Production Village – Overview

Production village is a village that produces or serves value-added products, with low-income families directly contributing to the production process, based on the product potential, resource availability, and market.

Production villages can be identified as single villages or cluster villages (a collection of several nearby Grama Niladhari Divisions) based on geographical factors or the scattering of producers.

Production Villages Classification

The production villages thus established are classified under 05 sectors.

Naming Saubagya Production Villages

Each of these villages is referred to as a “Saubagya production village”.

Out of them, villages that can attract tourists have been identified and with the support of other relevant Ministries including the Ministry of Tourism, attention has been paid to promote the tourism industry.
