Technology vital for development - Minister
Dinesh De Alwis
Sri Lanka has missed several technological waves which have flown
across the globe since country�s independence. There were technological
revolutions such as Electronic, ICT and Bio Technological revolution.
But unfortunately within last six decades Sri Lanka couldn�t adopt to
those technological waves said Technology and Research Minister Prof.
Tissa Vitarana. Nanotechnology waves are now spreading across the world.
Sri Lanka shouldn�t miss this opportunity. We should walk with these
technologies to overcome the technological challenges� he said.
Asian countries like India, South Korea, Thaliland and Singapore have
won those revolutions. Without technological improvements Sri Lanka
couldn�t achieve economic development, said Vitarana opening a Vidatha
Resources Centre at Thalawa, Anuradhapura. |
