COLOMBO (News 1st); The Agrarian Development Department located at Sir Marcus Fernando Mawatha, Colombo 07 was inspected by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa on Friday (21).
The mission of the Department of Agrarian Development is to formulate and maintain an institutional, supportive, legal and management service in a timely manner so as to obtain optimal productivity from agricultural lands.
The Presidential Media Unit stated that the purpose of the President’s observation was to find out whether those objectives were being achieved properly.
