<h3><a id="Saukyadana Unit" name="Saukyadana Unit"><strong>Saukyadana Unit</strong></a></h3>

<p>The history of Saukyadana runs back for 5 decades. On the &ldquo;Median Poya&rdquo; day of March, 1959 a young physician Dr. Vajiranath Lakshman De Silva and his group climbed Adam&#39;s peak (Sri Pada) across Ratnapura trail. The young driving force of their hectic journey was their strong will power. They saw elders suffering from hunger, fever and illnesses, along the way and they were kind enough to offer the medicine they carried with them to the aid of them. Based on this incident a volunteer organization named Saukyadana was formed under the guidance of Dr. Vajiranath Lakshman De Silva.</p>

<p>So to carry on this noble service the Saukyadana Unit of Ananda College was formed in 1966. It is still a leading unit which functions hard in hard with every school event.The reason for this special attention towards the Saukyadana unit is that it functions throughout the school on a daily basis. The Saukyadana unit even provides First-Aid care to students during the assembling hours. It is a unit which maintains the pride of Mother Ananda through hard work and dedication within the school and even outside.</p>

<p>Objectives:</p>

<ol>
	<li>Provide the medical treatments to school students during the school hours.</li>
	<li>Serve the helpless devotes freely during the Sri Pada devotion season.</li>
	<li>Implement programs to wipe out the environment pollution in the society.</li>
	<li>Make aware the school community organizing the health workshops.</li>
	<li>Provide free medical facilities for the Sports Meets, Camps and other Public events.</li>
	<li>Provide the knowledge and ideals for the well beings of the healthy life.</li>
	<li>Prevent the young generations from the Drugs, Addiction and Smoking.</li>
	<li>Not expect the benefits only expect the vast Self-satisfaction.&nbsp;</li>
