Two India-funded school buildings in the Jaffna district were inaugurated by Indian officials on Monday.
The buildings in Navatkuli Mahavidyalayam and Drieberg College were opened by the Deputy High Commissioner of India for Sri Lanka Shilpak Ambule and the governor of the Northern Province Suren Raghavan.
They were part of a 250 million rupee (LKR) project (approximately $1.4 million USD) by the Indian government to construct new buildings in 27 schools in the Northern Province.
Including those at Navatkuli and Drieberg College, ten buildings have so far been completed and inaugurated.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
