He pointed out that comprehensive national programmes should be implemented further for this purpose. Expressing on this occasion his appreciation of the project proposed to be implemented by the Royal College Sinhala Literary Unit under the e-Sri Lanka initiative with the objective of popularising the use of the Sinhala language on the internet principal Upali Gunasekera pointed out that the Information and Communication Technology Agency of Sri Lanka (ICTA) had demonstrated its strong commitment by providing the technical support for achieving the Unit's objective.

The Royal College Sinhala Language and Literary Unit undertakes the national task of empowering the present generation of students with Information Technology and journalistic and Sinhala language skills.
This falls well in line with the overall spectrum of activities of Royal College aimed at providing a wide range of services to its students through information technology. These activities include those of the Student Information Centre (www.inforoyal.com) which enriches the inter-relationship among students, parents and the staff. LE ROYALE (www.leroyale.tv), the official You Tube channel of Royal College distributes various video clips of all important events of the college. In addition it conducts live web-casts of sport events and other activities. With this background in information technology, Royal College collaborates with ICTA in the effort to promote ICT in all schools.
