Rebuilding Sri Lanka: A New IT Laboratory for Zahira College, Puttalam On 17th January, Technocity officially inaugurated its first IT laboratory under the Rebuilding Sri Lanka initiative at Zahira College, Puttalam, a milestone that brings modern digital learning within reach of students across the North Western Province. The laboratory is equipped with 20 brand-new Intel Core i5 branded PC systems, each fitted with 8GB RAM and a 512GB SSD, paired with 22 inch monitors, UPS units, and the tables and chairs needed to turn the space into a proper working classroom. Altogether, the setup represents an investment of Rs. 5 million, funded entirely as part of Technocity's ongoing commitment to expanding access to technology in schools that need it most. Puttalam was a deliberate starting point. The new facility does not serve Zahira College alone. It has been established to support the wider Puttalam and Chilaw districts, giving students and teachers from as many as 40 schools in the region a place to build the digital skills that are quickly becoming essential, whether for coursework, exams, or the working world that follows. For many students in the area, this laboratory will be their first real, sustained exposure to a properly equipped computer classroom. That kind of access changes what's possible in a classroom. It opens the door to computer literacy programs, digital examinations, research, and the everyday familiarity with technology that students in better-resourced schools often take for granted. This is only the first step. As the second phase of the Rebuilding Sri Lanka initiative, Chilaw Ananda College is next in line to receive a brand-new IT laboratory of its own, extending the same opportunity further into the region. Rebuilding Sri Lanka is a continuation of Technocity's long-standing belief that access to technology should not be limited by geography or circumstance. Each laboratory handed over under this initiative is a step toward closing that gap, one school and one province at a time.
