In 1922, the School management was changed from the Buddhist Theosophical Society to the Y.M.B.A. and Dr H.K.T Zilva became the new manager of Maliyadeva College

Also no college call Christ Church. Due to the ongoing second world war, the school buildings and land was taken over by the Army in 1942. Due to that all sports & activities are stopped in college. In 1960 Maliyadeva Scout Group registered in Sri Lanka Scout Association as 0173 with Mr. M.M.W.Mevaddana and Mr. Steven Perera. By 1965 the amount of senior scouts increased from 3 to 60 scouts.
