Sucharitha was the home of Ranasinghe Premadasa, former President of Sri Lanka. It was the headquarters of his Sri Sucharitha Movement.[http://www.dailymirror.lk/article/it-was-on-a-may-day-that-ltte-assassinated-president-ranasinghe-premadasa-28980.html It was on a May Day that LTTE assassinated President Ranasinghe Premadasa] Premadasa remained at Sucharitha even after being elected president, using President's House, Colombo only for official functions.
Premadasa hosted LTTE leaders at Sucharitha for peace talks in 1989.[http://pdfs.island.lk/defence/20130206_101.html Premadasa’s plan goes awry as JVP opens up new front War on terror revisited] Following his death, it has been turned into a social services center with the Sucharitha Hall and Sucharitha Library serving the public.
