Lankaputhra Development Bank reaches twelveth year

Lankaputhra Development Bank marked its 12th year recently.

The commemoration ceremony was held at the bank’s Colombo headquarters premises, giving the foremost place to all religious activities.

Lankaputhra Development Bank Chairman Sujith Kariyawasam and the officials of the senior management, including acting General Manager/ceo Ranjith Dissanayake and Working Director Thuan Riza Hameet, participated in this ceremony.

In line with this occasion, ceremonies had also been organised in the regional branches of the bank.

The significant feature of this commemoration ceremony is giving priority to corporate social responsibility. Accordingly, a special programme was organised for the girls living in the Gangodawila Balika Niwasaya. They were taken on a tour of the wetland park in Nugegoda, including a special boat ride. It was significant that the girls highly enjoyed this function. The skills of the girls were appreciated and school equipment and pairs of shoes were also presented to them at this occasion. They were provided vouchers to purchase clothes as they wish.

In line with the 12th commemoration ceremony, a special series of seminars titled ‘Vivasayaka Athweala’ has also been organised for the entrepreneurs who are engaged in self-employment in the Kandy area. Over 1000 such entrepreneurs from Wattegama, Mahaiyawa and Kandy took part in these seminars.

In addition, a blood donation campaign was also conducted at the Lankaputhra Development Bank head office, in which a large number of blood donors contributed.
