The North Central Provincial Council (NCP) with the assistance of the Deputy Youth Affairs and Skills Development Minister Duminda Dissanayake has jointly embarked on a massive program to develop the Thirappane area. It is one of the most underdeveloped zones in the Anuradhapura district.

Under President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s patronage a drinking water supply project worth Rs 108m will be built for the nearly 2,000 families in Thirappane village. The construction work was recently inaugurated by North Central Province Chief Minister Berty Premalal Dissanayake. Roofing sheets valued at Rs 12.5 million, along with water pumps and spraying machines worth Rs 2.5 million were also distributed among low-income group 400 families.
