Among the objectives of this program are freeing the poor from the mentality of dependence on subsidies in the course of economic development and obtaining their active participation in the process by convincing them that they  are an essential component in development activities of the area.

This massive development process is launched with the participation of three parties - the community, political leadership and government officials, making the following statement on "A prosperous Village" in Mahinda
Chinthana a reality:

"My life has been blessed by the winds of purity and fragrance that sweeps across the fields of Kurakkan (millet) in our villages. The village life has also created a deep sense of love, affection, environmental consciousness and a spirit of innovation that had helped nurture the dream such that I have for all village communities of Sri Lanka. I am very keen to realize
such a dream through the implementation of the "Gama Neguma", the village up-liftment program."
