Families who had been in possession of government lands without clear ownership received grants under the patronage of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa today (08) at the Presidential Secretariat. The government’s objective is to ensure that every family owns land with undisputed ownership as envisioned in the National Policy Framework “Vistas of Prosperity and Splendour”, President Media Division stated. The grant, awarded by the President, is considered a deed, indicating undisputed ownership of the specific land. The President stated that he expects to issue 100,000 ownership grants before the end of this year. President Rajapaksa presented grants to 19 persons representing all provinces to symbolize the launch of the program today.
