Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Please grant one minute.
¶ 02 Caught in war’s grip, innocent civilians still cannot secure livelihoods and suffer social, economic and psychological impacts. Therefore, through the Ministry, with MPs’ assistance, we will implement programmes. Inflation, poverty, and displacement rates are high; thus, we will create village-level employment and cottage industries via the relevant Ministries. Based on local resources, new cottage industries should be established. I request the Universities of Jaffna and Vavuniya to promptly submit project proposals to the Government. Once received, I will strive to implement them with Budget funds to train rural people and secure stable incomes. I conclude.
