President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has decided to re-commence, without delay, the program to provide employment opportunities to 150,000 persons that was halted due to the General Election and the recruits are to report to work on September 02, the President’s Media Division said.

The number of unemployed graduates to be recruited is 50,000. For the remaining 100,000 jobs, candidates will be selected from families of the lowest strata of income earners in the society.

The program to employ 50,000 graduates and 100,000 low-income earners was formulated within weeks after President Rajapaksa assuming office in November last year.

Shortlisting suitable candidates from applications received from graduates commenced in the first week of February. A Multi-Purpose Development Task Force was established to recruit 100,000 low-income earners. The objective of the program is to transform Sri Lanka into a country free from poverty as per the “Saubhagyaye Dekma” policy statement of the President.
