Attendees were involved in several educational activities which included a quiz, a demonstration of different types of eggs available in the market, on-site training on meat processing and poster discussions on various topics of interest. The selected group of attendees had the opportunity to learn practical tips and to get hands-on experience in preparing meatballs using chicken meat and natural ingredients. Furthermore, Prof. Indunil Pathirana joined an expert panel discussion chaired by Dr. Amal Harsha de Silva on “Lifestyle Modification and Maintaining Wellness” which was open to the public. The University of Ruhuna completed a successful community project with the financial support of WPSA-SL, both the Chief Organizer, Dr. Amal Harsha de Silva and the public appreciated the effort of team UoR.

    In a landmark moment for Sri Lankan cricket, the University of Ruhuna and the University of Jaffna made history with the inaugural 'Battle of Brotherhood' – the first-ever cricket match between two state universities in the country. The event took place from March 29th to March 30th, 2024, at the University of Ruhuna, captivating the nation and ushering in a new era of sporting excellence and camaraderie.

    The Battle of Brotherhood was not merely a cricket match; it was a symbol of unity, friendship, and reconciliation between the North and the South of Sri Lanka. Organized by the Social Reconciliation Center (SRC) at the University of Ruhuna, in collaboration with the University of Jaffna, this initiative aimed to foster connectivity and collaboration between university communities while promoting social harmony and mutual understanding.

    The significance of this event could not be overstated. In a country where cricket holds a special place in the hearts of its people, the Battle of Brotherhood represented a historic milestone in the evolution of the sport. By bringing together students and academic staff members from different regions and backgrounds, this initiative served as a beacon of hope for a more harmonious and united Sri Lanka.

    We are proud to announce that the Battle of Brotherhood received generous sponsorship from the High Commission of India, Colombo, Sri Lanka, and the Lyca Gnanam Foundation. Their support was instrumental in making this event a reality, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude to them for their commitment to promoting unity and friendship through sport.

    As we reflect on this momentous occasion, let us remember the spirit of brotherhood and camaraderie that defined the Battle of Brotherhood. Let us celebrate the unity, friendship, and reconciliation that this historic event represented.

    The Battle of Brotherhood was not just a cricket match; it was a testament to the power of sport to transcend boundaries and bring people together. We celebrated this historic event and the values of unity, friendship, and reconciliation that it represented.

    In the 40-overs match, the University of Ruhuna team emerged as the champions, adding another layer of glory to this memorable event.
