MRS. JANAKI LIYANAGE
PRESIDENT OF ARMY SEVA VANITHA UNIT
Her motherly care often helps in resolving the grievances and concerns of immediate family members and relatives of soldiers during consultation sessions which were organized for those spouses. She took exceptional interest to uplift the well-being of the widows as well as family members of disabled Gajaba Regiment and Sri Lanka National Guard war heroes whose requirements are unique and varied. She firmly maintained multiple roles and responsibilities of a house wife by addressing binding commitment when the spouse was away on national duty. This novel approach as the President of the Army Seva Vanitha Unit and as the Chairperson of Gajaba Regiment and Sri Lanka National Guard Seva Vanitha Units has brought an amazing team spirit amongst all the ladies in Gajaba Regiment and Sri Lanka National Guard families.
The Gajaba Regiment and Sri Lanka National Guard Seva Vanitha Units have also been at the forefront of providing maximum possible support for completion of partly-built houses, awarding of scholarships, provision of financial grants, medical assistance, etc, during past couple of years. As a result, she is widely admired by many people for her charitable and community work. She looks forward to serving the spouses and their family members of all Army personnel with unfailing, commitment and dedication, having undertaken the reins of her new office.
