Synonym

Starting from the Rangoon University Golden Jubilee in 1970, the term “Swel Daw Yeik” became a synonym for RIT and its predecessors.

Swel Daw Yeik Anyeint became a feature of the RIT gatherings such as Singapore Thingyan & SPZPs.

Swel Daw Yeik Sar Saung was published by Saya U Moe Aung & team to commemorate SPZP-2002, SPZP-2007, and SPZP-2010 in Singapore.

Swel Daw Yeik Magazine was published to commemorate SPZP-2012, Shwe YaDu and SPZP-2016 (all held at the Gyogone Campus).

Swel Daw Yeik Foundation (SDYF)

Before, during and after SPZP-2012, Saya U Moe Aung (Tekkatho Moe War) had informal discussions with U Ko Ko (Hset Hmu), U Myint Pe, U Wynn Htain Oo, and several other RIT Ah Nu Pyinnya Shins about forming Swel Daw Yeik Foundation to help alums and sayas.
