The Ministry of Defence and Urban Development, teaming up with the Bank of Ceylon, awarded educational scholarships to 76 school children of military personnel on Friday.
The scholarships were awarded under the "Ranaviru Dudaru Scholarship Programme", which the Ministry of Defence said was a project aimed at ensuring "a bright future for the children whose parents had made the supreme sacrifices for the entire nation."
Last month, 28,000 children of the Sri Lankan military, almost entirely consisting of ethnic Sinhala personnel, received over 96 million rupees worth of books, laptops and other educational equipment, from the MoD.
