About NA SEVANA Community Development projeCt

First and foremost, I wish to touch upon the highly esteemed initiative of Hon Namal Rajapaksa, the youngest Member of the present Parliament. From his early childhood he associated with Gangaramaya Temple where he acquired significant spiritual discipline and a praiseworthy inclination towards social welfare activities.

When he expressed his intentions to launch a development project of vast proportions, for the benefit of the people in the Sooriyawewa Region in the Hambantota District, Chief Incumbent of the Gangaramaya Temple, Ven Galaboda Gnanissara Thero, ‘Podi Hamuduruwo’, decided to extend his unbridled support to the proposal.

Podi Hamuduruwo is highly reputed for his unparalleled social service initiatives. He has garnered vast experience and expertise by implementing prestigious projects in collaboration with USAID, various foreign Governments, global institutions and a vast array of local organizations.

Podi Hamuduruwo has inspired Sri Lanka’s most effective vocational training effort which has benefited thousands of youth by providing them with necessary skills to earn a satisfactory livelihood, through self-employment. He pioneered advanced language education systems that utilise sophisticated

teaching equipment. The extensive array of facilities he has set up for the wellbeing of the elderly and the disabled benefit a large number of individuals who have no other means of gaining support.

His capacity and readiness to respond to national disasters has been proven over and over again.When the Tsunami dealt its disastrous blow, Podi Hamuduruwo was prompt to act engaging in urgent relief work. In light of this, it will be quite evident to all, that the Na Sevana Community Development Project at Sooriyawewa launched under the joint Patronage of Hon Namal Rajapaksa, MP and Podi Hamuduruwo will be a singular success.

The ultimate mission of the Sooriyawewa Na Sevana Community Development Project is to establish an area of total development, where the people will achieve a high and noble standard of living.

The core concept of providing this satisfactory livelihood will inititally be ensured by model agricultural and dairy farms. Visitors, especially school children can observe the organizational and functional aspects of these model farms, and thus replicate them in their own regions.

Instructors who provide extensive services will form part of the staff of these model farms and provide

guidance to those who need it. All the agro farms at this development site will utilize organic fertilizer. Young people will be given vocational training in an extensive range of skills. Motor Mechanics and Electronics will be among the many vocations the recruits will be trained in. A state-of-the-art Vocational Training Centre will be a major segment of the project. While a livelihood is assured this way, an Indigenous Medical Centre will look after the health needs of the people. Osu Uyana, a garden of medicinal herbs will be established to yield both health and economic benefits. In association with this Medical Centre a series of rest cottages will be built. Patients and the aged can recuperate in these cottages, constructed on the banks of Sooriyawewa. Thus the community will receive both physical and spiritual healing, simultaneously. Furthermore a Meditation Centre will be established to take care of spiritual development of both local and foreign visitors.

A major cause of rural poverty is the lack of avenues for marketing the products of farmers. To counter this, an effective marketing network will be established. To eradicate post-harvest wastage and loss, a cold storage facility will be established.

An important section of the Development Project is the Community University. School dropouts who swell the ranks of the unemployed will be given

a comprehensive education at this University. Eventually, the whole complex will evolve into a much sought after tourist destination. The final outcome will be the creation of a self-sustaining settlement, inhabited by men, women and children, enjoying a highly satisfactory standard of living.

The sustainable development that will be represented by this project will eventually be replicated in various parts of the Island, contributing substantially towards national development.

We are happy to state that already many institutions and individuals have pledged their support towards this project at both local and international levels. We place this proposal before you with the hopes that you will be willing to be part of this worthy cause, as one of the greatest initiatives towards comprehensive national progress.

Please come on board and assist Sri Lanka to achieve prosperity today and tomorrow.May you all be well and happy.

The Na Sevana Community Development Project officially inaugurated on June 25, 2010 under the joint-patronage of Hon Namal Rajapaksa, MP and Ven Galaboda Gnanissara Thero, Chief Incumbent of Gangaramaya Temple, was initiated primarily for promoting social and economic wellbeing of the people in the Hambantota District.

Having successfully contributed to social and community development programmes since the early age of 16, Namal Rajapaksa was elected by the people of Hambantota as the youngest Parliamentarian of Sri Lanka. Namal Rajapaksa has triumphed in many social development programmes, namely, as the Chairman of the Tharunyata Hetak movement, the “Oba Venuwen Api” (We Stand for You) – an Infrastructure development project in the North & East of Sri Lanka and “Haritha Pirunu Ratak” (Nature Friendly Sri Lanka) – a programme initiated to ensure that the youth of Sri Lanka work towards a nature-friendly country, all of which have been exceedingly successful. His initiatives have encompassed areas such as training & development, sports, environment, health, community service and charity. His unique ability to conclude successful projects such as the Carlton Super Cross 2008 racing meet organized for the purpose of raising funds for a swimming pool in the Jaffna University

shows his dedication to capacitating the youth and working for the people.

Namal Rajapaksa’s development philosophy is to create a younger generation in Sri Lanka that will be able to progress into the 21st Century unscathed by poverty or loss of spiritual stability. Therefore, the envisioned development is two-fold; both physical and spiritual, where viable employment opportunities will be made available along with spiritual development, recreation and entertainment.

Ven Galaboda Gnanissara Thero has successfully undertaken various social development programmes since prior to 1971. Commencing with the Sri Jinaratana Vocational Training Centre where youth are provided with employable skills free of charge, his commitment to helping the youth and people of Sri Lanka has grown in enormous proportions. Following the success of the Vocational Training Centre, Ven Galaboda Gnanissara Thero, fondly known as Podi Hamuduruwo branched out into challenging yet much-needed initiatives such as founding a home for disabled children and an elder’s home in Kotte, Sri Lanka.

In another initiative, Podi Hamuduruwo made arrangements to provide free accommodation to

pilgrims of all religions who visit Kataragama. The Seenigama Tsunami Rehabilitation Project is yet another undertaking by Podi Hamuduruwo. Under this project, over three thousand farmers were given the necessary direction and resources to cultivate rubber, banana, vanilla and other crops. The objective of this project was to help make the inhabitants of the village self-sufficient by utilizing the land in the area with unprecedented introduction of such crops as vanilla which have commercial value.

The humanitarian initiatives do not end there; a “Tree Bank” was established, growing rare and valuable plants and medicinal herbs which are distributed to be planted on the road-side or distributed to the people. These are but a few of the successful and flourishing humanitarian initiatives by the far-sighted Podi Hamuduruwo who is adept at initiating projects that benefit multitudes.

The inimitable fusion of two personalities whose dedication and commitment towards the empowerment of the youth of Sri Lanka and preserving Sri Lanka’s rich culture through pragmatic means, promise the success of any future undertaking aimed at social development and the enhancement of the land.

Hambantota, situated in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka has long remained under-developed. However, since the 2004 Tsunami that severely affected the population, Hambantota has received significant international investment particularly for construction of highways, harbour, international airport, convention hall and the cricket stadium. With the infrastructure development, Hambantota is proving to be a sound investment. However, investments that would directly benefit the community are essential to ensure that the people throughout the district benefit from the aforementioned infrastructural developments.

Although there are massive infrastructure development projects underway, it has been observed that the people are unable to reap benefits. If the people themselves do not develop alongside infrastructure development they would be unable to benefit from the opportunities in the future. Therefore development projects in the region should be able to absorb its local community in providing them with jobs and methods of income, provided that the community is equipped with the

INTRODUCTION

necessary capabilities acquired through training and education.

For instance the youth can be trained as warf clerks to work in the new harbour. In terms of tourism, tourist guides can be trained from the local community and consequently training programmes should be developed so that individuals can enroll in them. Facilities such as a community university are deemed necessary with the understanding that major development projects should go hand in hand with empowering people so that they too can enhance their day-to-day lives.

Consequently the concept of the Na Sevana Community Development Project took root as a community oriented programme to directly impact the people, mainly targeted at school children and youth who ultimately mould the future.

Thus, the clergy of Gangaramaya Temple auspiciously inaugurated the Na Sevana Community Development Project on June 25, 2010. Its expected date of completion is targeted at December 2012.

The proposed project site comes under the jurisdiction of the Hambantota District of the Southern Province. Territories of Sooriyawewa border the site and is a fertile ground adjoining a natural body of water. The whole land extent available for the project is approximately 52 acres.

Water and drainage management for the site will be provided by Solex Limited.

The main objective of the Na Sevana Project is to directly impact the community of not only Sooriyawewa, but also the Hambantota District targeting different groups addressing their relevant shortcomings. They include school children, underprivileged persons and youth whose education has been disrupted. The programme also intends to educate adults on self-employment particularly women and provide the farming community in the region with a clear understanding of proper applications with the introduction of technology to agriculture.

The core concept of the project is to provide a satisfactory livelihood for the people by establishing high living standards where the community can enhance their skills and their environment and live with pride and dignity.

The project will ensure sustainability and will be implemented considering the following areas of development that have been identified to compliment each other to provide an integrated approach to human wellbeing:

1. Economic Development 2. Knowledge and Skills Development3. Health and Wellbeing4. Spiritual Development

1. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTTowards economic development fields such as agriculture, animal farming, motor mechanics and cottage industries will be focused on. The programme also intends to economically uplift the settlements in the Sooriyawewa Zone.

ModeL FarMs agricultureDevelopment focuses on educating farmers and introduction of technology to agriculture from preparation of soil, planting, sowing seeds, fertilizer preparation in their own homes, methods of pest control to continuous irrigation in order to reap a fruitful harvest and to maximize the harvest seasons. Packaging and storage and correct methods to take products to the market is another focus of the programme, to make their agriculture based lives efficient.

Cultivation of rare rice Varieties of sri Lanka Many varieties of rare rice that were part of the normal diet of our ancestors are not being consumed in the present day. The agriculture farm intends on growing and marketing these varieties that are now rare. A six acre area of paddy land has been set aside to grow four rare types of grain identified by the Agriculture Department.

These varieties have a high qualitative value with benefits for ailments and will be grown organically (organic farming). Although the harvest is less, its price is far greater in comparison to the common varieties. Furthermore there is an opportunity to supply these to the western market in packet form, where there is a demand identified for products of this nature.

Identified rare rice varieties to be grown:Suvandal – Maturity (65 days), Kanimurunga (3 months), Paccapermumal (3 months), Heenati (3 months), Sulai (3 months)

agronomy of fruits and vegetablesCrops such as mango, papaya and bananas that are suited to the climate of Hambantota will be cultivated. Proper training will be given to the farmers on planting, taking care of crops, harvesting of the fruits and vegetables and their storage. By training the individuals who work at the farm, the project intends to improve the ‘shelf-life’ of the fruits and vegetables.

Cultivators will be educated on how to harvest fruits and vegetables causing least damage through introduction of appropriate technologies (for example, plucking of ripe mango without causing

damage). Furthermore, tomato, an easily perishable but widely consumed fruit has a high demand during its season when the market price drops but its harvest season ends in a matter of weeks. However with the introduction of proper storage methods such as cold storage utilities tomatoes can also be provided to the market off-season generating a substantial income to the grower. Thus the programme aims to ensure that a healthy harvest reaches the markets. Furthermore, rural farmers would not be able to reach markets in Colombo, thus through this programme farmers will be provided with options in their vicinity to sell their goods.

Livestock and dairy FarmsDairy farms will commence along with the cultivation of crops. The dairy farm intends to encourage the local community to consume fresh milk. Fonterra Brands Lanka is sponsoring 25 milk-cows for this purpose, and these cows will be kept in the dairy farm barn. Special consideration has been given to climatic conditions and thereby milking cows from Pakistan – the climate of which is comparative to Sri Lanka, will be imported by Fonterra Brands Lanka. A five acre pastureland will be created for the cows. School children too can visit such places on educational tours.

Na Sevana aspires to teach farmers the appropriate techniques of rearing an animal including maintaining cleanliness, feeding and milking them. With proper knowledge of livestock maintenance and equipped with experience on the profitability of keeping

livestock, the project hopes that the local community will be motivated to choose livestock breeding as a livelihood for themselves and for future generations.

In this region each household has a land area of about a quarter acre enough to accommodate an animal each. Thus a cow can be provided to each farmer who can then be educated on rearing and maintaining a hygenic environment for livestock. It would become a resource to the family as the nutritional value of their diet may be hampered by economic or climatic factors. Thus each individual would learn how to maintain a barn, milk cows using machinery and store milk. Excess milk can be provided to the centre and distributed to outlets.

Furthermore dung will be used to produce biogas, which can be utilized for cooking and the excess can be provided to the agro farm compost reserve.

Cottage IndustryHayleys Pvt Ltd Coconut Fibre extraction

Hayleys Pvt Ltd intends to install machinery needed for coconut fibre extraction. The raw material needed, for example, coconut husks, will be sourced from in and around the Hambantota area. The extraction process using automatic and hand operated machinery will provide jobs and daily 7500 husks will be extracted for coir and coir products. The fibre production can be used for yarn making and the balance is to be sold to Hayleys. Additionally, the fibre pith or the coir dust can be converted to fertilizer and can be sold to organic farms. This industry will create many employment opportunities for women, such as spinning of coir.

Locals from the District and students who attend the free programmes at the Vocational Training Centre will offer their services at the dairy and agricultural farms on a volunteer basis.

Labour for dairy farming and agriculture will be drawn from the economically underprivileged of the region. They will be given wages, thus enabling them to improve their standard of living.

Infrastructure required: • Administration office - for maintenance of the various buildings in the Institution• Sales outlet - to enable a point of purchase for wholesalers and consumers• Storage facilities - cold storage amenities to reserve products for longer periods

• Sales OutletA major cause of rural poverty is the lack of avenues for marketing of the products of the farmers. To counter this, an effective marketing network will be put in place.

• Acquisition of Cold Storage FacilitiesAs part of the expansion, cold storage facilities are to be put in place to preserve goods such as dairy products and fresh produce. Different forms of produce that are to be cultivated at the Agriculture centre and the model farm, can be preserved and marketed after being stored for a certain period of time. This helps Na Sevana to maintain supplies for longer periods of time and to assist in maintaining and controlling market prices, which will favour the farmers. Additionally, the milk collected from the Na Sevana dairy farm and purchased from local farmers will subsequently be used to produce various dairy products such as yoghurt, curd and will be kept in cold storage until they can be retailed in Hambantota and other urban markets.

2. KNOwLEDgE AND SKILLS DEVELOPMENTThe programme intends to provide knowledge, competencies and skills necessary for carrying out successful vocations thereby improving the employability and abilities of the community. This entails the proper delivery of knowledge of specified subjects like agriculture, dairy farming, cottage industries and motor mechanics etc. The benefits of this will proliferate in the form of a nuclear development, for example, a core group will benefit and will progress to ancillary groups. The developed skills of individuals can be applied in their relevant industries and will positively affect its productivity and thus the individual’s personal development.

Primarily Na Sevana will both harness the existing skills of the unemployed workforce and bring new skills to the area through extensive training. In doing so, it will allow each person to build his or her skills and diversify as well to empower the District’s youth by creating opportunities for future employment and sustainability. Particular attention will be paid to persons dropping out of the formal educational framework. Progress of these individuals will be ensured through:

positive moral and ethical matters. All programmes that are offered will be free. Candidates are expected to contribute by working in the agriculture and dairy farms.

A diverse range of subjects including language, information technology, driver training, motor mechanics, coir work etc., will be introduced under vocational skills making certain that the employability of these individuals increase. As a secondary phase, training in electronics and air conditioning will be introduced.

The Community University intends to provide tertiary education to the school dropouts in the area. The syllabus will enable students to follow an academic programme of study with emphasis on theory while practical training will be segmented into the curriculum. The practicality of the programmes will help individuals gain immediate meaningful employment in vocations such as Tourism.

The Vocational Training Centre & Community University for the purpose of educational development will require the following support:

• Site offices - for construction work and maintenance • House for service operations• Vocational school building – this building will include a computer unit, a driving school, areas or centres for motor cycle repair, bicycle repair and an area to carry out electrical training and motor mechanics training• Building complex for the Community University• Board and lodging for students• Formulation of adequate syllabi by experts• Curriculum and Faculty

DIMO Driver Training CentreThe DIMO Driver Training Centre will provide theoretical and practical training in driving to improve driving standards and thereby prepare candidates for gainful employment locally and overseas.

The main objectives of the Driver Training Centre is to provide specialised training with particular emphasis on road safety, instilling discipline and confidence. First preference will be given to candidates who have already obtained a driving license from RMV but lost touch due to a lack of practice. In addition, internationally accredited and recognized drivers will be provided with opportunities for the global job market.

The driving school will comprise of road tracks with a range of heavy and light vehicles for use. The training facility will also accommodate 48 trainees at the driving school. Furthermore participants in the programme will also be taught motor mechanics to give a comprehensive education to create value added employees.

With free lessons, food and accommodation provided, the returns for the programme will be generated from the participants who will be expected to work on a volunteer basis in the agro farm situated near the school. They will be taught home-gardening and cultivation which they can engage in on a shift basis during free time.

With a diversified set of skills, those who pass out from the driving school will have better prospects with employers and thus earn a higher income. The training would importantly instill discipline, enabling them to engage in a number of roles at their place of employment and become valuable and loyal employees.

Training Infrastructure:• A classroom equipped with model engines, gearbox/clutch and working transparencies• Computer based training systems for technical training• Training vehicles – 32-seater bus, dual-purpose van, three-wheeler and a motorcycle for training purposes• Three qualified driving instructors through RMV

RMV Certification: All the students who complete the training programme will be directed to the standardized driving test at the Registrar of Motor Vehicles (RMV). All successful candidates will be awarded with a DIMO Drivers Training Certificate. It is believed the programme formulated by the DIMO Automobile Training School currently operating in Biyagama, has effectively improved road safety and confidence among both drivers and the general public. Introducing the same curriculum in Hambatota will also provide job opportunities for the public in Hambantota and abroad. The training provided (theory and practical) will be conducted by certified instructors from the RMV.

costs incurred both by students and education providers and provides those in need of learning, the opportunity to do so without any hassle.

With a 100 seating capacity, virtual learning can be conducted through arranged sessions. Women can attend during their free time and learn crafts to produce pan and idikola products (reed), lace, wooden spoons or coir mats. These lessons will teach women to produce items that possess an attractive finish and are marketable globally.

Following several sessions of learning, they will be paid an amount to purchase necessary tools giving them the opportunity to produce products to the required standards. Once they meet the required criteria, the products will be purchased from them and sold at stalls in the shopping area near the learning centre.

Similarly the farming community too can benefit from the learning centre by attending sessions during their free time to gain know-how on cultivating alternate crops such as banana, better methods of harvesting, packaging and transporting methods and incorporating technology at different steps.

Mobitel mLearning InitiativeLocated adjacent to the DIMO Driver Training Centre, the mLearning programme will teach youngsters basic computer knowledge and English as well. The purpose of Mobitel’s mLearning initiative is to provide rural communities in Sri Lanka the opportunity to achieve a qualitative improvement in their livelihoods through education at community level. Mobitel will sponsor infrastructure for educational programmes focussing on the following: agriculture, animal husbandry, rural industries, rural engineering, family welfare, gender welfare, youth welfare, child care, nutrition, English and ICT. Each of these areas of education is to cater to the total community, and is specifically targeted at children engaged in fieldwork after school and would find free time in the evenings to attend lessons. Other target populations include farmers, artists, women and in general the youth.

mLearning allows students and lecturers to connect to live real time, 100% interactive virtual classrooms from anywhere in the world, where they can participate in the lectures as they would in normal classrooms. The virtual classroom will reduce

3. HEALTH AND wELLbEINgAn integral component of the project is to ensureand support the physical health of individuals of the community and of those who visit the Na Sevana Community Development Project. The use of indigenous therapy has diminished from the current system of things due to globalisation and modernisation. Na Sevana aspires to promote indigenous therapy by:

Establishing a garden of Medicinal Herbs and Ayurvedic Medical Treatment CentreThe project intends to cultivate medicinal herbs, which are fast vanishing or are under threat of disappearing from our land. The medicinal herbs produced through these ventures will be supplied to the Ministry of Indigenous Medicine at concessionary prices.

Medicinal Herb garden: Every type of indigenous medicinal plant will be grown within a 30 acre area. All indigenous plants that are grown in the Medicinal Herb Garden will be named and tagged with relevant information such as name, scientific classification, indications, its medicinal property, section of plant used, its region of growth and other necessary information. By doing so, farmers and visitors to the Medicinal Herb Garden will have a comprehensive understanding of Sri Lankan indigenous herbs. Particularly school children can visit the garden on educational tours, walk along the paths provided and learn about the indigenous plants. They can develop awareness on indigenous medicine and become

knowledgeable about the regions of the country that these plants can be grown.

All herbs that are grown will be used for Ayurvedic treatments which will be available at the Ayurvedic Medical Treatment Centre. There is also an agreement with the Centre of Indigenous Medicine of Sri Lanka where herbs that are grown at the Garden, such as katu wel batu and aloe vera will be supplied at a subsidised price. At present coriander is not grown extensively locally and is imported from India. Coriander that is being used at present have reduced essence, whereas grown locally, its original richness can be retained.

Additionally, at present five acres of white sandalwood is being cultivated along with the required water supply in place. It is being carried out in collaboration with Sadaharitha Plantation Ltd as an exemplary cultivation and is a source of high quality timber.

Ayurvedic Medical Treatment Centre: The Centre will provide physical revitalisation. Aiding treatment for various ailments and providing physical wellness, the treatment centre will be made available to the locals of Hambantota, all Sri Lankans and foreign visitors.The following infrastructure - needs are to be made available for the Physical Health Development aspect of the Project;

• Site offices - for construction work and service operations• Ayurvedic Medical Research Centre

4. SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENTConstruction of Chalets At one end of the herbal garden along with the lake frontage, individual chalets similar to boutique hotels will be ideal for individuals seeking rest, relaxation and spiritual growth. While hotel facilities are lacking in this region, the chalets can provide accommodation for visitors who arrive here on cricketing tours and visits to the harbour or airport as well. Online booking facility will also be available. The chalets will cater to families or elderly people to stay in comfort and relax amidst tranquil surroundings. Food will be provided to the guests from the agriculture and dairy farms. An Ayurveda therapy spa will be situated nearby with medicinal boats made from herbal plants and trees to offer therapies for physical wellbeing. The income generated from the paying guests will not only help with the upkeep of the chalets but also generate an income for the Na Sevana Community Development Project.

International Meditation CentreIn the vicinity of the chalets, the International Meditation Centre will be built on the lakefront of Sooriyawewa (Sooriya Lake). Eco-friendly wooden constructions will reinforce a sense of tranquillity and help induce spiritual wellbeing. The hall will allow group meditation for a large assembly.

Seven or ten day programmes will be conducted on Vipassana meditation, the times and dates will be made available online for those interested in enrolling in the programme. Learned Buddhist monks will be available to offer spiritual and meditation guidance and discourses on Buddhism. During the stay, organice food will be provided to the participants who will bear the cost of food and lodging.

Fitness CentreThe DIMO Training Centre that provides training in driving will include a fitness centre/gym. At this centre, training for karate and other disciplines will be provided to learn self defence which will lead to improved mindsets and discipline of the community while inhibiting violence in the society at large. DIMO will provide qualified trainers and gym equipment required for the facility.

bENEFITS FOR THE DISTRICT OVERVIEw

Interest in eco-tourism will be generated with increased number of foreigners seeking spiritual growth and rejuvenation through the meditation centre.

Commercial activities through agriculture and dairy products industry will benefit the local economy.

Empowering the local community, particularly the women and underprivileged of the locality who will be able to reap benefits from opportunities within their grasp.

Sustainability is ensured by means of retailing various products and produce at local and urban markets enabling the continuous contribution towards the economy.

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION

The Executive Committee of Na Sevana Community Development Project will take the total responsibility of managing the project and skill training component of the project. The staff needed for the project will be determined by the Executive Committee and

will work in conjunction with local expatriates who will be employed for the purpose of facilitating the training component. Further personnel such as Human Resources Managers, Project Managers and Administrative Assistants will be employed to ensure the smooth running of the project.

Considering the difficulty in gaining employment opportunities for women, recruitment will be made on a basis of 60% female and 40% male. Nevertheless, this depends on the nature of the exact work opportunities available.

The project will always be mindful of the need to be responsive to the perceptions of the villagers who are both the authors and the beneficiaries of development.

CONCLUSION

The Na Sevana Community Development Project will fulfill multiple needs of the local community. As a whole, the project has a host of economic and lifestyle benefits that will help improve the quality of life of the people of the Hambantota District. The project will improve the living condition and the wellbeing of a significant segment of people in the area. Overall, an era of prosperity and wellbeing will dawn as the inevitable outcome of the project.
