Janashakthi Life is proud to announce the successful completion of the Janashakthi Shilpa Shakthi Year 5 Scholarship Programme, a milestone initiative that has provided inclusive and equitable quality education to young students across Sri Lanka. The programme, which has been running for more than 10 consecutive years, continues to inspire and promote lifelong learning opportunities for Sri Lankan youth.
This year alone, over 5,000 students from across the island benefited from the programme, which was conducted in more than 50 schools spanning major cities, including Colombo, Kandy, Matale, and Hettipola. By reaching students from diverse backgrounds, the programme has reinforced its commitment to fostering a brighter future for the next generation.
The initiative also included an exciting raffle draw, where three lucky winners received mountain bicycles as gifts. The winners of the raffle were: Ramesha Diwyanjali from Hettipola, Gihan Idhuwara from Matale and Sandeeptha Weerasingha from Kandy.
These prizes were a gesture of appreciation and encouragement for the students, who have demonstrated their passion for learning and personal growth.
Speaking about the programme, Ravi Liyanage, Director/CEO of Janashakthi Insurance PLC, said, “At Janashakthi Life, we firmly believe that education is one of the most powerful tools for driving social change and empowering individuals. It is through education that young minds can realize their full potential, transcend socio-economic barriers, and build a better future for themselves and their communities. The Shilpa Shakthi Scholarship Programme is a cornerstone of our commitment to nurturing the next generation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers. By providing scholarships and creating opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds, we aim to level the playing field and ensure that every student, regardless of their circumstances, has the chance to succeed. This year, as we reach more than 5,000 students, we are more encouraged than ever by the impact of this initiative. We take great pride in seeing students gain access to quality education, develop essential skills, and grow in confidence. The success of the programme reaffirms our belief in the importance of community engagement and youth development. As we continue to expand our efforts, we remain committed to empowering young people, shaping a brighter and more equitable future for Sri Lanka.”
This expanded version adds further context to Janashakthi Life’s mission and emphasizes the broader vision of youth empowerment, equal opportunity, and community development through education.
