Message From The Chairman

Dr. P.A.Kiriwandeniya

I am very glad to see the positioning of the SANASA movement in the Sri Lnkan economy today.

This  movement originated with the revitalization of the Thrift and Credit Co-operative Society of Walgama in the Kegalle District. It played a very vital role at the commencement of the Sanasa regeneration by organizing the National conference for Sanasa movement in February 1978. Nearly 1000 Sanasa societies formed the core of the movement in 1980 and steadily increased the numbers, and there are around 8500 SANASA societies in the country at present. The brand name SANASA that was so established expanded rapidly across the country. In the first two decades since its founding, several institutions which play diversified and important roles in the economy were set up with the development-oriented vision. Sanasa Campus (Sanasa University) is one of the institutions which were  established by the movement.

At that time Sanasa faced the challenges of  identifying qualified and skilled young people who are fully dedicated to development education. The members of the Sanasa Societies and their children faced a challenging environment to qualify for entrance to Government Universities. Although our children at village level are intelligent, capable, and  knowledgeable   they are unable to technically qualify and be competent  to meet the development needs of the country due various socio economic factors. We at Sanasa identified the needs of its members,the issues they encountered and   were determined to build up our own university as a way to provide higher education and development education for future generations.

Message from the Vice-Chancellor

Rev. Prof. Wijitapure Wimalaratana (PhD)

I believe and am thoroughly convinced that degrees and certificates of learning alone do not comprehend education. It ensures even the character, personality, and integrity of the student. My endeavor, thus, has been to help through my close association with SANASA Campus to avail young men and women of today the opportunity to secure the academic proficiency and scholasticism integrated with such characters, personality, and integrity as is opportune for the advancement of the individual student/scholar and thus to help the promotion of greater welfare in the broader society, nationally and globally.

In the process of availing these opportunities to the youth and students of today, SANASA Campus has launched studies in the field of Management, and Sciences. In addition, the SANASA Campus plans to introduce more faculties of studies in the Social Sciences, Humanities, Quantitative Sciences, ICT and Media. Furthermore, the syllabi of the diverse programmes of studies are being updated and upgraded on a frequent basis by a highly qualified, well-experienced team of scholars who help the subjects reflect the pulsating realities of the dynamic, pulsating world of today, irrespective of whether it belongs to the economic, social, political, technical, or any other spheres of learning. This allows the SANASA graduates to shine above those qualified from other private institutions of advanced education in Sri Lanka.
