The Hon. T.K. Jayasundara
Hon. T.K. Jayasundara asked the Deputy Minister for details on the “Yativara Mapiya Niwahana” programme, which he said had been introduced to address challenges affecting the Buddhist Order, including monks disrobing. He requested information on its implementation, the number of beneficiaries to be supported, and the procedures involved.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my second supplementary is this.
¶ 02 Hon. Deputy Minister, a burning issue in your Ministry is being discussed now. There have been challenges to the advancement of our Buddhist Order—such as monks leaving the robe. I saw in a media discussion that you have introduced a new programme called “Yativara Mapiya Niwahana.” We need details: how will it be implemented, how many will be supported, and what is the process?
