I am, Founder of the "Nalanda Keerthi Sri Award Festival". As the media Secretary of the Nalanda College Old Scouts' Association (2003--2004), I was proposed to the committee about my new project "Nalanda Keerthi Sri Award Festival" and organized the first "Nalanda Keerthi Sri Award Festival" as a chief organizer on the 27th September 2003 (A pioneer project by Nalanda College Old Scouts' Association).

The "Nalanda Keerthi" Sri is an award aimed at felicitating and recognizing alumni of Nalanda College Colombo who have excelled in their respective field of expertise or profession and thereby contribute to the legacy of Nalanda College, Colombo, Sri Lanka and enhancing the morale of its students.
