Halpita to become model village under Gama Neguma program

The Government has earmarked to develop Halpita village in the Kesbewa Divisional Secretariat area under the Gama Neguma program this year.

This program is in accordance with the Government's initiative to have a fully developed village in each Divisional Secretariat Division. All infrastructure facilities such as pipe borne water and electricity will be provided to this village.

The Colombo District Secretariat in coordination with Kesbewa Divisional Secretariat and the Janasabhawa are implementing the project. A series of livelihood and moral development projects are expected to be launched in Halpita under the Gama Neguma.

According to the Planning Director of the Colombo District Secretariat, this village will become a model of development in the district. All problems of the public in the village would be addressed, he said.

The Colombo District Secretariat has sought three development proposals from GN divisions to be implemented under the Gama Neguma Program. The Nation Building Ministry has allocated Rs. 700,000 for each GN division in addition to the funds provided by the several line ministries.

The Colombo district which consists of over 500 GN divisions accounts for heavy volume of production and goods and services. The Government has given priority to villages in the district which still lacks proper infrastructure facilities. Rs. 248 million was allocated for the development of these villages last year.

The Gama Neguma program equally focused more emphasis on the livelihood and spiritual development in the district last year. Industrial in the district have also gained tremendous upsurge with the implementation of infrastructure development projects under this program.

The Government allocated Rs. 200 million for 541 road development projects in the district last year and all projects were completed and vested in the people. The rehabilitation of canals in the Kotte and Colombo Municipality received prominence.

The Government invested Rs. 16.90 million in the rehabilitation of irrigation canals in the district which gave tremendous boost for the flood control in the urban areas under the Gama Neguma.

Thousands of farmers in the Homagama, Kaduwela and Kesbewa DS Divisions where paddy farming is still thriving were benefited by the rehabilitation and dredging of irrigation canals in the respective areas.
