If you are doing public service, you can do it through cooperative service
...........CA Harishchandra
Matara CA Harishchandra is a good cooperator. Thousands were spent to raise the co-operative movement, not for the sake of more success, nor for the sake of a name. Not for any other personal gain'' said P. who spent his retirement as a Deputy Commissioner of Cooperative Development who worked with Mr. Harishchandra half a century ago in the development of Matara Cooperatives. Mr. Wijeweera tells a similar story. "The person who was the manager of a cooperative shop society in Matara Wara Street took the money for ration goods for the society in the year 1949 for his personal use and now there is no way to give rice flour and sugar to the people of the area next week. At that time, 1200/- rupees (one thousand two hundred) were spent on the goods of a cooperative society.
After us, a few of us went and told Mr. Harishchandra, "There is no way that the manager spends the money of the cooperative and brings goods to the people. He is acting against the manager. Give us the money to buy the goods this week." It can be done through service, he said, "I will give you the money to buy the goods this time." Mr. S. Samarajeeva, the chairman of the village council, said that when the right person was given the place, it would naturally improve. Those who controlled the cooperative society ate it. Since Mr. Harishchandra controlled the Broadway cinema, there was an idea to buy the old Tower Hall building near the railway station for a cinema. After becoming the chairman of the cooperative society, he bought the old Towel building from Mr. LND Silva for the cooperative society by giving Rs.80,000/-. Mr. Samarajeeva was proud of the Matara Cooperative Society. Samarajeeva felt respect for Harishchandra. The cooperative union became very strong. On that day, it was decided to buy two lorries for the society. But, took the two lorries..
At that time, Mr. Harishchandra used to give about 50,000/- rupees to bring the necessary goods for the month. During the chairmanship of Mr. Matara Cooperative Society, Harishchandra took a promise not to buy any products for sale in the cooperative society. He said that people will say that he is the chairman of the cooperative society to sell my goods.

CA Harishchandra brought a cooperative hospital to Matara
Half a century ago, around 1949 and 1950, Western doctors had a certain monopoly. Although he was treated at the hospital during the day, he could not be treated at the hospital or privately after 5 pm. He taught at Matara St. Thomas Prince College. M . It was past 5 pm when Mr. Jayawardena's wife went to see the doctor at the hospital because she was sick to have a child. This doctor named Silva 'can't see the patient now. The patient refused to be examined saying that I have to go to Hambantota tomorrow. "So sir, the patient will die," said the doctor, who did not know what to do when Mr. Jayawardena said. "So the cockroach is there," he said.
.
...Currently Harishchandrayan and other elites were holding discussions to organize a festival to build a hostel for Matara Sujata Vidyalaya. Guru Jayawardena went straight to meet Harishchandra. At around six or seven in the evening, Harishchandrayan and his team came to St. Thomas Prince College and held the discussion. "What steps should be taken against the arbitrary action of these English doctors?" Young Harishchandra, who was always alert about the city of Matara at that time, questioned in the discussion. "The monopoly of English doctors must be broken," everyone said in unison. It was everyone's unanimous decision to build a cooperative hospital. It was decided to visit the existing cooperative hospitals in Sri Lanka the very next week. Three cars were prepared for the journey. Mr. Silva Iskole, Mr. Jayawardena Iskole, Co-operative Inspector Mr. Wijesiri, Mr. Thangalle Pati and several others joined the journey along with Harishchandra. The entire cost of the journey is from Harishchandra. Visiting the cooperative hospital in Mulai, Jaffna was the first step of that observation tour. They also carefully observed the hospital run by the Subasinghe comrades in Sandalanka, and the start of the cooperative hospital was confirmed. By this time, Harishchandrayan had become the talk of everyone in Matara city and had become an honest person with very good manners. He, a young leader, began to shine brightly like the star of Jupiter on the task championship. He did not seek leadership. Leadership came to find him.
Having chosen the location for the Cooperative Hospital, Hamaraya currently maintained the dormitory of Matara St. Themas Prince College in Maha Walavwe. Mahawalawa belonged to the last heirs of the Ilangakon dynasty. It is also said that no one traveled in front of Mahavalava after nightfall. U.S
