Mr. B. Somasiri.

Balangoda damahana  public school is situated in Damahana gramaseva division, Balangoda electorate devision of Ratnapura district. This school  was established by Venerable revenant Wimalawansa of Kirimatitenna in 1950. It was taken as government school on 4tth of September in 1950.
Firstly, twenty five students entered to the school and Mr. D.A. Thennakoon worked as the principal with two assistant teachers. Since then, the school was being conducted by the several principals with a development. But recently the persons who worked as the principals developed the school and the environment through education.

Specially Mr.M.P. Abayasiri worked as an assistant teacher in the school and later became as the principal for 10 years. He up lifted the standard of school in education and environment rapidly.
Mr. Abesiri was retired in 2003. Then the present principal Mr. B. Somasiri assumed duty in this post. He acted for the rapid development of the school with the teacher staff. As a result of that the school was selected twice, as the first place in the national productivity awards at the provincial level. Again the school was selected and won the first place as the “best environment for education”, which was held by the Ministry of environmental in 2010.

When consider to Year 5 scholarship results, G.C.E. (O/L) results, and G.C.E.(A/L) results there is an special development than other schools in Balangoda educational Zone.
Hence in 2009 Balangoda Damahana maha Vidyalaya was awarded the second place at the national productivity level. Later in 2010, the school was awarded the first place in all Island at the National Productivity contest.
Likewise year by year there is a rapid development of the school.  Reference to this we see that the present principal Mr. B. Somasiri is very enthusiastic, courageous person. At every moment he acted to Damahana M.V. high top of Sri Lanka. There for the victory of 2010 is very successful and admirable incident to the school.   
We wish Balangoda Damahana Public school to get the strength and courageous to go further for better education in the future.

Balangoda Damahana Public school has applied for the National Productivity Awards competition in 2010 also. From this contest this school has won as the first place from Sabaragamuwa Province. We consider the victory as a great one. In 2009 also they have won the first place at the contest and the second place of all Ceylon at the National Awarding conference ceremony.

The examiners regards to this think that the present principal and the teacher staff, the students, parents and the well-wishers have devoted their full time to develop the school's situation bitterly in enthusiastically.
