The Saubhagya Production Villages programme that focuses on building an economic link between the remote communities and the city is expected to establish 500 manufacturing villages islandwide by the end of this year. When selecting these manufacturing villages, additional consideration was given to communities whose households already supply the same commodities individually or in clusters. 10 million for a single village, allowing each manufacturer to purchase the equipment required individually or for the village in general. It is assisted by Grama Niladharis, Agricultural Research Production Assistants, Development Officers, and Samurdhi Officers. Under the Saubhagya Production Villages programme, production villages have been identified, covering all districts of the country.
