SLT broadband package for Govt employees

Sri Lanka Telecom (SLT) unveiled the 'Abhimaana' broadband package designed exclusively for government sector employees and pensioners.

A spokesman for SLT said government sector employees are the lifeblood of the nation and that their tireless contribution was powering Sri Lanka's march towards prosperity and progress.

Government sector employees are the 'abhimaana'; pride of the nation. The package is denoted by a 'nil manel' or blue lotus, the national flower of Sri Lanka.

At the core of the flower is the blossoming new era of peace and prosperity that Sri Lanka is experiencing currently, while the government sector employees are like the petals, which protect and enable the flower to blossom and grow.

SLT Group chairman, Nimal Welgama said, "In keeping with the aim of the Mahinda Chinthana of bringing back glory to Sri Lanka as a centre which disseminates knowledge, SLT has devised this broadband package exclusively for government employees and pensioners. Sri Lanka can become a knowledge hub and the Abhimaana package is a giant step ahead for employees of the government sector to enhance IT literacy and to make 100 percent IT literacy a reality in the public sector, which employs thousands of employees across the country."

"SLT partners the growth of the nation and we are hopeful this package serves as a sincere mark of our respect to the valuable contribution made by public sector employees," he said.

In keeping with the Mahinda Chinthana in developing ICT literacy in the country, the Government launched many initiatives to transform this vision intro reality.

As the largest telecommunications provider, SLT is playing a key role in supporting the government's vision by fostering innovation and driving IT literacy.
