INTRODUCTION General Sir John Kotelawala Defence Academy was established under the Sir John Kotelawala Defence Academy Act No. 68 of 1981 and its scope of operation has been enhanced by several subsequent amendments. The Academy was elevated to university status by the Sir John Kotelawala Defence Academy (Amendment) Act No. 27 of 1988 and subsequently renamed as “General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University” in terms of the (Amendment) Act No. 50 of 2007. This Annual Report covers the activities and performances of the University during the period 01st January 2016 to 31st December 2016. The Annual Report and Annual Accounts of General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University are presented herein in compliance with Section 14 (1) of the Finance Act, No: 38 of 1971. 3 2. VISION, MISSION AND OBJECTIVES OF THE UNIVERSITY 2.1 Vision To be a university nationally and internationally known for its unique ability to engage both undergraduate and graduate students in distinctive and interdisciplinary defence-related higher education that best serves the tri- services, the state sector, and society at large. 2.2 Mission To ensure a high-quality, learner-centred educational experience through undergraduate, graduate and professional programmes along with high quality research across many disciplines in the field of Defence, in both residential and non-residential settings in the campus. 2.3 Objectives a. To provide facilities to introduce officer cadets to the profession of arms and guide them to develop their knowledge and skills in the profession of arms, prior to being commissioned in the Armed Forces. b. To provide facilities for and instructions in academic studies for officer cadets, officers, public servants and any other persons in preparation for the first degree in such subjects that are relevant to their professions or employment. c. To foster a spirit of comradeship and goodwill amongst officer cadets to develop a sense of amity and unity amongst the officer corps of the Armed Forces for the purpose of facilitation of joint operations during the course of their service in the said forces. d. To provide courses of study on continuous professional development for officers of the Armed Forces and other persons to make them qualified for the award of postgraduate degrees, diplomas and other certificates offered by the University. e. To discharge such other functions including research and development as the University may consider necessary for the achievement of its objectives. 4 3. VICE-CHANCELLOR’S REVIEW General Sir John Kotelawala Defence Academy was initially established by the Parliamentary Act No. 68 of 1981 with the key objective of providing facilities for academic education in certain subjects pertinent to training of pre-trained Cadet Officers and providing instructions in such academic activities. Following its elevation to University status by General Sir John Kotelawala Defence Academy (Amendment) Act No. 27 of 1988, it was renamed General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University by the Amendment Act No. 50 of 2007. The Defence University, turning into a University with a global approach, has been able at present to acquire the reputation of the only defence University in the South Asian region that awards degrees in defence studies. The University has secured membership of the Commonwealth Universities Association of the United Kingdom and the international Universities Union and gives the lifeblood to the role of Pioneer to provide the light of wisdom to the defence service and civilian student community who endeavour to achieve the challenging strategies successfully. Within its very short history, the Defence University has become a full-fledged international-level University consisting of 10 Faculties including the Faculties of Postgraduate Studies, Defence and Strategic Studies, Medicine, Engineering, Law, Management, Social Sciences and Humanities, Allied Health, Built Environment and Spatial Sciences, Research and Development, and Computing. Upholding its credo - “FOR THE MOTHERLAND FOREVER”, the General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University offers Undergraduate Degrees and Postgraduate Degrees of high standard to local and foreign scholars of discipline and quality upbringing. 5 The University conducted its 9th International Research Conference on the theme “PROFESSIONAL INTEGRITY FOR A SECURE NATION” on 8th and 9th September at the University premises. Many experts and academics from defence services and civil society participated in it. The Convocation of the University was held under the auspices of His Excellency Maithripala Sirisena, President of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, on 2 November 2016. Under various disciplines 708 undergraduate and Postgraduate Degrees were awarded. The true social effect of multifarious strategic management methodologies and staff motivational activities implemented by the University having taken into timely international trends in a far-sighted manner will undoubtedly be reflected on the performance of the University. The academic and physical progress achieved by the University during the year under review was a victory gained collectively by the staff through accurate management approaches and leadership. It laid the strong basis for the perpetual existence of the University. We shall functions as one in order to reach our Vision by focusing more on teaching and learning activities, research and academic activities, and infrastructure development etc. for enhancing cooperation with external parties who show an interest towards the University. Rear Admiral J.J. Ranasinghe Vice Chancellor General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University 6 4.

One more year passed, and a new beginning is here, so let us welcome the coming year with love, joy, and peace. The New Year is the time when we all are excited about the new opportunities which are going to knock at our doorstep. It is time to forget all the past bad memories and move forward with a positive outlook. Everyone has been very quick to wish 2020 away but, as we reflect on the year that was, we should realise how many lessons we have learnt and how much we must be grateful for. Many of us entered the world of lockdown and were forced into entirely new psychological and social situations. These changes created stronger bonds with our families while looking after each other in the confined space of our own homes. Many of our members resorted to online programs like Zoom to keep our lifelong friendships alive and maintain the camaraderie built up over the years. Due to COVID restrictions, all our key events were cancelled or postponed. During this period, RCOBAA committee decided to assist student Royalists in need of urgent help due to loss of employment and income. A sub-committee was formed to assist the students by purchasing and delivering dry rations. A few of the members from our community and from our membership came forward to assist with generous donations, free legal, accounting, and medical help.
