi Balika Vidyalaya
    MRS. KALYANI DE ZOYSA Mrs Kalyani de Zoysa was the second principal of Devi Balika Vidyalaya. From the date the government Girls’ College, Castle Street (later Devi Balika Vidyalaya) was found, she was there as a teacher and as a principal until she got retired, guiding and paving the path for a brighter future for thousands of girls. Baby Kalyani Abeysiriwardhena was born on the 19 th May, 1925 at Godagedara, closer to Balapitiya in Galle District. She was the fourth in a family of seven. Being a daughter of a wealthy and distinguished family, she received part of her education at home itself from teachers who came to teach the seven children. She had her primary education at Godagedara Primary School and at Sidhartha College, Balapitiya. As a Buddhist Family, all members didn’t forget to go to the temple and observe ‘Sill’ on every ‘full moon Poya’ day. They essentially listened to ‘Dhamma Talk’. After the untimely death of her mother, her father decided to shift to Maradana, Colombo, where they had a printing press. Then she was only nine years old. After a couple of years her beloved father was also passed away leaving the responsibilities of the family to the eldest son – Phelix. Even though it’s a boys’ school today, Miss Kalyani had her secondary education at Ananda College, Maradana. Several Girls were there with her in the class. The girls had their education in an environment where very strict disciplinary actions were practiced. Kalyani got through the University Entrance examination with flying colours. Although everybody in her family was very happy with her results, no one wanted her to see going to a university.
