Swarnavahini, one of Sri Lanka’s leading entertainment and news channels and part of the EAP Broadcasting Company earned top honours at the Raigam Tele’es 2016. 

Swarnavahini and programs broadcast on the channel, walked away with a total of 17 top awards at the recently held ceremony. Of the 17, four of the top accolades went to Swarnavahini as a channel and 11 to the teledrama, ‘Daskon’. The channel was adjudged the most prestigious Tele-Drama Channel of the Year and most prestigious Channel of the Year. 

The awards were attributable to the Swarnavahini team’s immaculate planning in selecting programs that would appeal to its viewers. The teams behind the ‘Daskon’ tele-drama, ‘8ta Kiyanna’ and Tokyo Cement School Quiz – Season 2 shared in the groundbreaking success of the channel.
