PM proposes to open children’s cinema in SL
Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena stressed the need to open a children's cinema in the country to open the door to another avenue for the children's satisfaction.
He said this while participating in the Children's Day celebrations held at Temple Trees today.
"There is no children's cinema in our country. We should build one. There is no need for big film halls. We are ready to support such a project together with the Prime Minister's Office and Provincial Councils. By doing so, we can open the door to another avenue for children's satisfaction," he said.
He said the government is taking numerous steps to make many proposals and to implement them in order to make a better future for the children.
"It is essential to provide the necessary additional protection and support for enhancing these measures," he said.
"There can be no obstacles for children to enjoy their rights in society and to transform them into their roles that can be played as citizens of the future society. If there are such legal obstacles, they should be removed. "We, as the government should not hesitate to make and implement the necessary decisions in that regard. "The private sector makes a considerable contribution from their income for the benefit of children. I am Thankful for that. "We have to make decisions on behalf of about five million children. There are a large number of children who drop out of school. However, we are only talking about the kids who pass and fail in examinations.
"We are working to actively support the Minister's efforts to further strengthen necessary statutes including child protection laws," the Prime Minister added.
