DSC 1726From ancient times the development of this country revolved round the concept of village, temple, tank and Dagab. However with the colonization of the country by Europeans development took a different direction and very little of the benefits of development trickled down to the masses.  Although large scale development projects were needed for the development of the country it is also essential to have development projects that address the needs of the people at grass root level.   With this in view on an initiative of Minister Faiszer Musthapha Minister of Local Government & Provincial Councils a program to develop rural infrastructure facilities was launched under the program “ Our village, our temple and our community” at the Dharma Wijeyarama Viharaya at Nawagampura in  Colombo Central.
