History
[edit]Addalaichenai Central College or Addalaichenai Madya Maha Vidyalaya (National School) is located in Addalaichenai, Ampara District of Sri Lanka.
This school was founded on January 7, 1912, as the first Government school on the east coast of the island under the scheme of establishing government schools throughout the island. At the beginning, the school functioned in a 20-foot × 40-foot hut thatched with Acadians with a headmaster, C.G. Vairamuththu, and an assistant teacher. Students from religions such as Muslims, Hindus, and Christians were studied there.
Its name was changed to "Sadhana School" in 1942 and then to "Mahavidyalaya" as a result of late Pottuvil electorate MP Dr. M.A.M. Jalaldeen's effort. He provided the college with physical resources such as buildings, science laboratory, water tanks, etc.
The leader of Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) late minister, M.H.M. Asraff helped this school to establish new buildings and reconstruct previous building to celebrate the "National Meeladun Nabi Ceremony" held in the school for the first time in the eastern province in 1997. This school was upgraded to the status of a National School in the same year.
