History and Milestones
History of the society
In the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Peradeniya, there is an enormous number of societies and clubs, from the beginning, which were covering different disciplines. But there were lack of platforms for supporting emerging entrepreneurs among the students in the faculty. Mr. Dilan Rathnayake, who was a second year student of the faculty at that time identified this gap. He thought that forming a new society for the students who are willing in business field will assist to fulfill that shortfall emerging in the faculty. As a result of that, a society was formed on 28th January 2019 with the participation of few students in the faculty. Out of few suggestions, finally the name “evoke” was chosen as the name of the society. Dr. C.K Benaragama was the first advisor and Mr. Dilan Rathnayake was the first president of this leading society.
