Sampath Bank conducts seminar in Padaviya

Sampath Bank and Neth FM conducted a seminar for Year Five students in Padaviya on June 22. It was held at the Ali Wanguwa Maha Vidyalaya, a remote rural school in an underprivileged area. Over 450 students from 22 schools of the region were present.

This was one of the first Year Five scholarship seminars to be held at Padaviya.

"The students were appreciative of what they learnt and said that they will do well at the examination. They considered it a timely event that encouraged them to face the examination with confidence," a spokesman for the bank said.

It was revealed that during the past, only a few students were successful at the Year Five scholarship examination in the Kebithigollawa Educational Zone but this year the zone expects more winners due to the guidance received by the students at the seminar. The Bank conducted the Padaviya seminar as a CSR initiative under the theme 'Education for Development', a key pillar in the 5E model of Sampath Bank's Corporate Social Responsibility domain.
