Bitumix expands CSR scholarship programmes

Bitumix Private Limited, a leading company in the production and sale of bitumen and related products in Sri Lanka, has expanded its corporate social responsibility (CSR) by implementing the latest stage of the ‘Bitumix Sisu Senehasa’ scholarship programme to students from low-income families.

Under this programme, financial assistance is provided to selected students from the Anuradhapura District who excelled in their education. The students are benefitted through this programme to complete their school and university education.

The scholarship programme, a concept of Bitumix Managing Director Ashoka Siriwardena, was first launched in 2014 by providing financial assistance to six students. Over the past, hundreds of students have received assistance under this programme.

In addition to providing monthly allowances, Bitumix also provides students with school books and other school items annually.

Directing students who receive scholarships and do not secure high marks for Ordinary Level (O/L) and Advanced Level (A/L) Examinations towards vocational education and supporting them to arm themselves with the necessary technical and vocational qualifications is another part of the ‘Sisu Senehasa’ Scholarship programme. In addition to the ‘Sisu Senehasa’ scholarship programme, Bitumix provides school books and other school items to the children of their staff members.
