Under the leadership of President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, the “Clean Sri Lanka” programme is set to commence 34 new projects this year as part of a broader national effort to drive social, environmental, and ethical transformation. Project work is expected to begin before the end of April.
A one-day workshop was held on April 10 at the “Clean Sri Lanka” Secretariat in the Lotus Building at Temple Trees, led by Secretary to the President Dr. Nandika Sanath Kumanayake. The session focused on preparing project proposals aligned with Department of National Planning formats to expedite approval and implementation.
With Rs. 5 billion allocated from the 2025 national budget, the programme is a major government initiative aiming for cross-sectoral impact. Upon approval, detailed action plans will be developed, with priority projects fast-tracked for launch.
The workshop was attended by senior officials from more than a dozen ministries and agencies, including Public Administration, Environment, Education, Health, Urban Development, and Sri Lanka Police.
