University of Kelaniya is one of best and oldest university in Sri Lanka with proud history. The university is consisting many facilities with good quality.

The University of Kelaniya has pioneered a number of new developments in higher education. It was one of the...

We understood that since pen was a ballpoint pen, it needed some pressure to the ballpoint. Then we used an...
