‘e – Grama Niladhari’ to be the new national database

News

The Cabinet has approved to accept the database of ‘e – Grama Niladhari’ project as the national database instead of the existing householders’ register.

The proposal to utilise the community-based database of ‘e – Grama Niladhari’ project was submitted by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

“Numerous issues have been erupted due to issuance of certificates pertaining to residency based on electoral register by the Grama Niladhari officers and not implementing the methodology of maintaining the householder list,” the Cabinet proposal stated.

‘e –Grama Niladhari’ project inaugurated under the State Ministry of Home Affairs is in the process of collecting data from 14,022 Grama Niladhari divisions under several phases.
