A clean green city building programme has been implemented in conjunction with the 75th National Independence Day celebration, entrusting the youth with the responsibility of creating a green Sri Lanka.
The Youth Affairs and Sports Ministry, the National Youth Service Council, the Sri Lanka Youth Club Federation and the Youth Parliament, will implement this programme under the “National Youth Platform” in accordance with the concept of President Ranil Wickremesinghe to engage youth in the country’s development.
Cleaning of one selected city representing each Divisional Secretariat Division will be done in the initial phase of the programme.
Cleaning of selected cities will commence with 50,000 youth from all 335 Divisional Secretariat Divisions covering the country from February 3 to 10.
During the initial phase in conjunction with the 75th Independence Day, the contributions of provincial councils, urban councils, municipal councils and their affiliated institutions will be obtained, and the regional secretaries, Sri Lanka Police, health service offices and other community bases and voluntary organizations are also expected to contribute.
The relevant city should be cleaned monthly and it is expected to indirectly obtain the contribution of other youth organizations, university students, students of training centers, scouts, cadet groups and school environment activists in each division.
It is also significant that this green city building programme will receive the contribution of the United Nations Volunteers (UNV).
