In 2025, the government allocated Rs. 5,000 million for the “Clean Sri Lanka" programme, under which 52 projects aimed at positive social, ethical, and environmental impact are currently underway. These initiatives include providing facilities for disabled communities, improving sanitary infrastructure, rehabilitating drug addicts, modernizing Colombo’s central bus terminal, creating the නිල් ධජ (Nil Dhaja) beach strip and coastal parks, supplying modern waste management facilities to provincial councils, preventing dengue, ensuring food hygiene and safety, and enhancing road safety.
Financial progress of Rs. 3,000 million is expected within this framework.
Several additional projects will be carried out in 2025 by non-governmental organizations and public-private partnerships without relying on government funds. These include railway station renovations, managing human-elephant conflict, maintaining clean and sustainable coastlines, urban forest development, and preventing elephant-train collisions.
For 2026, Rs. 6,500 million is proposed to extend the programme with focus areas including early childhood development support for children regardless of religion or economic status, road and food safety, improved facilities and social acceptance for disabled persons, environmental system conservation and sustainable management, enhancing public environmental awareness and love, sustainable human-elephant conflict management, promoting literary appreciation and reading, boosting tourism through ethical service promotion, raising integrity and anti-corruption awareness, cultivating a society resistant to fraud and corruption, fostering mutual respect and harmony across ethnic and religious lines, improving waste management, advancing sanitary facilities, designing attractive and environmentally sustainable coastal areas, conserving water catchment areas, ensuring water quality in rivers, and promoting the Clean Sri Lanka concept and public participation.
Additional projects will be supported through private sector involvement and public cooperation.
The allocation marks a significant commitment to fostering a cleaner, greener, and ethically conscious Sri Lanka moving forward.
