He added that incentives such as foreign tours, advanced leadership training, periodic uniform provision, and improved camp infrastructure are being considered, with budgetary allocations arranged.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, thank you for the question. It is an important one, and there was a serious issue earlier. We now provide free uniforms to those enrolled in courses as officers, and supply the necessary training equipment as an incentive. For those not in active service, we have proposed a maximum camp allowance of Rs. 1,000. That too has been recommended as an incentive. We also arrange foreign tours as encouragement, and consider providing advanced training for better leadership. Improving camp infrastructure will enhance the quality of training. We are also looking at issuing uniforms periodically, and have arranged budgetary allocations for these.
