With the advancement of technology in the world, discoveries have emerged. This has resulted in many changes in the local and foreign education sectors. When it came to local education, it was clear that the indigenous qualities we inherited from the ancestors of the past should be preserved in an era of decaying age. In this case, particular attention was paid to the nationally highly valued Palm Leaf Manuscripts which anyone is not paying attention nowadays. The Palm Leaf Manuscripts contain a wealth of local knowledge related to various subject areas. The research investigates whether Sri Lankan university students were aware of Palm Leaf Manuscripts. It examined the students' understanding of why Palm Leaf Manuscripts are a locally valued heritage that should be preserved. The contribution of students from the Department of History and Archeology of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura was obtained for this purpose. Students were provided with a questionnaire to collect the data neededfor the research. Data analysis showed that they had a general understanding of Palm Leaf Manuscripts.

Traditional Indigenous Medicine is unique and is a landmark heritage in Sri Lankan territory. The traditional Indigenous Medicine system is a collection of several streams. Tumours (Gedi Wedakama), traditional orthopedic treatment system (Kedum Bindum Vedakama), Sarvanga (physicians) and Eye medicine (Aksi wedakama), etc., are some of the treatments in traditional indigenous system. In addition, they have treated animal diseases too. As mentioned in the chronicles of Sri Lanka, indigenous medical treatments were done even to the animals. King Buddhadasa had a very good knowledge of the medicine and according to the legends, he successfully mastered treatments for both people and animal. The chronicles mentioned that doctors have been appointed to treat animals (Mahavamsa, 37, 124-145). The indigenous medical treatments have evolved from thousand years and transmitted from generation to generation (Attanayaka, 2005, p. 39).
