Ishara JAYAWARDANE
Raigam is boldly going where no other private entity in Sri Lanka has
ventured when it hosts the 2011 Raigam Tele'es at Water's Edge on May
11. This will be the eighth Raigam Tele'es and is bigger and better than
the previous events.

"Within a short period of time the kingdom of Raigam rose very high
in the ladder of private business as private entity mainly due to the
support given by the television sector. Therefore the main purpose of
the Tele'es is to give back to the television sector. It is also an
image development exercise which is the commercial intention," said
Kingdom of Raigam Chairman and CEO Dr. Ravi Liyanage.
This Raigam Tele'es as before are covering teledramas and tele
related productions which have completed their telecast during 2011.
"The first ceremony was held in 2005. This time we have expanded our
horizons from teledramas to tele industry. The theme of this year's
Raigam Tele'es is to encompass full spectrum from ultra violet to infra
red, which means we are trying to cover the entire industry. Whatever
awards we can give, we are going to give," Liyanage stated.
Raigam started with 19 awards. Now it has gone up to 52. Liyanage
said that the power of teledrama has an influence on society's norms and
cultural values.

"We started our operations in 1997 as a very small company.
Television gave a great scale of support for us which helped us develop
over a short span of time. Now we want to give something back to
society. With vision the sky is the limit. We have an idea to make this
a national item.
All is impartial and transparent and a perfect judgment is
guaranteed. Right throughout Raigam Tele Awards the judgment has been
impartial and no allegations have been made against us," Liyanage said.
