Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa today stated that a programme to empower 25,000 women entrepreneurs who are also Samurdhi recipients is to be implemented at the Grama Niladhari level.
It was also decided to provide a loan of Rs. 500,000 at a concessionary interest rate of 4 percent for those who wish to leave Samurdhi assistance voluntarily.

The programme to establish 500 manufacturing villages islandwide was also discussed, out of which 50 such villages have already been established.
