Societies of Faculties

There are several types of societies and clubs are held by the faculty wise. The main vision of these are to improve the skills and competencies of the university students during their academic free times.

* Societies in Agriculture Faculty
o Buddhist Brotherhood faculty of Agriculture

Student and staff community in Peradeniya University includes the number of different ethnic groups and religions. Harmony among these religious and ethnic groups is essential for the smooth functioning of the University. This has been well recognized even at the time of planning of the University. Our university has Buddhist temple, Hindu temple, Mosque and a Church. However, interest on religion among students was more evident in certain years than the other years, perhaps could be associated with social, political and economical reasons. University Buddhist society and the Buddhist society in Faculty of Agriculture were also active in certain years than others. By the time of 1987, Buddhist Society in Faculty of Agriculture was almost dormant, and no significant activities was organized. In 1990, university was re-opened after a long vacation and administrators paid more attention to form religious societies. At this point, students also felt the need of religious society. In 1990, Buddhist society in Faculty of Agriculture was formed and registered under the name “Buddhist brotherhood”. Renewal of registration as required by university administer was not continued due to many reasons. In 2005, an active group of students were involved and renewed the registration and the society became active again at the Faculty and the University level.
