Badminton has been a significant part of my life for over ten years, shaping me into the athlete I am today. Representing Sri Lanka on the international stage has been an incredible journey, from competing in the Under-15 and Under-19 World Championships to winning a silver medal at the South Asian Games. Each tournament has taught me invaluable lessons about perseverance, discipline, and the drive to constantly improve.
As a national player, I continue to challenge myself, striving for excellence in every competition. Since joining SLIIT, I have had the privilege of contributing to the university’s badminton team, sharing my experience, and competing in various tournaments.

Badminton has been a huge part of my life since I started playing, and it has shaped me both as an athlete and as a person. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities I’ve had to compete on national and international stages, and I’ve been fortunate to represent Sri Lanka in various prestigious tournaments. Achieving success in the 2019 World Junior Championships and being part of the team that earned second place in the 13th South Asian Games were huge milestones for me. Being a part of the SLIIT Badminton Team has been an incredible experience, and I look forward to continuing to push myself to new heights in both my academic and athletic endeavors.

Hello everyone, I’m Disara Abeywickrama from the Faculty of Humanities and Sciences. I began my degree program at SLIIT in 2019, right after my A/Ls, and I can confidently say this was the ideal place to begin my journey. The recognition I’ve received today isn’t 
just for academic performance—SLIIT provided me with numerous opportunities to grow beyond the classroom. I was a proud member of the SLIIT Debating Team, the Rotaract Club Editorial Team, the Leo Club, and the English Literary Association. These experiences shaped my personality and prepared me for the corporate world. The confidence I carry today is largely thanks to what SLIIT gave me. I’m proud to be a SLIIT graduate and I highly recommend it as the perfect place to start your future and achieve your goals.
