“Jathika Saviya” Programme<br />
Under this programme, initiatives were taken to provide<br />
financial assistance expeditiously to construct infrastructure<br />
facilities <strong>and</strong> resettlement <strong>of</strong> people in the areas liberated from<br />
the terrorists in the North <strong>and</strong> East <strong>and</strong> adjoining areas such as<br />
Puttlam <strong>and</strong> Anuradhapura districts which were under threat<br />
from the terror activities. Programs were implemented to<br />
rehabilitate <strong>and</strong> reconstruct access roads, irrigation network,<br />
housing <strong>and</strong> electricity. Further projects were designed to<br />
resettle the displaced persons in their hometowns <strong>and</strong> assure<br />
livelihood support for these people. Special emphasis was<br />
placed on fishery harbour development, reconstruction <strong>of</strong><br />
irrigation schemes <strong>and</strong> agricultural roads which directly<br />
contributed to agriculture production.<br />
A large number <strong>of</strong> barren l<strong>and</strong>s were brought under<br />
cultivation to raise production <strong>of</strong> paddy, maize, vegetables,<br />
fruits, cashew, chilies <strong>and</strong> other cash crops. The farmers<br />
were provided with capital, technology, agricultural<br />
equipment, <strong>and</strong> fertilizer needed in this regard. Further,<br />
the Government provided machinery <strong>and</strong> equipment used<br />
for road construction <strong>and</strong> farm l<strong>and</strong> preparation such as<br />
hydraulic excavators, drum trucks, wheel loaders, motor<br />
graders, bacco loaders <strong>and</strong> bowsers.<br />
