The Tamil education carried out by the Development Association of Dambadeniya, made remarkable milestone with the current ethnic crises in Sri Lanka. This education program has given fruitful results for understand other communities and create a dialog. Most of the places, the Temple priest has taken initial step to conduct this program. There are about 28 centres, and 150 students receiving as their 2nd and 3rd language.
