The launch of the Mahinda Prabhawa book, which explores the history of Galle Mahinda College, will take place on April 1 at 10:00 AM at the Olcott Hall.
The book has been authored by four friends—Engineer Mahinda Jayasinghe, Anura Wattage, Dr. Sujeewa Wijewikrama, and Damith Pathirana—who studied in the 12-F class of Mahinda College in 1980.
Mahinda College is now marking its 134th anniversary. “We compiled this book covering the entire history of the college, even referring to the school logbook,” said Mahinda Jayasinghe, one of the authors, in a statement to News Wave.
For this event, invitations have been extended to eleven former principals of the college, as well as to close relatives of five deceased principals, according to Mahinda Jayasinghe.
