Students of the Welioya Ethawatunuwewa Vidyalaya in the Anuradhapura district were recently gifted with a IT lab and connected to the worldwide web by Citizens Development Business Finance PLC (CDB) as part of its flagship CSR project - 'CDB Pariganaka Piyasa'.

In consultation with the Ministry of Education, CDB dedicated this Rs. 1Mn state-of-the-art IT lab to the school's present and future generations.

The IT lab accommodates 12 students at a sitting. The LAN accessed and networked lab is fully equipped with HP branded computers, LCD monitors, printer, scanner, internet facilities and furniture.
