Message of Secretary
For the well-being of the people living in the jurisdiction of the Mahara Pradeshiya Sabha of
98.8 square kilometers, health services, public road lighting, community development, public
utility services should be performed in accordance with the passed ordinances and regulations
with the participation of the public in an environmentally friendly manner. Mahara Pradeshiya
Sabha renders a great service to the people who pay taxes annually for the welfare of the people
by utilizing the limited resources with maximum efficiency.
Pilkuttu can be called a historical pilgrimage site in the Mahara region as an oasis that was
purified by the pious feet of the Maharahant who killed the four defilements. Pilkuttu Raja Maha
Vihara, which consists of dripped and non-dripped stone caves in an area of about 200 acres, is a
historical forested site with many archaeological heritages. That is why this is the largest quarry
complex in the Western Province. Some of the places of historical importance are Walagamba
Rajamaha Vihara, Maligathenna Viveka Senasana, Vebada Purana Rajamaha Vihara, Anagarika
Mahamevna Asapu, Varapalana Tampita statue. Danaukanda is a famous meditation center.
Isigilikanda is a temple located on a scenic hilltop. It also includes a Yogashram.
My main objective is to improve the public facilities of the people living in the jurisdiction of
the Mahara Pradeshiya Sabha, which is rapidly developing, and which is composed of the most
beautiful natural beauty, historical local and foreign attractions, and uplift their standard of
living. Having identified the needs of the people of the area, I am constantly working for the
public.
I expect to provide an efficient and effective service to the people of the area with maximum
performance by creating transparency and maintaining optimal financial discipline while
protecting the resources available to the Mahara Pradeshiya Sabha and using them effectively.
I am dedicated to leading the mission of leading the Mahara Pradeshiya Sabha towards
continuous development and I believe that I will get your support without fail to achieve those
activities.
It is my primary intention to make the Mahara Pradeshiya Sabha an institution that provides
excellent public relations and efficient service among the local government bodies.
I cordially invite the people of the Mahara region and the institutions and citizens who wish to
connect with us to visit the website of the Mahara Pradeshiya Sabha.
L. A. Manjula Samanti,
Secretary and Implementation Officer,
Poers and Functions of the Mahara Pradeshiya Sabha.
