Steps have been taken to implement a new programme for developing state lands in sixteen divisional secretary divisions of Matara District.
Further steps will be taken according to the project proposals obtained in Divisional Secretariat level. Four main proposals are to be implemented in this regard. Soil conservation in state lands, conservation of state reservations, silviculture in reservations, and issuing of grants for lands after being surveyed which have already been issued without surveying.
Further activities will be directed by the Commissioner of Lands, Southern Province.
