Our Journey


J’pura Flames, the Official Media Grid of USJ has had an extraordinary journey since its inception in the year 2013. Upon the request of the sports council of USJ to promote the upcoming events in SLUG 2013, a team of ordinary USJ undergraduates but extraordinary in their spiritedness to promote the university got together to launch a website named “Japura Gindara”.

This team was none other than Nilendra Sarachchandra, Wathsala Karunathilaka, Harith Kosala, Rajindu Prabashwara, Punsara Jayatissa, Charitha Pahasarani, Charith Madushanka, Thivanka Perera, Anjula Jayathunga and Kaveen Muhandiramge. Shortly afterwards, the website was renamed as J’pura Flames as per the idea of Rajindu Prabashwara.

J’pura Flames was in the hearts of USJ undergraduates in no time. Members started joining in and the first executive board (Pride) was appointed to function under the guidance of several senior lecturers who were the academic advisors of J’pura Flames. They were Mr. Shantha Puhulwella, Dr. Rasika Perera, Ms. Vishwara Perera, Ms. Dilini Walisundara and Dr. Dilru Ratnaweera.

With dedication, Mr. Nilendra Sarachchandra (First President) and the Pride set a strong foundation to J’pura Flames. With the start of photography from just a mobile phone, official photographers took the function of photography to a whole new dimension never failing J’pura Flames to do its duty as a sports promoter. Promoting the university while inspiring the students to develop their skills has and will be the prime goal of J’pura Flames. By the beginning of 2015, the member base increased to more than a 150 members from all four faculties and the J’pura Flames page passed the “10,000 likes” goal post.

From there on, J’pura Flames has developed to cater to other functions besides photography. They are Article Writing, HR management, Graphic designing, IT and Marketing, Poetry and the year 2020 saw the introduction of Videography too. It is nothing but the dedication and sheer will of the Presidents’ and their Prides’ of each consecutive year that has taken the name of J’pura Flames to greater heights.
