A note to the President t is an earnest patriotic display to have our national anthem sung Iand our national flag hoisted at all national functions attended by the high and the mighty of our land.

I am quite pleased to have been able to achieve a substantial development of human and physical resources in this university during the year under review. Even though the necessity of a building complex severely affected the University, in the background of the then administrators failing to pay any attention in this regard, I recollect the manner in which necessary action was taken by me in this behalf whilst holding preliminary discussions with Mr,.Ariyaratne Kaluarachchi, the then Senior Lecturer, even though I did not hold any appointment at that time. It should be necessarily stressed here that the foundation for the “Albert Crescent Building Complex Development” was laid based on our personal requests made to Mr. S.B.Dissanayake, Minister of Youth Affairs, Sports, Rural Development and Samurdhi in the then United Front government, during discussions held with him and through his intervention. As the incumbent Vice Chancellor of this University, I was provided with the opportunity to expand its preliminary stage which started with 300 million rupees to be developed up to 870 million rupees later as the Faculty of Music building, administrative wing and the common student center, with the appointment of Mr.S.B.Dissanayake as minister in charge of my ministry itself.

    4€ Design graphique : Marion Tigréat / www.mariontigreatportfolio.com Lyannaj ! Une expression découverte ici à la faveur du mouvement populaire qui a agité La Guadeloupe, La Martinique… Et la « métropole » au début du printemps. Si le vocable Pwofitation a lui aussi connu un grand succès public, c’est au Lyannaj que nous dédions notre 9ème édition. Formidable langue créole qui nous offre ce mot en partage… Littéralement « lianer », c’est nouer, relier, vivre ensemble, et faire ensemble. Or depuis 2001, notre propos est justement de créer ce « Lyannaj » à Groix. Les insulaires et les amoureux des îles s’y retrouvent autour du cinéma, de la musique, et des débats. Lyannaj… à Sri Lanka. Notre île invitée en a bien besoin ! L'actuelle défaite militaire de la rebellion séparatiste tamoul met fin à près de 30 ans d'un conflit qui aura fait plus de 80 000 morts. Sans partis pris, autre que celui des populations civiles, nous avons invité des personnalités qui défendent la paix, la démocratie, et le « vivre ensemble », toutes confessions et ethnies confondues. En partenariat avec Amnesty International, nous vous proposons une vingtaine de films en provenance de l’île « aux mille sourires » et aux mille peines, en majorité inédits en France. Lyannaj toujours, mais cette fois contre la pwofitation. Nous vous invitons, par des films et des débats, à revenir sur le formidable séisme qui a secoué La Guadeloupe et la Martinique, avant de nous arrêter une nouvelle fois chez leur voisine Haïti. Nous la fêterons à travers des documentaires et des concerts afin d’amorcer notre futur partenariat avec la commune des Abricots et son maire Jean-Claude Fignolé.

  • Trailblazers of Fine Arts
    Kaushalya Fernando T RAILBLAZERS OF FINE ARTS ...: She belongs to a new generation of artistes Face to Face by Ranga Chandrarathne Jackson Anthony's venomous attack on Kaushalya's acting once condemned her as an actress who is willing to expose 'ugly nudity, and categorised her as one among a group of actors including Hemasiri Liyanage, W.Jayasiri, Mahendra Perera and Saumya Liyanage. He also condemned this group's application of the media, as those films were not aesthetic creations, but creations based on delirious thoughts. It is surprising to hear a person who had worked with progressive directors like Dharmasiri Bandaranayake and the late Sugathapala de Silva making such petty and baseless remarks on serious and ground-braking creative work. Career Kaushalya did not want to comment on the adverse remarks. In her trailblazing career, she has acted in many stage dramas including 'Vikurti', 'Katandara Dekak' by her mother Somalatha Subasinghe, 'Punthila' a play directed by a Finnish theatre director and Sugathapala de Silva's 'Marat Sade' for which Kaushalya won Special Award of the Jury. Among the stage plays she acted are Dharmasiri Bandaranaike's 'Dhawala Bheeshana' for which she won the best actress's award, Somalatha Subasinghe's 'Antigone', 'Dona Kathirina', 'Yadam' and 'Nambukara Vilasiniya'. In most of these stage plays, Kaushalya won either Best Actress's Award or Best Supporting Actress's Award. For Asoka Handagama's 'Dunhida Addara' and 'Sanda Dadayama', Kaushalya won the Best Actress's Award and the Best Actress's Critic's Award. Handagama's 'Diyakata Pahana', Sudath Mahadiulwewe's 'Wanaspathi', Bertram Nihal's 'Isuru Gira' were some of the other teledramas she acted in.

  • Annual Report of the University of the Visual
    MESSAGE OF THE VICE CHANCELLOR Introduction Having studied as a student of the University of the Visual and Performing Arts, and later having served it as a Lecturer, and thereafter holding various appointments such as Head of a Department and Dean of a Faculty and after being appointed Vice Chancellor, I make a note with great pleasure about the activities of the University of the Visual and Performing Arts during the year ending 31st December, 2011. As the incumbent Vice Chancellor of this University, I was provided with the opportunity to expand its preliminary stage which started with 300 million rupees to be developed up to 870 million rupees later as the Faculty of Music building, administrative wing and the common student center, with the appointment of Mr. S. B. Dissanayake as minister in charge of my ministry. The problem faced by the University in regard to hostels would be mitigated to a considerable extent due to the possibility by now of commencing the construction activities of female and male hostels bestowed to us through the Mahinda Chinthana of His Excellency the President of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka. Through this, it would be possible to provide residential facilities to around 800 students, and there would be a substantial saving in the rents paid to private houses. Whilst no action had been ever taken previously to legally vest in the University the Horton Place premises used by this institute since the year 1949, the Albert Crescent premises used since the year 1952, and other premises at Kohuwela, Dehiwela and Rajagiriya, I paid serious attention to this matter and took action to get all these premises vested.

Sabaratnam; published April 7, 2004 36: ‘We are going to break heads’ Unguarded Remark David Selbourne was a British journalist who worked for the Manchester Guardian freelanced for many other journals. He had been at Oxford University with Lalith Athulathmudali. He visited Sri Lanka in June 1982 and was introduced to President Jayewardene, Gamini Dissanayake and others. One day President Jayewardene invited him to accompany them in his car to a public meeting. That was one of Jayewardene’s strategies to win over journalists. J.R. Jayawardene During the ride the conversation turned to the Tamil problem and its solutions. Selbourne in his report quoted Athulathmudali as saying: We are going to break heads. Athulathmudali naturally denied that remark and thereafter treated Selbourne as an enemy. When Selbourne returned to Sri Lanka in June 1983, detectives followed him. Selbourne went to Kantharmadam, the scene of the army arson that followed the killing of a soldier who was guarding a polling station during the May 18 local government election. He interviewed the affected people who said the reprisal was conducted after a senior officer who arrived on the scene gave the order. Selbourne also interviewed Amirthalingam who told him that “LTTE’s actions were constantly protected by the Tamil community,” and that the LTTE was “at the forefront of the struggle for Tamil self-determination.” Selbourne then made an appointment with Chief Justice Neville Samarakoon, who had fallen out with Jayewardene following a mob demonstration against Supreme Court judges B.
