Amil Group of Company, to commemorate its 30 years’ service to the nation, embarked on a noble corporate social responsibility (CSR) activity.

Amil Group Chairman Walter Abeysundara unveiled the Kotha of the Chetiya, which he had made and donated to Samadhi Buddhist Centre in Ratmalana. The occasion was graced by President Maithripala Sirisena.

Walter Abeysundara’s grandson Aaditya Abeysundara, according to the directions of the Chief Prelate of the temple Ven Mapalagama Buddhasiri was offered to lead the proceedings of the occasion.

Amil Industries Directress Heshini Samarakoon, who organised the event, said she and her family has been allocating a fare sum of the company’s revenue for CSR activities for many years.

“Our company’s CSR activities are aimed at upgrading the standards in the society, religion and art. The significance of today’s event is the chairman’s preference to bring to the fore his grandson, little Aadiya with the Chief Prelate’s advice. The object of this gesture was to inspire future generation towards the value of engaging in noble causes as these,” she said.

Heshini Samarakoon is the daughter of the Consultant Specialist Sujatha Samarakoon who happens to be former Fisheries Minister and social worker S.D.S. Jayasinghe’s granddaughter.

Heshini added, “We come from a family that was dedicated to social service. My husband, the Managing Director of Amil Industries, too is of the same calibre. Thus, we will continue to indulge in CSR activities for the betterment of the society continuously in the years to come.”
