In 1956, following the policy of promoting national languages and culture, it was decided to establish two new universities by conferring university status on the Vidyodaya and Vidyalankara Pirivenas. Accordingly, the Vidyodaya University and Vidyalankara University Act No. 45 of 1958 established the universities at the Vidyodyaya Pirivena at Maligakanda and the Vidyalankara Pirivena at Kelaniya. Vidyodaya was thus reconstituted as the Vidyodaya University of Ceylon.
Professor in Business Economics Sampath Amaratunge serves as the incumbent Vice Chancellor of the university.
