Young Business Economists shine at J'pura Employability Skills Awards 2025

We are delighted to share that our students and flagship student initiative, EconInsight, earned top recognition at the J’PURA Employability Skills Awards 2025, bringing pride to the Department of Business Economics.

We are proud to announce that Pawanya Balasooriya, a final-year undergraduate of the Department of Business Economics, has been awarded the Best Employability Skills Achiever (BESA) Award for the Faculty of Management Studies and Commerce.

The BESA Award recognises the best of the best at the FMSC, celebrating those who excel across academics, extra-curricular activities, and leadership. Pawanya’s versatility and outstanding all-round performance have earned her this prestigious recognition. We warmly congratulate her on this incredible achievement.

Our very own Anujini Perera, a final-year undergraduate, was placed Second Runner-Up for the same prestigious BESA Award. We extend our warmest congratulations to her on this well-deserved achievement.

Adding to this year’s success, EconInsight 2025, the annual outreach initiative of the Business Economics Students’ Association, was awarded Second Runner-Up for Best CSR Project. This recognition attests to the project’s meaningful contribution and continued impact in supporting Advanced Level Economics education across Sri Lanka.

We congratulate all the winners and thank them for bringing honour to the Department.
