I’m happy to send this message on the occasion of inauguration of Nawaloka College of Higher Studies in Sri Lanka.
Swinburne University of Technology which is one of Australia’s popular education brands has established Swinburne College with Nawaloka Holdings in Sri Lanka. I’m delighted that the members of the Board of Nawaloka College of Higher Studies, the senior management and other staff have, committed their time and knowledge to make this project a success.
Nawaloka Holdings is one of leading conglomerates in Sri Lanka span across health care, Construction, Manufacturing, Trading, and aviation. Thus, I’m very excited about venturing into international education.
Nawaloka College of Higher Studies will endeavor to sustain Sri Lankan government’s vision to be an international hub of excellence for higher education in the not so distant future. It is my great pleasure to be an active contributor to country’s knowledge based economic growth.

Chairman, Nawaloka College of Higher Studies
Nawaloka Holdings is one of the leading conglomerates in Sri Lanka span across health care, Construction, Manufacturing, Trading, and aviation. The entrance of the group to the field of education marks a new chapter of high quality, affordable education in the country.
The mission of the college to deliver the highest quality education is paramount. Therefore, the Nawaloka College of Higher Studies has partnered with leading universities in Australia, America, Malaysia and UK. All the partner universities are global leaders in education, and the partnership enable these prestigious universities to be accessible to Sri Lankan students. Through these partnerships, students have the opportunity to commence their studies in Sri Lanka, and thereafter transfer to the country of their choice.
With the changes the world faced with Covid-19 and the transition to online education, Nawaloka College was able to be at the fore front of virtual education as well. We were able to adapt fast, ensuring that our students did not miss out on their studies. This led to developing an online student experience, with resources so that the students have the best experience, regardless of what goes on around them.
The management and staff of NCHS are committed to empowering Sri Lankan youth through the opportunities available, and the resilience and ability to adapt, and face any situation with success.
NCHS is dedicated to be an active part of the national vision to be an international hub of excellence for higher education as we strive towards the best, always.
