Rebuilding Sri Lanka: A Fifth IT Laboratory Opens at Ananda College, Chilaw

On 10th February 2026, Technocity Pvt Ltd marked a significant milestone in its corporate social responsibility journey with the successful completion of its fifth IT laboratory, this time at Ananda College, Chilaw.

The handover forms part of the broader Rebuilding Sri Lanka program, launched to restore educational infrastructure and uplift communities affected by the devastation caused by Cyclone Ditwah in late 2025. For a school community still recovering from that disaster, a fully equipped computer laboratory is more than new hardware. It's a signal that recovery includes looking forward, not just repairing what was lost.

The event was graced by Pradeep Saputhanthri, Secretary to the Prime Minister, who attended as Chief Guest. Famy Ismail, Chairman of Technocity Pvt Ltd and Laptop.lk, attended as Guest of Honor, alongside Mr. Kadeer, Director of Technocity Pvt Ltd, and Mr. Hemal Chandrathne, Head of Services.

The IT equipment donated to Ananda College was valued at approximately LKR 6.5 million, contributing to the overall LKR 50 million commitment Technocity Pvt Ltd has pledged toward the Rebuilding Sri Lanka initiative. It's a pledge being delivered one school at a time, and this laboratory represents another substantial step toward fulfilling it.

For the students of Ananda College, the new laboratory means real, hands-on access to modern computing, at a moment when digital literacy is no longer optional for education or employment. It gives a new generation of students the tools they need to succeed in a digital world, regardless of the setbacks their community has faced.

This milestone reflects Technocity Pvt Ltd's continued dedication to empowering education through technology, and to supporting the nation's long-term recovery and development, one laboratory and one school at a time.
