The US Embassy wrote \u201cPost nominates T.M.G. \u2018Chandrasekera\u2019 Deputy Director News and Current Affairs, Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation, for participation in subject project. Post confirms that this nomination has \u2018full country team approval.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Under the subheading \u201cSTART MEMO NOMINATING-JUSTIFICATION\u201d they wrote \u201cTMG Chandrasekera was introduced live programming via Rupavahini on the use and advantages of the Internet. As this was aired on national TV, the program reached the grassroots.
