Forty five students were selected for awards from eighteen districts this year for performing their best both at the G.C.E.(O/L) exam and the Dhamma school final exam. Although 60 awards were to be awarded to students selected with the assistance of the Department of Examinations only 45 became eligible from eighteen districts. They were awarded at a ceremony held on the 16th of June 2012 at the DVF Head office at Sarana Road, Bauddhaloka Mawatha, Colombo 07. The Minister of Education Mr.Bandula Gunawardhana participated as the Chief Guest. This is the sixth consecutive year of rewarding the best performers, envisaging to give an impetus to excell in both secular and religious education modeled on the vision of the late prelate Most.Ven.Aggamaha Pandita Madihe Pannasiha Maha Nayaka Thera.
Speaking at this occasion the Minister of Education appreciated this aim of the Dharmavijaya Foundation to encourage the youth of the nation to achieve a balanced development of knowledge. He had been instrumental in getting a circular issued to schools where Buddhist children are a majority to have short chanting of pirith to involve blessings before they commence school work. Children are also encouraged to engage in Buddhist cultural activities, and he emphaiszed the need to have active Buddhist societies in schools. He made a request to the Dharmavijaya Foundation to consider providing the students preparing for competitive examinations with the facility of tution, where the need exists, which he said would be a service to the nation. The minister in his personal capacity too has given scholarship to fifteen student.
President of the DVF Deshabandu Olcott Gunasekera speaking at the occasion said that the identity of the Sinhalese needs to be protected in the existing situation where it is under threat. With a view to strengthening the development efforts of the country, Dharmavijaya Foundation aims at achieving a four-fold development, i.e. in moral, economic, health and educational aspects and on the basis of the five precepts to be observed by the lay Buddhists. Dharmavijaya Foundation with its pre-school development programmes endeavours at initial level of education to work towards this aim, as well with a multi pronged programme to encourage a healthy pattern of food consumption.
The best performers rewarded were from districts including Ampara, Vavuniya, Trincomalee, Badulla, Moneragala and Nuwaraeliya. They were encouraged to speak at this occasion. Madhubashini Kumarasinghe from D.S.Senanayaka Central College in Ampara expressing her views said that she is aware of the responsibility of the youth who are to be future leaders of the country. Thisara Hettiarachchi from Thakshila Vidyalaya in Horana, Kalutara district said that they should neither misuse the knowledge acquired nor be good hearted fools.
