The newly constructed three storied building of Maliyadeva Balika Vidyalaya, Kurunegala was handed over to the students today (06) under the patronage of Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa.

Addressing the occasion, the Prime Minister stated that the government is taking all of its decisions to make a better future for the children. The necessary facilities should be provided to the children whilst appreciating their talents and encouraging them to move forward, he added.

With the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic, more and more children are using modern technology for their education, he went on, adding that technology can be used for both good and bad. Therefore, the children and their parents and teachers have the responsibility to use technology only for the right cause, the Prime Minister noted.
