As many as 40 senior Sri Lankan civil servants underwent a special capacity-building programme at the National Centre for Good Governance of India (NCGG) from September 22 to October 3 on the theme ‘Clean Cities, Better Future: Transforming Urban Sri Lanka with Regional Practices’, the High Commission of India in Sri Lanka revealed today.
The programme was aligned with Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake’s Clean Sri Lanka initiative announced in January 2025 and the Swachhata Hi Seva 2025 campaign under the Swachch Bharat Mission in India.
This was the fifth capacity-building programme under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in December 2024 between NCGG and the Sri Lanka Institute of Development Administration for the training of 1500 Sri Lankan civil service officers over a period of five years. With this programme, the total number of officers trained under the MoU reached 201.
The sixth programme under the MoU will also be under the same theme, covering another 40 Sri Lankan civil servants, the Indian High Commission stated.
