In addition, IBSL is now in the process of constructi­ng 12 stories Stateof- the -Art Building, to provide better learning facilities to its clients. Dr. Abeyratne was instrument­al in initiating and achieving those progressiv­e elements at the IBSL. During his tenure, on behalf the IBSL management, he has submitted a proposal to Honorable Minister of Higher education and University Grant commission to obtain degree awarding status to the IBSL as there has been continuous demand from the IBSL's student members . This request has considered favorably by the UGC high powered team and only few conditions have to be fulfilled as per the UGC recommenda­tion to elevate IBSL as degree awarding Institute and it will become a reality in near future.
