Ten top G.C.E. A/L students who secured university admission also received laptops. • Financial Commitment: Rs. 9 Mn was allocated for the initiative this year. PickMe has invested over Rs. 29 Mn in 'Nena Pahana' since its inception in 2018, benefiting over 4,800 students in total. • Eligibility & Scope: Support is tied to driver excellence (Gold/Platinum tiers in Loyalty Ranking) and academic achievement (e.g., Grade 5 Scholarship, O/L 9 A's, university admission). • Wider Support: This is part of a comprehensive program for driver-partners, which also facilitates a Rs. 3 Mn personal accident insurance cover (critical illness, hospitalisation, etc.) in partnership with Co-Operative Insurance Company PLC.
