New Logo with effect from March-2022

The new logo depicts the bravery of all Sri Lankans.

LOGO: 

Our logo recalls the Sri Lankan flag. 

• The Lion symbolizes the bravery of the Sinhalese.
• The four bo leaves in the corners represent the four concepts of Buddhism (Karuna, Mudita, Upeksha, and Metta).
• The two stripes represent the Sri Lankan Tamils and Muslims respectively.
• The border of the flag represents the unity of the nation.
