Much research has been done by numerous experts on the future of the plantation industry involving tea, rubber and coconut. While very valuable strategic options have been provided and focus shifted to existing and emerging technology as a futuristic vision, critical grass roots activities have not been adequately addressed. Who will pluck the tea, tap the rubber and pluck coconuts in say 20 years' time. How will they do it? A major, but yet unmet challenge exists with the tea, rubber and coconut industry even now but definitely futuristically as to who will... -Full Story- (LankaWeb - 11/03/25)

(Excerpted from Rendering Unto Caesar, by Bradman Weerakoon) In April 1971, there occurred the JVP insurrection which assumed significant proportions in the Ampara district. Rohana Wijeweera, the leader of the JVP at the time, had been arrested in Ampara, at the bus-stand a few months earlier and was in remand in far-away Jaffna. However, the cells he had initiated in the district schools, specially those with selected teachers and some of the best of the senior students continued to thrive — in Ampara those following science subjects were very active specially... -Full Story- (LankaWeb - 11/03/25)

Thirty-seven senior police officers have been transferred with immediate effect. They include 28 Officers-in-Charge (OICs) and five Senior Superintendents of Police (SSPs). Four SSPs have been appointed Deputy Inspectors General (DIGs). The police transfers have caused concern to the Opposition.

Former Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL), Dr. Indrajith Coomaraswamy, addressed allegations regarding the surge in International Sovereign Bond (ISB) borrowings during his tenure that led to the country’s debt default, clarifying that much of the debt was used for liability management and to avert an earlier default. Speaking at a public lecture on “A New Paradigm in Macroeconomic Management,” Dr. Coomaraswamy responded to claims that his administration’s borrowing policies contributed to Sri Lanka’s eventual default.

Gamini Dissanayake, Minster of Mahaweli Development had suggested it and the Mahaweli Ministry staff responded enthusiastically. It was a settlement created at Ministry level. It should have been a great success. But it was not . The organizers blundered, the settlers were removed and the project crushed.

The question of women’s rights has long been a contentious issue, with debates often swinging between the realms of religion and secular society. Each side seeks to establish its superiority in promoting women’s liberation. This controversy is not unique to any single faith but is a subject of debate among various religions, each aiming to demonstrate its egalitarian principles.

The incumbent Government of President Anura Kumara Dissanayake can thank its stars and also the West-dominated ‘Sri Lanka Core Group’ at the UNHRC for the latter extending ‘diplomatic goodwill’ towards Colombo and welcoming the ‘peaceful elections and smooth transition-of-power’, as if they were expecting/anticipating something different this time (too).
