West Troops Coordinate Free Distribution of School Needs for Deserving 130 Students

A programme to distribute a large stock of school accessories, including equipment, exercise books and other stationery items to the value of Rs. 488,000.00 among 130 school students at Dadagamuwa Junior Vidyalaya in Veyangoda got underway on 24 January 2023 through the coordination of the 6 Field Sri Lanka Artillery troops of the 141 Infantry Brigade under the 14 Infantry Division of the Security Force HQ-West.

A group of sponsors at the request of the 141 Infantry Brigade and the 6 Field Sri Lanka Artillery provided those educational incentives considering the poor financial status of those students. This community project has been organized under the guidance of the General Officer Commanding of the 14 Infantry Division, Major General Roshan Jayamanna and close supervision of the Commander, the 141 Infantry Brigade, Brigadier Bandula Kariyawasam with the blessings of the Commander of Security Forces-West, Major General Deepal Pussella.

The brief distribution ceremony was attended by Major General Rohan Jayamanna as the Chief Guest with Commander of the 141 Infantry Brigade, state officials of the Educational Zone, the Principal, students, teachers and representative donors.
