[IMG]http://www.sundaytimes.lk/070715/images/ft4-1.jpg[/IMG] Picture shows Minister Tissa Vitharana presenting the Gold Award to the CEO’s of Kelani Cables Ltd and ACL Cables Ltd, joint winners of the Achiever of Industrial Excellence in the National level extra large Category in the presence of the Chairman of the National Chamber of Industries A.K. Ratnarajah. Among the 2,400 scientists at NASA, 263 scientists are Sri Lankan nationals according to Minister of Science, Professor Tissa Vitharana. He said Sri Lanka is deprived of the services of these first-class scientists as they venture abroad to seek better opportunities. The minister made these comments when he participated as the chief guest at the CNCI Achiever Awards ceremony held in Colombo last week where he also spoke on nano technology. Nanotechnology which is a minute energy source is to be introduced in Sri Lanka to improve the country’s industrial productivity with a government investment of Rs 5 billion in the next five years. A national Nano technology centre and a laboratory will be set up at a 50 acre site in Homagama where construction work will begin this year. It will be ready in three years, the minister said. He added that by introducing this technology Sri Lanka will be able to leap frog successfully meeting the future challenges in the modern world. Nanotechnology is a field of applied science focused on the design, synthesis, characterization and application of materials and devices on the nano-scale.
