4th Mega Project (2017) of Rajans Group of 94

4^th Mega Project (2017) of Rajans Group of 94 - Infrastructures for Technology Subject Stream

The outline of the fourth Mega Project of our group (group of 94) has been emerged. The Technology Stream was newly introduced by the Ministry of Education to the local Advanced Level examination as to face the ever evolving future demands. Unfortunately our alma mater lacks the facilities to go on with this subject stream. As requested by the principal, Group of 94 has decided to setup the infrastructure so that the basic requirement can be fulfilled.

*The letter sent to the Provincial Department of Education

Under this project we have decided to renovate the abandoned ex Year 11 building. There are four separate classrooms in this abandoned building. It has been decided to convert it to two (large) classroom building and hand it over to the college management.

A field study has been done in order to estimate the expanses and a BOQ has been prepared for the job.

Previously we had never renovated any abandoned building so it will be a challenge for us to complete this project. It will cost a lot when comparing with previous projects and have to take lot of attention to make it with standards. It’s time for all our members (of Rajans OBU Group of 94) to support this project and offer it to the new generation ..

C’mon Rajans .. Let’s begin it with confidence ..

Renovation of Band Room - Project 2016

Hello Brothers

It’s a year since we successfully completed our OBU Group’s last project. And now it’s the time for the next …

This year our executive committee studied carefully about many proposals and came up with a whole new idea! That is to renovate the Western Band Room, Donate uniform for the Eastern Band and to build an open mini arena for the Eastern band to practice.

Present Situation
The present situation of the Eastern Band Room is very sad. The wall plaster is damaged, the cupboards are corroded etc ..

Also the uniforms.. Present uniform sets are aged and damaged beyond repair.

The Estimate
After the on-sight inspection carried out together with MIA Mr Dammika under the guidance of our principal a rough estimate was prepared.

Cost of construction of mini arena – Rs 450 000.00
Cost of uniforms for the Band         - Rs 400 000.00
Cost of renovation of Band room    – Rs 50000.00
Total Cost                                   – Rs 900000.00

It’s time for us to stand tall and do something for the Alma Mater !

Renovation of Art Gallery (Project 2015)

Dear brothers of Rajans Group of 94

It’s about a year since we successfully renovated the Year 10/11 building of Dharmaraja college. Present principal Mr S.M.Keerthiratne has assigned a new task to our group by requesting to colour wash and renovate the Art Gallery of Dharmaraja College. It was donated by one of the outstanding old Rajans Mr Sunil Sirisena (Rtd chairman NSB and secretary – Ministry of Education) in 2010.

As an outstanding OBU group of our college we are capable of achieving this target with all the experience we had from Rs one million project of last year.

So far we have done the basic estimations and we need your generous support towards this as it is for our alma mater.

The renovation works continued to the 17th day on 2015-9-6. It was a huge task to restore this precious building into the pristine condition within a very short period. Our group members really work hard on this while everyone has done what they can. Just like the previous projects the support of our overseas members was outstanding.

Resurrection of Year 10-11 Building - Prject 2014

We (Rajans 94) have been held number of medical camps annually throughout the island for years. This year we have decided to do something directly beneficial to our Alma Mater as present principal Mr Keerthiratne asked us to renovate the floor of Year 10-11 three story building. At first instant it looked like pretty simple and economical but as we did an on site observation we realized that just renovating the floor is not adequate as the whole building was in terrible condition. Though the original idea was to renovate the floor we decided to colour wash the interior of the building in addition. The estimate was around Rs 600,000.00(which was raised to 1 million rupees later)

The request letter of the principal

Fund Raising
A fund raising campaign was started and we decided to keep it within our group (Rajans 94) As we achieved the first milestone in fund raising we commenced the construction work on 5th of September 2014. The first step was to chip off the top cement layer and re plaster it and make it a super cut shiny floor glittering with Titanium powder. When the floor was chipped off we could see the walls are severely damaged and there was no option than to re-plaster it.

The severely damaged floor and walls of the building

Extended Plan
As the renovation works commenced, the committee members discussed about the awful condition of the building and decided to make a complete renovation including the floor, walls, furniture, interior and exterior colour washing etc. This was a huge challenge as the final estimate was reached One million Rupees. Fortunately we received lot of financial contribution from our members living in the island as well as abroad. We also received contributions from other Rajans who were always with us as well as the Alma Mater

Not just the floor but the walls, interior and exterior of the building was renovated

Red letter day
The third day of the month of October we officially handed over the rehabilitated building of Year 10 and 11. There was a charm and simple function to celebrate this event at the collage which was attended and headed by the present principal along with staff, members of Rajans 94 and the students. Now the next generation can enjoy the comfort and bliss of what we have done for them and it will last for another few years which they will remember all of us …

It began ...

After almost 21 years the cement floor of the Year 10/11 building at Dharmaraja College got the caring attention, as our group (Rajans 94) commenced the renovation work on Friday 5th of September 2014. Hundreds of thousands of students walked on this floor for almost 21 years before it slowly got crumbled. Repairing a floor is not a very hard work but if that floor is of a classroom of a popular school it won't be an easy task. That's why we planned to commence it during a long weekend. We were able to evacuate this building and relocate the furniture. Then completed the cleaning of the floor. As we look at the empty floor we realize that the damage is far beyond our estimation. The walls are also damage severely. We could see through some of the holes. These are the photographs of the empty floor and the walls of the building.

As the floor of the building was chipped off we all realized that the plaster of the walls are also in very poor condition so there were some extra work. So the wall plaster was also removed upto about three feet. Now we will re-plaster the walls also.
