Seminar for Tamil diaspora
Social Services and Rehabilitation Minister Douglas Devananda has
invited Tamil professionals in the diaspora to participate in the
rehabilitation of the Northern Province.
A seminar will be held at the Jaffna University on January 12, 2010
for the Tamils of the diaspora to meet and formulate programs for
development.
Minister Devananda said the time has come for the talented Tamils to
return and help rebuild the Northern Province that has been badly
affected by a war.
He added: "Tamil aspirations need to be fulfilled at various levels.
It is not confined to politics alone."
Doctors, engineers and other professionals who left the country in
large numbers during the war have now the opportunity to return home in
peace and work for their well-being.
"The Tamil diaspora have much to contribute. We are opening the doors
for them to come in. They should not miss this opportunity," he said.
The seminar will provide an opportunity for the participants to
discuss their proposals that could pave the way for joining the
development program of the Ministry of Social Services and
Rehabilitation. Those who want to attend the seminar could contact the
Minister's Office on 94 212229824.
