In December 2024, Vidullanka PLC marked an incredible milestone with the completion of the planting of 100,000 trees at its 9 hydro power plants across the island. This initiative has been a key project for the company’s CSR arm Vidu Saviya: Ratata Sevanak since it’s initiation in 2019.
This achievement reflects the dedication and unwavering efforts of our teams at the power plants, supported by our partners, from the Forest Department, Divisional Secretariats, Grama Niladhari officers, the Central Environmental Authority, the Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority. The project also involved the collaboration of the police, hospital staff, and passionate school children and teachers, and our neighbours.
As we celebrate this accomplishment, we remain focused on ensuring these trees continue to flourish and contribute to a healthier planet. With an impressive 95% survival rate, these trees are now thriving, fulfilling their purpose—offering shade, producing fruits for livelihoods, protecting riverbanks, and enhancing watershed management. This success is not just an endpoint but a foundation for even greater environmental impact!

The first of two of Vidullanka PLC’s projects under its US$12.85 million Engineering Procurement and Construction contract with the Guyana Energy Agency, the 0.7MW Moco Moco Mini Hydropower Plant, was inaugurated on the 13th of December 2024.

“Nine tenths of education is encouragement” - Anatole France
On the 30th of April 2024, the Vidullanka team based at the Dehiattakandiya Dendro Power Plant hosted a mathematics seminar for 350 students in the area who are sitting for the Ordinary Level examination in May this year. Our very own Biomass engineers dedicated their knowledge, time and effort to conduct the seminar. The team also compiled the model paper used for this session, which was distributed to other schools in Dehiattakandiya as additional prep material for the students’ upcoming examinations.
This seminar marked the end of a six month period of sessions conducted under our CSR initiative “Vidu Saviya: Daruwanta Diriyak”, where lessons were held twice a week for 80 O Level students from 3 schools in the area. This particular project has been carried out for the past three years as a means of supporting students in the face of an ongoing insufficiency of maths teachers at schools in the area. The team also aimed to motivate all the students to succeed and equip them with knowledge of the practical uses of the lessons being taught.
We wish all the students the best of luck with their exams!
