I am privileged and proud to assume duties as the 39th Commandant of the esteemed Naval and Maritime Academy (NMA), the highest seat of learning in the Sri Lanka Navy and so rejoiced to pen my first message. Over a period of more than five decades, NMA has earned a prestige of bestowing high-quality Officers and Sailors for the Sri Lanka Navy. For the last fifty-seven years, it has been grooming cadets and sailors to perform their onerous duties for the Nation’s defence with a pronounced sense of responsibility and honour.

The NMA training the naval personnel, a spirit that lasts longer than life. The personnel produced by this esteemed institution have proved their duty to the motherland even with the utmost ‘Supreme Sacrifice’ to attain an ultimatum, the nation’s peace. The hallowed portals of this academy even nurtured my career when I joined the navy as a fervid youth.

This topmost naval academy in Sri Lanka conducts training for all levels, from basic sailor courses to officer-long specialization courses. Present facilities and curriculum are fully fledged to cater to all the needs and challenges of the Sri Lanka Navy as its curriculum have been continually appraised and updated based on the requirement of the future navy. Presently, the NMA conducts courses that lead to confer post-graduate diplomas, Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, and affiliations through distinctive universities. It also conducts courses to provide vocational opportunities to those who are expecting retirement, to start a post-retirement career with world-recognized certificates. In addition, the NMA has been awarded SLS ISO 9001:2015 for its excellence.

Finally, I consider it a great honour to be appointed to this prestigious institute’s helm.

“It can be considered a great honor to be appointed as the Training Captain at the Naval and Maritime Academy (NMA) Trincomalee. NMA is the premier training establishment of the Sri Lanka Navy and is reputed for producing officers and sailors of the highest standard. They serve as the first line of defence of the nation.”

In accordance with the modern aspirations, the most important aspect of any organization is its human resources. Because, the man behind the advanced weapon or the latest technology must be accurately perfect. Therefore, all naval officers and sailors must receive proper training from the academy to fulfill their responsibilities efficiently and effectively in par with  the navy’s mission and objectives. The NMA is well recognized for its exceptional training capabilities and is equipped to provide training of the highest caliber, whether it is for military personnel or higher education. The academy not only trains our officers and sailors, but also accommodates trainees from sister forces, Sri Lanka Police, and friendly foreign navies and they keenly accept it since the superior quality of training they would receive.

The Academy’s highly qualified faculty members and staff frequently engage with trainees, evaluate their performances, and conduct routine reviews of course materials to meet the Navy’s needs. They are instrumental in transforming officer and sailor trainees into highly skilled professionals. The academy’s distinctive learning environment and healthy atmosphere encourage trainees to advance their careers by keeping them mentally sharp, physically strong, and in top physical condition.
