Productivity Village Program is a model village program that started in 1970s in the village called 'Semawulu Umdum' in South Korea. A model village programme today is a great contribution to take South Korea to the highest level in the world. This community productivity model village program is a program based on the same foundation similar to the model village project in South Korea. South Korea was able to do a project like this in the 1970s - 80s thinking about the future of that country. But we have not been able to encourage villages like this since then. Managing projects to bring management, productivity, efficiency in the village to a very high level. That's why our country was backward economically and politically in the past. This program should start from the work of creating a rich country and from the family in the village. This community productivity model village program is running focusing on family harmony, cleanliness, sanitation, education, health, self employment, economy. Although it is a model village program that is running this year, only one village or one domestic from the regional secretariat division is selected this year, we should use this model and use this model as a rehearsal to take this model to all villages in Sri Lanka next year. The potential to make this program a success is with the strength and courage of all those involved in the village project. This is a program to improve the village. This program deserves the maximum contribution, support, commitment from all of you. This model village project operated in Korea was successful because of the hardwork and cooperation of the people of that country. People in Korea were self-motivated to the best they can to implement this project. The determination to somehow bring one's rise, one's economy, home to prosperity through this program is what enabled the project to succeed. "
