It was the renowned Sinhala Scholar, Poet and Writer Munidasa Kumaratunga who once said that a nation that does not invent and produce new things cannot prosper in this world.

To invent and produce new things, a nation should develop its talents and skills, individually as well as collectively. Modern economists call this developing knowledge capital and attribute the current global economic prosperity to its rapid advancement.

Having recognised its importance in the country’s march towards making Sri Lanka the Wonder of Asia, the ‘Mahinda Chinthana,’ the policy package of the Government, has laid down plans to convert Sri Lanka to a ‘knowledge hub,’ an aspiration to become a producer of world class knowledge, talents and skills so that Sri Lanka could disseminate the same to the rest of the world.
