The first of a series of "Derana" programs took place recently at Siyane College of Education, Attanagalla under the patronage of President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga who conceived the idea of "Derana" to provide legal titles to unauthorised settlers. The title deeds to unauthorised settlers in every District islandwide will be issued by the Land Reform Commission. The recipient of such land can tender this title deed as a legal security to obtain a loan at his discretion. The event is jointly organized by the Plantation Industry Ministry and the Land Reform Commission. |
