Hambantota has remained a dry and poor district in Sri Lanka for many decades with vast areas of land unutilized. It is a district with open land area and sparse greenery. But, with initiation of the new government more attention has been given to Hambantota and it is good to see an effort being made to change the earlier perception-a district with a dead central city, with dry, salty and windy conditions, where the major coastal cities and villages devastated and almost wiped off by raging

Tsunami waves,where people lost their lives during natural hazards. The present government is making every effort to narrow the persistent gap between the centre ( Colombo ) and the periphery ( Districts such as Hambantota ).Therefore , the government selected Hambantota as it is a district where huge potential is available for development. Specially, Land and natural resources.
