The Sri Lankan Armed force can go ahead further in contributing to the economy by getting a percentage (important infrastructures ) of government tender. This will help improving the technical and engineering capability of the Armed force while keeping their muscles active. The profit can be utilized for improving weapons capabilities and the welfare of the armed force personnel. Although the country does not have and armed emergency situation, it is at an economic emergency is note worthy.

Credit should go to Rajapaksa for finishing the war and starting the rehabilitation of these young people. This is why rajapaksa should be taken back to run the country.

This is to Director Chandrarathna PallegamaI have some suggestions to improve their productivity and their living standards. Please allocate some percentage of income and credit to special account of each individual that has to be opened at NSB. The accumulated money to be paid to them at the end of a certain period to pay for their children's education, medical treatment for their parents or children etc. I have suggested the same to the previous government when they use Army personnel for development activities. But I have no idea whether my previous suggestion had reached the top brass who could make such a decision. Dear Director you may discuss this with suitable personnel and implement this.

It is very nice to see these people are being used for a very good cause rather than being used to separate and destroy the country. A very big THANK YOU to everybody involved in it.

This is very good thinking.This innocent people were used for terrorist activities in the past.but see how much peacefull they are. Cultivating, Harvesting are the activities that give more happiness to your mind.Just like meditation.If they started their own farm immediately then there is a risk and stress.But it's not here.This would be more meaningful if they can obtain higher education about the agriculture science.Then one day they can help to Sri Lankan farmers to uplift their productivity and help to people to grow vegetables at home for their own consuming.
