A half century of Sri Lankan prominence… fast fading? – By Aubrey Joachim Last evening the Sri Lanka Association of New South Wales (SLA) held its Annual Winter Ball at the plush Sofitel Wentworth in Sydney. It was also the formal celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Association. The premier black-tie Sri Lankan event in Sydney saw some 300 attendees including a number of past presidents and their ladies grace the occasion. The SLA was formed in 1973 when a small group of Sri Lankan professionals came up with the idea of forming a community of interest to foster and promote togetherness among Lankan diaspora in Australia. While Ceylonese had been migrating to Australia in reasonable numbers from the 1950’s – even greater numbers chose to do so in the 1960’s following the socio-political changes and language / ethnic upheavals that ostracized some groups that made up the rich ...

Sustainable Agricultural Practices in Sri Lanka: Paving the Way for a Resilient Future-by Kalani–eLanka Agriculture is a cornerstone of Sri Lanka’s economy, providing livelihoods for a significant portion of the population and contributing to the country’s overall development. Over the years, Sri Lanka has faced various challenges, including climate change, population growth, and limited natural resources, which have all impacted the agricultural sector. However, through innovative and sustainable practices, the island nation is striving to overcome these obstacles and create a more resilient and productive agricultural landscape. One of the key strategies for sustainable agriculture in Sri Lanka is the diversification of crops. Traditionally, rice has been the staple crop, but the over-reliance on this single crop has made the agriculture sector vulnerable to environmental changes and market fluctuations. To mitigate risks and improve food security, the government and agricultural institutions are encouraging farmers to cultivate a broader range of ...

Puppetry Museum (Dehiwala). – By Prashanth Sentilkumar Source : Prashanth Sentilkumar Linkedin Had the opportunity of visiting a small Puppetry Museum in Dehiwala, called the Traditonal Puppet Art Museum sometime ago. I had to wait for three weeks to visit the museum because due to less visitations, they were not doing the Puppet show (Rookada). Luckily there was an International School that had booked the place for its small once to see, so myself and 70 students and two teachers had the privilege to watch a beautiful show. The Museum is run by an elderly couple, very nice people who are finding it hard to maintain the museum due to the present situation, all the puppets are made in Ambalangoda and if anyone wants to see the puppetry show there needs to be a minimum of 20 people, if not they will only show a clip of a recording,the museum is ...
