Arrow Microsoft Sri Lanka's 'Gamata IT' launched in Sabaragamuwa

Microsoft Sri Lanka's groundbreaking "Gamata IT" initiative, a series of activities aimed at taking IT to the most remote rural communities of Sri Lanka, was launched recently in the Sabaragamuwa Province.

The event featured the corner stone of the Gamata IT programme - the revolutionary Sinhala Language Interface Pack for Microsoft Office 2007 and Windows Vista. Microsoft also donated genuine Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007 software to the Nivithigala Nenasala Centre, exposing the users to a genuine software experience.

The Gamata IT initiative also saw Microsoft Sri Lanka distributing free copies of the comprehensive Sinhala Glossary of IT Terms used in Windows Vista and Office 2007, along with Sinhala keyboard stickers to all the participants at the event held at Nivithigala Nenasala, according to a company statement.

Sanjeewa Kumaratunga Manager of the Nivithigala Nenasala said, "I am thankful for Microsoft Sri Lanka for selecting Nivithigala for the inaugural Gamata IT initiative. We promise to provide training classes and other ICT services as well act as a hub of local, national and global information resources whereby we become a catalyst for rural communities in poverty alleviation, social and economic development and peace building."

Microsoft Country Manager Sriyan de Silva Wijeyeratne, said this initiative is designed to provide access and training to communities who may have had little or no access to this technology.

U.A.G Hettiarachchi Principal of R/Yakdehiwatta Vidyalaya said his school was blessed to experience this new technology, the installation of the MultiPoint system which will immensely benefit the children. "They will be able to practice curriculum through the click of a mouse; granting exposure to digital learning," he said.
