According to the 13th Amendment to the Constitution of Sri Lanka and as per the powers vested on provincial Councils, the Land Department of Sabaragamuwa Province was established. We are in the process of sustainable management of the State Lands in Sabaragamuwa province, which includes 4968 km2 of land and more than 70% of it remain as state land, the main challenge is the limited lands and unlimited development needs. Therefore, to establish a clear land ownership for commercial, agricultural and residential needs through Administration, Protection and Disposal of State Lands in Sabaragamuwa Province are functioning by the Department.
In order to fulfill the above needs we are carrying out services mainly through 29 Divisional Secretariats in the Province and also with the help of the relevant organizations.
