One of the main policies adopted by the Government is to admire people who are very much committed to their obligation of serving the nation, said Cultural Affairs and National Heritage Minister Pavithra Wanniarachchi.

The Minister addressing a press briefing at the Archaeology Department after launching the book The Decipher of Mirror Walls of Sigiriya by Dr. Benil Priyanka said the time is ripe to show the world our heritage.

"Our ministry is not that much known to publish books. Hence we should support people attempting to convey the grandeur of our nation to the world. That's why the Ministry is now instigating a process to gather money to invest in such valuable projects. We have to support projects which are essential to enhance the country's image within the global spotlight," she said.

"We need people who have the ability to read the history," the Minister said.

"I know there are a few and we have to get them to work. But without having the ability to help them in monetary means we cannot inspire them. That's why we are planning to create a fund."
