Tissa Vitharana, who was the chief guest at the opening ceremony, stressed the importance of quality Indian education that will surely support the local students on the long run. India continues to be a popular higher educational destination for Sri Lankan students due to a number of reasons. As our closest neighbor we could reach India easily, the fellow citizens’ nature & culture are almost the same and that will not affect or disturb the students unlike in some western parts of the world and most important fact would be the guaranteed quality of higher education available and the state of the art facilities offered in these higher educational institutes in India, the Minister Vitharana continued to say during his address.
