President’s program has been appreciated by other parties also.

National Organizer of the Farmer’s Association of the National People’s Power Namal Karunaratne says that the President’s program has been appreciated not only by the people but also by other parties.

It seems that corruption, terror, drug trafficking and underworld activities have decreased a lot since the new government came into existence.

It was a great achievement. Many measures were taken during this period for the welfare of the people. The first task of the National People’s Power government after the upcoming general election is to present a budget for the coming year.

Most of the attention is paid to the farmers. The government hopes to provide many reliefs for the farmers.

An allowance of Rs 25000 per hectare is already being given for fertilizers. The expectation is to gradually reduce the prices of fertilizers and pesticides. A pool of farm implements will also be established.

That way you can get the necessary equipment for farming. The government pays part of the fees and the rest is collected from the farmer.

Efforts are also being made to provide quality seeds. Mr. Karunaratne said that the plan is to reduce the expenses of the farmer for farming and increase their income.
