Welcome address by Aasim Mukthar 

Education is indeed the bedrock for the future success of a youth, a country and a generation. It is an undeniable truth that a sound secondary and tertiary education would most certainly pave a path of greater success for the individual and society at large. This truth has been ingrained in citizens of Sri Lanka to whom education is considered of prime importance.

Education will take you to places, and this October, education invites you to BMICH, to give you the ‘passport to your future’ where Sri Lanka’s most focused higher education and career exhibition, Adyapana 2015, will be held for the 10th consecutive year on 2, 3, and 4 October at the BMICH, Colombo. The event has been renowned as a focused and education oriented exhibition, patronised by keen students who have clear intentions on furthering their education in Sri Lanka or overseas.

The Colombo edition is the main event in the series of Adyapana Exhibitions. Adyapana Kalvi was concluded successfully in Jaffna in January 2015. 

Adyapana has been seen as a central platform by students to pursue their education. Over 12,000 students visited last year’s event during the course of three days. There were over 150 exhibition stalls displaying and informing the general public of various courses, student programs, higher education options and job opportunities. Despite the high level of competition and options available in the field of education, many students have continuously patronised the exhibition and have thereafter successfully pursued their visions, through Adyapana.

Adyapana is proud to announce the partnership with S. Thomas College, Old Boys Association. This joint venture will enhance the image of the exhibition to be a ‘must attend’ event for all.

The organisers of Adyapana, Lanka Exhibition and Conference Services, will also be using their good office in the Maldives to promote this event among the students and encourage visitors from the Maldives.

The event which will be held immediately after the conclusion of the Advanced Level examinations has consistently drawn students who are looking for immediate opportunities to further their education.

Adyapana has through its years of existence built a reputation of comprising one of the highest student turnover rates, with a large percentage of those visiting the exhibition, making their future decisions from the options that have been provided at Adyapana.

The three-day education fair is set to feature specific pavilions for visiting universities and will include special sessions focused on students and their career decisions with the participation of a host of top professionals.

ICBT Campus, Northshore College has come forward as the Gold Sponsors. Official Banker is Seylan Bank.

The event will also comprise of many other attractions that will be focused on the growing student population in the country and provide the visitors with many value additions during the three days.
