New Infrastructure... Sugunadhasa Athukorala Mr. Sugunadhasa Athukorala assumed duties as the principal in 1969. Under his guidance Nalanda enjoyed one of its distinguished eras. He added many laboratories, classrooms, libraries, a hostel and the Malalasekara Hall to the existing collection of infrastructure so that Nalanda could open its doors for many more students. Along with this extra facilities came a wave of success in all spheres of academic and sports. During the period an attempt was made to establish international relations and in the process foreign languages namely, Russian and French were taught. A student exchange program with Canada was also launched. Students and Teachers, who were fluent in Russian, went to Soviet Union to take part in the annual "Arctic" Holiday Camp many times. Both Mr. Athukorala and Mr. Wickramarathne are still very much close to Nalanda; their wisdom is well appreciated by the present administration.
