We should enter the world of science and technology and  at the same time preserve our cherished cultural values, so said President Mahinda Rajapaksa while participating at the Nenasala centre Convention 2010 held at Temple Trees yesterday.
Speaking further on the occasion the President said that he was pleased with the success achieved through the Nensala project under which currently there were more than 600 Nenasala centres island-wide.  The ICT literacy which was around 5 per cent at the time the Nenasala project was launched  has now reached the 30 per cent mark.  “Thanks to these Nenasala centres people in distant rural villages are now in communication with the whole world. Now we are in an era in which the world is equipped with a deep knowledge about computer technology.  We should think more of the future and our children. Where would we be in ten years’ time? We should create for the future generation an environment where technology could be used for good governance and righteous social life.
