New Delhi: Hindu College proudly celebrates the remarkable achievement of its alumna, Dr. Harini Amarasuriya, who has made history by becoming the 16th Prime Minister of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka and the third woman to hold this prestigious office. Dr. Harini’s journey from the classrooms of Hindu College to the highest office in her country is a moment of immense pride for her alma mater.
Reflecting on this extraordinary milestone, Hindu College’s principal, Prof. Anju Srivastava, shared, “Dr. Harini Amarasuriya was a student of the Sociology Department during her academic years at Hindu College from 1991 to 1994. We are incredibly proud of her success and her rise to such a significant leadership role.

Dr. Harini Amarasuriya is a shining example of how this experience can inspire and empower students to make a lasting impact on society and their nation.”
We are confident that Dr. Harini Amarasuriya’s leadership, vision, and unwavering commitment to public service will serve as a beacon of hope for Sri Lanka, guiding the nation toward greater progress and prosperity.
