View(s):HUTCH, as part of the ongoing Future Connect Programme in collaboration with the University of Sri Jayewardenepura (USJP), hosted a group of undergraduate students for a comprehensive industry visit to its Engineering Complex (Data Centre) in Walpola, Ragama recently.
During the visit, undergraduates from the Faculty of Computing, USJP were given hands-on exposure to the core technical infrastructure of a leading telecom provider. They explored critical operational areas including towers, equipment and grounding systems, Data Centre environmental control and access control and the functions of the Network Operations Centre, the company said in a media release.

Speaking on behalf of HUTCH, Mangala Bandara, General Manager – Corporate Affairs, stated, “At HUTCH, we are committed to empowering the next generation of tech professionals by providing meaningful exposure and hands-on experience. This programme offered more than just a site visit; it gave students the opportunity to see first-hand how skilled engineering teams manage and maintain real-world telecom infrastructure.”
Dr. D. G. N. D. Jayarathna, Head / Department of Scientific Computing, Faculty of Computing, USJ, added, “We appreciate HUTCH’s consistent efforts in supporting academia through initiatives like Future Connect.
