Hon. Ambika Samivel raised a supplementary question on training centres in Badulla, citing inadequate meal and facility allocations for students attending courses. She said the newly started course at the Bandarawela Neluwa Centre had only Rs. 300 per student allocated for meals, while some centres had no allocation, causing students to bear costs and leading to the course stalling. She asked whether funds could be allocated this year or next year to continue such courses with proper facilities.

¶ 01 Mr. Deputy Speaker, a Supplementary Question on the training centres: In Badulla, for students attending these courses, there are issues with allocations for facilities, especially meals. I learned that at the newly started course at the Bandarawela, Neluwa Centre, only Rs. 300 is allocated per student for meals, and sometimes no allocation is made at other places, forcing students to bear costs. Due to inadequate allocations, that course stalled. Can funds be allocated this year or next to continue such courses with proper facilities?
