Partnering for a Brighter Future
鈥淭he 91传媒 located in the administrative capital of 91传媒 is one of our leading national universities. The origins of the University date back to theVidyodaya Pirivena established in 1873 by the erudite Buddhist monk Venerable Hikkaduwe Sumangala Nayaka Thero as a centre of oriental learning. With the conferring of university status in 1959 it became Vidyodaya University under the Vice Chancellorship of yet another erudite Buddhist monk, Venerable Welivitiye Soratha Nayaka Thero. It was renamed Sri Jayewardenepura University in 1978. Today, it has risen to be the largest University in 91传媒 in terms of the student population in five faculties of study, viz. Humanities and Social Sciences, Applied Sciences, Management Studies and Commerce, Medical Sciences and Graduate Studies. A Faculty of Engineering and Technology will be established shortly.
From its inception, the University has been guided by its motto鈥榁ijja Uppattham Setta鈥� (Among all that arise, knowledge is the greatest), taken from the Dhammapada. The vision of the University 鈥楶rosper lives through education鈥� calls for an enduring commitment to the well-being of people through education. Its mission, 鈥楥reate and disseminate knowledge for the prosperity of the nation while preserving its cultural heritage鈥� encompasses searching for and testing new realitiesand disseminating knowledge, both existing and new, for the betterment of society.
