The research is designed to analyse the importance and role of foreign aid, in the country's development strategies and foreign policy since 1965. This will. partially facilitate Understanding of the role of external assistance in a national and global context. It hopes to pinpoint the increasing importance of foreign aid resources in the country's economy and the need to nurture the island's external relations so as to make possible the continuance of such support. The divergent views of the Sri Lankan elite on the impact of the country's economic relations with the outside world, on development strategy will be
discussed.
The different economic and foreign policies followed by different governments since 1965 and the various criticisms leveLled at them will be analysed. The strategy of the open economy enunciated in 1977will be reviewed in relation to the economic record of the United Front Government formed in 1970.
Finally, an analysis will be made of the implications of the new economic development, strategy and foreign aid, on the country's foreign relations.

The objective of the study is to ermine critically the mothods used to appraise the economic feasibility of the Mahavillachchiya tank irrigation modernization project with special attention to the more accurate forecasting of costs and benefits, and to formulate and compare a number of alternative proposals applying social cost benefit analysis. Appraisal of alternative proposals involved collection of primary and secondary datang deritzon of yield functions, PEKAEDE CENTRALEE of LiNOKI Programmting and the tase of the Little Med

Mirrlees (1974) methodology in economic and social cost benefit analysis. Use of the latter involved the derivation of accounting prices and other parameters, and included sensitivity and Disk analysis. The apprar-- sals show that a combined progrn
anne, which includes cleaning channels and a project manager options, has both the highest IRR and the highest net present value at a 12 per cent discounting rate. Given the limited investment involved, cleaning channels, soil Compaction and a project manager options taken separately do not fully utilise the economic potential of the scheme. The present values of the pipelines and canal lining options are very. sensitive to the rate of discount used. Farm budget comparisons, the government level evaluation, sensitivity and risk analysesalso lead to the choice of the combined programe in preference to the others.
The study indicates the limitations of project proposals, prepared without adequate regard to existing data and knowledge by short duration visiting teams; the feasibility of combining positive and normative approaches in forecasting and of applying an appropriate methodology, that of Little and Mirrlees, for project. appraisal in Sri Lanka, and the relevance of using sensitivity and risk analyses.

The objective of this research is to explore the feasibility of constructing vintage models of perennial supply via a case study of the rubber and tea sectors in Sri Lanka. The first phase of the study involved collecting and organising aggregate and estatelevel data on rubber and tea avai lable from both published and unpublished sources.
The models will address the new planting and replanting decisions of estates and smallholders and their relation to producer prices, government subsidy payments, and anticipated yields; the relationship - of yields to age structure, clonal mix, labour, other inputs, and climatic conditions; the depletion of existing stands over time;

the use of inputs in relation to input and producer prices tapping intensities and plucking rounds and their relation to wage rates, prices, climatic conditions, and elevation; and the effect of changes in the price structure of grades of processed output on the output
mix. The models will also in- . corporate such policy variables as export duties, export cesses, subsidies for replanting, the use of fertilizer and varieties of planting materials. This
will enable to present a syste- 1 matic evaluation of the consequences of alternative incentive schemes on usage of inputs, the output of crops, associated foreign exchange earnings, and the flow of government revenues for other purposes. The research will be of use to government planners in Sri Lanka.

This study begins with an introductory chapter on the general nature and the importance of a rural economy of a country, and discusses the phenomenon of interlinkage in factor markets particularly those of land, labour and credit in the subsistance economy.

Page 25
Factor markets and financial intermediation in Sri Lanka's rural economy have been analysed Arising from the analysis the conclusions and policy recommendations have been aimed at emphasising the point that instead of attacking imblances in particular rural factor
markets, separately, a coherent attack should be made and the problem of rural economy treating all four interlinked factor markets and technology as a single phenomenon.

Ph. D. dissertation. Nagoya: Nanzan University, Japan. 1980-1984.
Thesis. Japanese Government.
In the Sri Lanka context the primary objective of economic deve
lopment is twofold. One is the creation of more and more employment opportunities and the other is raising or at least maintaining the current standard of living of masses. The vehicle of development for the

bankete e N9, ATvz
emast part is industrialisation. and the success or the failure of the exercise depends, to a very large extent, on the export performance and the balance of payments position of the country. In fact, over the years the balance of payments came to receive more and more attention. And today, factors such as debt servicing and rescheduling, tapering off of private remittances of Sri Lankan workers abroad, bleak prospects for foreign aid, and ever increasing imports have made the correction of balance of payments position through better export performance and objective in itself. Chances of our existing relatively large scale industries of the public and private sectors providing sufficient export goods are remote. This is because, particularly, in the public sector poor production efficiency arising out of, among other things, the shortage of technical and managerial skills, and also due partly to the shortage of capital makes it impossible to reach a level of productivity sufficiently large to achieve international competitiveness. . This state of affairs in turn can be traced to an original mistage in the choice of technology, product and industrial organisation.
Under the circumstances this thesis undertakes an examina - tion of the past performance of the Sri Lankan economy, a review of current conceptual ideas and then suggests a more realistic and practical approach to the problem of economic development of Sri Lanka in particular, and Asian underdeveloped countries in general.

The aim of this research is to study the implications of devolution of political authority and decentralisation of administration on functioning of the district administration system of Sri Lanka. The study
concludes that the system of district administration as constituted by the Development Councils Act No. 35 of 1980 and Development Councils (Amendment) Act No. 45 of 1981 framed on the basis of findings of the report of the commission fails to satisfy requirements of a well structured co-ordinative organisation in view of the . weak authority relationships established among constituent members.

The term 'Kandyan Peasantry' carries an enthono-regional and socio-economic connotation. As a group of people, Kandyans can be distinguished from the others socio-economically having being left out of the mainstream of modernization and change during the period of colonial dominance. It is the socio-economic backWardness of the Kandyan Peasantry and the attempts that have been made to improve the standards of living in the rural Kandy an areas since independence by the state that provides the thematic base for the present study.
The study contains three parts, of which the first part recognizes the 'Kandy an area as an underdeveloped region', and attempts to identify the nature of its 'backwardness', examining critically the perception that this part of the country (Central Highlands) had. in relatie 1 terms, tagged behind inlikleve bot ment. This analysis provides the background to the programmes of 'area development' which were introduced since independence. (i.e. Kandyan Peas antry Rehabilitation).

In Sri Lankan Universities, although the structure of the arts courses have been widened by incorporating new subjects to meet the increasing number of students channelled towards the field of arts, no account has been taken of the personal development of the student or the relevance of the curricula to be followed. Although student disturbances in universities are followed by inquiries and subsequent submission of proposals to avert recurrences of such situations, these measures have proved to be of a temporary nature and no systematic attempt has been made to take into account views of university. authorities, members of the academic staff and the students.

This study, aims to rectify this situation by examining in depth the possibilities of restructuring the arts curriculum of undergraduates so that it would be better adapted to meet the contemporary needs of Sri Lanka. Data will be collected by administering questionnaires and by interviewing a random sample of 500 students attached to the Faculty of Arts, University of Colombo. Information pertaining to the arts course will be obtained from relevant university authorities and the staff. Information obtained from the students will be evaluated in the light of data gathered from the staff. An attempt will be made to identify the various weaknesses in the existing arts curriculum and to forward proposals for its reorganization and innovation.

This research examines the experience of two countries, Malaysia and Sri Lanka with science Curriculum development at the secondary school level over the last decade. The study explores. the nature and methods of curriculum development, the characteristics of the intrinsic quality of the new curricular and the extent to which innovatory programes have been successfully implemented. To this end field work has been conducted in Malaysia and Sri Lanka. The first part of the research in each country consists of case studies of processes which new courses have been designed and introduced. The second part involves detailed intrinsic analyses of course materials. The third part is a study of the implementation of new courses. The case studies of curriculumdevelopment highlight the need to reconsider strategies for the future. From the intrinsic analysis it is clear, that though progress has been made in trproying the quality of curriculum materials there is still much scope for further development.
Some suggestions are made in the final chapter for possible courses of action to overcome many of the problems identified. Key areas for further research are also highlighted.

On the basis of the findings it is hoped to assess the success or failure of the schools' educational programe with regard to teaching of democracy, pin point its shortcomings and to make proposals for the planning of future programmes.
This study will be conducted in the Gampaha District and will cover 64 schools in the area.

The sample for this research has been drawn from the Dehiwala education circuit in Colombo education region. Recurrent government expenditure per student has been computed in these schools and it has revealed that major part of the expenditure consisted of teacher salaries and second largest was expenditure on transport provided by the Sri Lanka Transport Board.
Difference of expenditure on the basis of different streams viz, arts, science and commerce and difference between schools have also been computed. This research has revealed that large sums of money is being spent on senior secondary education and that fair amount of wastages too have taken place. The author has made recommendations to get the maximum benefit from the money spent and to minimize the wastage.

The gem industry has resulted in the increased rate of early school leaving among students in the Ratnapura District, in order to engage themselves in activities connected with the gem industry. Although this in itself, is perceived as a disadvantage, it has at the same time helped to overcome the problem of unemploy
ment.
The purpose of this study is to identify a way to uplift national education, to resolve the current problems in education and to prevent early school leaving; proposals which it is hoped, would make a contribution to national development.
A sample of 200 teachers, 100 parents and 500 students from twenty randomly selected urban and rural schools in the Ratnapura District will be used in the survey. The effect of the gem industry on the schools in the Ratnapura District will be discussed with regard to attitudes of teachers and students towards formal education. The causes

for early school leaving will be analysed in detail and the elicitation of data will be by questionnaires and interviews.

This study will concentrate mainly on the Anuradhapura District which is the largest administrative district in Sri Lanka. It is also

an area in which the government has investigated a large quantum of resources for the development of education. The objective of the research is to study broadly the was tage of human and physical resources in this district which prevent maximum benefit being derived from the invest - ment. The researcher hopes to specify the cause of such problems and to propose remedial measures to overcome it in the future.
In carrying out this study, human and material resources available in 650 schools in the Anuradhapura district will be assessed and tabulated. Presentations of the monetary value of the annual investment in the
district will be made.
Data will be elicited by administering questionnaires among the principals of schools, district education officers, and teachers; by interviewing the respective officials of the Ministry of Education and by reference to relevant official reports at ministerial, district and circuit levels. *

This project focuses on the fact that we cannot depend entirely on traditional formal methods of education to fulfil the requirements of youth, to
make them knowledgeable and to provide them with vocational guidance. It seeks to establish the fact that informal education is necessary to fulfil these needs and thereby involve young perople in the development efforts of the country. The study will therefore attempt to ascertain whether these objectives are being successfully achieved by the island wide network of youth societies founded by the National Youth Services Council.
The sample will consist of 200 members of the age group 17-30 years from different youth societies and data will be elicited by
means of interviews and questionnaires. The study will also include participant observation by the researcher.

Thesis. Journal article.
This research examines several aspects of the development of the child's understanding/perception of the cause of Academic Success and failure among English and Sri Lankan children. By drawing together perspectives from Attribution Theory, the tradition of research of the French educational scientist pigett, and studies on. the development on social cognition, this study has attempted to solve problems relating to types of attribution, comparison of attribution of Sri Lankan and English school children and the effect of age on these several aspects. The main sources of evidence are tape recorded interviews with children in the five to fourteen age group.
The data from both countries offer a number of qualifications to the model of attribution currently used to describe children's attri - butions for success and failure. These include a distinction between different types of ability attribution, a critical examination of the taxonomyused for classification of "efficient causality" lying behind the current model of attribution, and an analysis of some different meanings attached to the attribution - 'luck'. New findings are offered on the scheme of compensatory causes from both countries. Some

34 -
unanticipated findings from Sri Lanka on compensation. draw attention to the complex relationship between operational thought and social reality. New data are presented on the reasoning behind achievement evaluation. Finally, some differences between the English and the Sri Lankan samples in the frequency of use of different types of attribution are related to the different socioeconomic contexts of schooling in these countries.

It is great importance that Sri Lanka being a developing country due consideration should be given to both physical and human resources, in its development efforts. It is a fact that formal educational institutions

Page 50
Occupy a prominent place in the development of human resources and much is expected from institutions of higher education. Therefore there is intense competition to enter these institutions. This has given rise to the concept of 'popular schools' in the minds of teachers and students with regară to the school environment.
This study therefore seeks. to examine the impact of the school environment (which consist of teacher resources, library and laboratory facilities) on the (1) success or failure of students at the G.C.E. (A/L) examination; (2)
migration of large groups of students into the cities;. (3) the temptation to attend tuition. classes and its influence on the achievements of children. The study also seeks to examine the relations between the school environment and the social and economic environment of the child.
The sample for the investigation will consist of 10 randomly. selected schools in the district of Gampaha with G.C.E. (A/L) classes. Questionnaires will be issued to the students in the G.C.E. (A/L) classes, and to their parents and teachers; relevant persons will be interviewed. Marks scored at the G.C.E. (A/L) Examination will also be obtained from the Department of Examinations.

There is a steadily increasing rate of early school leaving, especially among the low socioeconomic groups. This is resulting in the wastage of funds set out for education and the exploitation of these 'dropouts' in the labour market. The objectives of the study are to, (1) ascertain the socio-economic background of
dropouts; (2) determine the nature of their activities: employment, income, education, leisure activities etc; (3) assess the impact of early school leaving, on the individual and the society as a whole.
Pilot studies have already been carried out on this subject in four towns in Sri Lanka. A sample of 500 dropouts of the age group 6 - 11 years who have left school between the period '78-'81 will be used from six urban localities in different areas of the

The main aim of the study has been to find out whether the income received by an individual from his employment differed according to his level of education. As a corollary of the main aim, an attempt has been made to find out whether such factors as sex, socio-economic background, prestige of the respondent 's occupation, the school attended by him and the course of studies followed had any relationship with his income. The study shows that neither the highest numbers that have amassed educational credentials nor the economic changes that have taken place in the country has resulted in a devaluation of education that is generally feared.

Thesis.
The purpose of the study is to attempt some guidelines to a. rational allocation of land between agriculture and forestry in Sri Lanka. The pressure or land in Sri Lanka is remarkably high, and is increasing at an unpresedented rate. Land required for agriculture has, so far, been increasing at various rates and it tends to continue further. The result, therefore is, in spite of some of our forest products being imported, the corresponding decrease in forest area.
The area under forest in certain parts of the island has already become crucial in terms of the protection of the delicate balance of the environmental conditions, due to the unchecked deforestation that took place in the present and past. In addition, the threat to the forest land is substantially high in certain areas of Sri Lanka becaus of the increasing need of land · for so called high priority uses, even though the overall area unde forest in the island is higher than the so called 'optimum'.
However, as far as the present situation of the forest and agricultural land in Sri Lanka is. concerned the forest land can no longer be regarded as an inexhaustible resource. It is accept ed, generally, that there should

Page 63
be a close relationship between agriculture and forestry for a sound utilization of rural land: since a carefully planned forestry sector is considered as an essential element of a rural land use pattern. Therefore a rational allocation of laną between agriculture and forestry in Sri Lanka has now become one of the basic and imperative necessities of rural land planning.
* The methodology employed is building of an 'optimum model' of land use, and an attempt to test the model with the Sri Lanka's conditions of land utilization. Secondary data are used to test the model and a 'rough estimation' of the 'zone of competition' between agriculture and forestry in Sri Lanka is the one of final results of the study.

This study is concerned with establishing of a Dry Soya Milk Powder Plant. Dry Soya Milk Powder provides a cheaper cooking substitute for coconut, weans away from coconut which increases exportable surplus and not only provides a more nutritive substitute for coconut but also avoid wasteful use of coconut.

Out of 16,000 tons of soyabeans provided in 1983, the demand for value added products. was only about 50 per cent. There are plentiful supplies for any further increase in valie added inäustry. The proposed picant Consumes only 3,000 tons of soya beans per year or 19 per cent of total production at its full development (8 tons per day with two shifts).
The proposed Dry Soya Milk Powder plant has maximum installed capacity of 4 tons per shift. The project is estimated to cost U.S. $ 1,62 million. Profits after taxation and depreciation would be US $ 435,200 by the fifth year and the projected pay back period is 4 years. Intermat rate of return is 34,4 per cent with 10 years project life.

A variety of factors combine and reinforce one another lending strong arguments for undertaking a combination of projects for the carning of fruits in Sri Lanka. Very low per capita consumption of fruits signal that although many varieties of fruits have formed a part of the Sri Lankan diet for a long time, the problem is only one of applying known technologies of canning to upgrade traditional methods and to introduce better packaging to present acceptable products with a long shelf-life to the local consumers.
The proposed plant has production capacity of 750 mt. of cordials and squash, 205 mt. of joms. Jellies

This research study attempts to analyse the importance of the rubber industry in the economy of Sri Lanka in terms of Land use, contribution to such macro-economic phenomena as national income, employment, export earnings, government revenue and industrial development. It also discusses the growth of the rubber industry from a historical point of view and highlights the various stages of expansion of the industry since its introduction to Sri Lanka. The factors that led the ceylonese entrepreneurs into the rubber industry is another aspect dealt in this study. Land reform and its effects on the industry which eliminated foreign Omership to a certain extent and reduced private owners into smallholders has been discussed.
Export and marketing, focussing on the attempts made by the government to solve processing and marketing problems of small holdings and economic returns from rubber production are also discussed. The study reveals that Sri Lanka has still not made much progress in the rubber based industry which accounts for only 3 per cent of the total manufacturing output of the country.

Tourism in Sri Lanka though of recent origin plays a prominent role as generator of foreign exchange. Initiated officially under an Act of Parliament (No. 10 of 1966) tourism has now turned out to be the island's fifth

Page 76
- 60
largest foreign exchange earmer. In addition, its importance as a highly skilled industry, and as an agent of social change promoting regional development in areas not particularly rich in natural resources should be given due recognition.
Although the Sri Lanka, Tourist - Board recognises a five fold division into tourist zones tourist activity appears to be mainly confined to the Southern Coastal Belt. It is interesting to see that the cultural landScape as well as the life style of people along the coast have been subjected to a massive change with the spread of Tourism.
Studies that have been published so far' in relation to this change do not emphasize the spatial aspects of tourism with much attention and understanding. Thus it is of vital importance to study the spatial changes that have occurred with this area. The proposed study. is an attempt to analyse and evaluate the socio-economic transformation witnessed along the south-west coast due to tourism.
Considering the socio-economic. changes witnessed along this ribbon of land, three locations namely Bentota, Hikkaduwa and Koggala have been selected for this study. This study will be based partly on a questionnaire, survey representing a 10% sample of village families and 10% sample of tourist shops and other service centres from each locality. In addition secondary data collected from town councils, Grama Sevakas, G. A.A. etc. relating to this study would be given due recognition.

The recently evolved concept of exclusive economic Zone (EEZ) has resulted many nations to claim extended jurisdiction for economic activities over their adjacent seas. Sri Lanka also has declared her exclusive economic zone of 200 nautical miles in 1976. The study will briefly review the history & evolution of EEZ and will dealwith the rights and obligations in the EEZ, legislation enacted in Sri Lanka and other neighbouring countries, Sri Lanka's experience relating to matters in the EEZ. It will also discuss how best Sri Lanka could enforce the laws in the Zone with the present resources and law enforcement bodies, the manner in which Sri Lanka should develop the policy and organisation to maximise protection in the zone with reference to economic and other activities, and regional cooperation on protection and law enforcement of respective EEZ s.

The study intends to find out how far Sri Lanka could manage and conserve the EEZ and enforce such laws with the present resources and will also recommend the proposals to overcome the lacunas, areas of conflict.

Arguing on the premises that the plantation people are a significant component of the population of our country, the research would show how they came to be part of that population and briefly trace their social history from the beginnings of their immigration to the present day: this history would be analysed in 4 sections: (i) The beginnings: c. 1820-c. 1870; (ii) Consolidation : c. 1870-c. 1948;, (iii) Post-Independence: 1948-1964; (iv) The InterGovernmental Agreements: 1964 to the present day. The research would then seek to analyze the play and interplay of the factors outlined in the proposed title and test the results of the analysis against the hypothesis that the plantation people, while being an important constituent of our pluri-culture have an important role to fulfil in the achievement and continuation of a genuine pluri-cultura society.

There are about 150,000 persons engaged in the teaching profession and a large expenditure, is incurred by the government in employing them. However, it is generally agreed that the target levels are not reached with regard to educational achievement. As a result the teaching service is being subjected to severe criticism. Thus, one aim of this study is to investigate whether the fundamental reason for this situation is the lack of a.proper understanding of their role by the teachers. The researcher expects to provide remedial measures through the teacher training programmes of the future. The main objective of the study is to provide a practical definition of the role of the teacher, which is lacking at present. An attempt will be made to investigate the manner in which the role of the teacher is perceived within and outsiäe the school and to find out whether differences exist with regard to the perception of the . 'teacher's role in the different teacher training courses. The "sample involves 400 teacher trainees selected at random from five teacher training colleges. Data will be gathered through interviews, by administrating questionnaires and by the use of relevant literature.

The principal objective of the study is to understand the process of change in fertility in order to identify and measure the impact of the factors that caused its decline. The changes in marriage patterns seem to have played a major role in bringing about a decline in birth rate. The study is based an sample survey data . specially collected for the purpose from about 5,000 households in Sri Lanka. The topics. covered in the survey are demography, fertility, family planning, marriage household assets, income, and socio-economic characteristics. The study showed that fertility decline was very significant and was shared by all the socioeconomic groups. The experience with fertility decline in Sri Lanka demonstrates the feasibility of bringing about a substantial reduction in fertility even emong the poor and the illiterate through an efficient family planning programe.

This study is an evaluation of the housing development programes, sponsored by the government, with special reference to their impact on rurat development of Sri Lanka. Four major housing projects; Model Village Scheme, Aided Self-help Scheme, Electoral Housing Project and Fisheries Housing Project implemented under the Ministry of Local Government, Housing and · Construction are considered as rural sector programme in this study. Although after 1971 period is considered in this study, different housing programmes launched by the government since independence will be evaluated as a preliminary. Since the study also observe the . relative importance of housing programme compared with other development effort various rural development projects will be studied using available data

in order to highlight that there was less attention paid to the housing provision. After that, as an approach to the study an evaluation will be
made on the present government housing policy which envisage that self-help programme is a primary requisite in the process of development.
Within this broader objective the study will give the attention to the following specific aspects:-
1. An evaluation of the impact of
housing projects as upgrading rural community, their ideol

Malaria eradication in 1946 is regarded as one of the greatest achievements of preventive health, care in Sri Lanka. However, it has lead to a precipitous decline of mortality, population increased rapidly during the subsequent years and it entailed both positive and negative effects. Robin Barlow of School of Public Health, University of Michingan has projected these effects for next 26 years. The objective of the present study is to find whether these projected effects had been experienced during the selected time lags, or not. Barlow's projections are regarded as hypotheses of the study and they will be examined by secondary data.

This study looks into present structure and processes of development in the village economies, focussing on their transactions and income flows as the specific approach.
The data has been collected from two village areas in the wet Zone. of Sr Lanka. The rural areas in the Wet Zone, having higher population densities than the Dry Zone are opened to the outside world through large or small scale plantation agriculture which has been the main source of income, while government subsidies are following into the lands of most of the low income families.
This study shows that the analysis of rural transactions and income flow pattern provides a sound approach to the structure, trends and causes of existing problems of the villages. The findings reveal that income flows from outside areas are most important in the growth and development of thes economies.
Further increases in the productie and productivity of these villages is constrained due to the prevailing structural and institutional characteristics of their economies. Income from external sources is dependent or factors beyond the control of the villagers. However, the attraction of investment and income from outside

have a potential for improving the income and making multiplier 'effects in the village areas and
can be used to solve their problems to a larger extent. Most of the present inflows of incomeaccumulate in a few hands who do not have that much interest in investing them in the village.
of that nat
Finally, the study shows that these village areas as significant as a unit for analysing the transactions and income flows of rural economies. Furthermore, if the suitable procedure and feasible projects are identified, the village areas can be considered as viable units of the plan implementation. This would have to be supplemented by further investigations into the necessary change in the spatial and institutional structure of rural areas.

The project investigates the causes of mental disability; the nature of the problem of mentally retarded children in Sri Lanka and the steps taken by the Government and the private sector to rectify this; the nature of the educational system which should be adopted and the manner in which the environment influences the development of motor abilities.
The investigation will involve case studies of residential students of the Sukhitha school at Galpatha and the students of the school at Chitra Lane, Colombo
5. Information will be obtained through observation of the children and participation in their educational activities, by interviewing those involved with such activities and by use of relevant documents. The researcher also hopes to compare institutionalized and non-institutionalized mentally retarded children with the children attending these schools. It is "hoped that as a result of this
study, it would be possible to ascertain whether such individuals can be made to take part in development activities and to discover methods by which their special abilities can be developed.

Three main types of Savanna Ecosystems have been identified in Sri Lanka - the upland 'Talawa', lowland 'Damana' and the seasonally flooding 'Willu'. All three types are confined to the Dry Zone; None has yet been studied with reference to their flow of energy and productivity.
The proposed study is based on the delimitation and analysis of different Savanna Communities with special reference to ecological status of bio-mass (including vegetation).
The tree species in the upland Savanna provides raw material for Agro-based industries but the collection of such material is reminiscent of destructive gathering. It is expected to cover this aspect in the present study with a view to develop ecologicaly sound land use patterns.
Sri Lanka being fundamentally an agricultural country, special emphasis paid to the conservation of soil and forest resources is of paramount importance in our national
development effort. Personnel trained in this field are needed urgently, and this study would contribute to the satisfaction of this National need.

A large proportion of the population in Sri Lanka is engaged in peasant agriculture; which is dominated by cultivation of paddy and other subsidiary food crops under irrigation from village tanks. There are over q0,000 minor tanks in this country and the area under irrigation from these tanks is more than 250,000 acres. In this context the minor tanks are of substantial importance to the economy of most purana villages in the dry zone of Sri Lanka. Moreover, when compared with the large scale irrigation systems, the rehabilitation of minor tanks will prove to be less expensive. However, these tanks are rainfed and cannot obtain water from the large irrigation systems such as the Mahaweli Project due to their geographic locations. In this study it is planned to conduct a survey in the Anuradhapura district during the Yala and Maha seasons selecting a sample of ten minor tank villages. Data will be collected on the various aspects relating to agriculture & irrigation.
A sample of 300 farmers from ten villages in the Anuradhapura district will be involved in this study.

Report.
Planning, as any other decisionmaking process, needs an information base to be relevant and effective. The need of planning at the national level have led to the development of highly compartmentalised and centralised information systems. Information flows tend to be vertical and upward rather than lateral in these information systems which are, therefore, not suitable for local level planning. Local level planning calls for not only different types of information but also for a different organization of information.
This study explores some of the information implications of the change in approach to planning from central to local level. It examines the information needs for local level planning, the current availability of information and tries te identify information gaps. The study also presents a model for

This study has examined the extent to which higher education : has been effective in achieving. three important 'goals viz. economic development, social equity and political socialisation in Sri Lanka. The study was carried out on a cohort of arts graduates two years after graduation. Interviews and a questionnaire were utilised for data collection. The analysis revealed an abscence of social equity both at the level of secondary schooling and in achieved socio-economic status. They confirmed the first four hypothesis, that social Origins continue to influence the educational and occupational careers of the graduates. As indicators of the effectiveness of higher education in contributing to economic development, the levels of employment and malemployment were examined. The findings indicated a relatively

I UM
high degree of ineffective gearing of higher education to economic development thus confirming hypothesis five. Effectiveness in achieving the goal of political socialisation was evaluated by examining the responses of the graduates against the anticipated political outcomes of education. The findings revealed a high degree of political alienation which supported hypothesis six. In all the three aspects evaluated Arts higher education in Sri Lanka appeared to have failed to achieve its goals and therefore was ineffective. Finally the significance of the above findings for educational policy was discussed and their potential for future research was · explored.

The primary objective of this study was to estimate output supply and fertilizer demand elasticities for paddy in Sri Lanka.
The profit function approach was used in the analysis. Two functional forms viz., Cobb-Douglas and translog were estimated. The translog form was of statistical superiority and permitted a disaggregated analysis of farm production structure compared to the Cobb-Douglas formulation. Less stringent restrictions of translog form allowed measurements of the different impact that exogeneous variables have within and across output supply and input demand functions.
The analysis revealed that farmers were allocatively efficient and maximized profits with respect to variable inputs given their technology and resource base. The estimate parameters were inelastic. The estimated own price elasticity of I demand for fertilizer and output supply elasticity of paddy were 0.16 and 0.15 respectively. The demand elasticities of variable inputs viz. fertilizer and hired labour were symmetric with respect to paddy price and own price.

This study investigates the factors determining People's participation in rural development through the Sarvodaya Shramadana Societies when compared to Rural Development Societies.
The survey was conducted in thrée agricultural villages in the Hambantota district, Sri Lanka. In collecting data, special emphasis was given to member participation in projects undertaken by each respective organization. By analysing the behavioural patterns of the participants an attempt was made to investigate the factors affecting the success or failure of the Sarvodaya Shramadana Society.
In the two types of societies, differences were observed regarding the socio-economic characteristics of the members, mode of their participation and stages of this participation. Factors affecting success or failure were found to be effectiveness of leadership, possible linkages with other organiations, Socioeconomic conditions of the members and tendencies and constraints in

hading Prestructurettlements,
Within the principles that a well--managed shanty/squatter upgrading project optimizes the existing infrastructure, maximizes resources within the settlements, and provides assistance/incentives to the residents in recognition of their being responsible members of the community, this study aims at identifying the most appropriate model for shanty upgrading in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Synthesizing the range of information from various sources involved two types of analysis: Analysis of the situation relative to the project and analysis of the situation relative to the Sri Lankan context. Three case study areas were selected on the basis of their unique characteristics and each one being analyzed based

on the standard procedure recommended by the Slim and Shanty Upgrading unit of the Urban Development Authority (UDA). Serious management flows, viz., coordination, feedback-monitoring, selection or project components, resources management (e.g. labour, time, money and people), etc. were observed in both projects at Aluthmawathar- and Henemuila; whereas at the project at Kirillapone some management; problems observed were of minor importance, viz., documentation, stock storage control and staff size. Recommendations made in this study will throw light on further improvements and future research in this sector. The study concludes that the Kirillapone. project is the most appropriate
model for shanty upgrading projects in Colombo.

This study points out that poor people living in slum and shanty settlements in the city of Colombo are mainly engaged in activities in the informal sector which has become an inseparable part of the urban life. The income they earn is spent solely on food. To rectify this situation employment with better income has been recommended in this study. It has been proposed to foster individual enterprises by providing facilities in credit, skills training and marketing outlets. Seconâly, a co-operative enterprise is proposed as a settlement enterprise in which, it expected, that shanty dwellers will take an active role,

This is a village level study concerned with the living conditions of women in a fishing community. The study contains two parts of which the first part reviews the role and status of women in development in general and the second part examines the income generation activities of the wives of fishermen. The selected area for the study is Rekawa village in the Hambantota district of Sri Lanka which is one of the less. developed areas in the country. The study shows that coral collecting was the major preoccupation of women in this fishing village until it was prohibited by the Government. The author has pointed out that although a fish preservation project has been proposed as a substitute it will not be as profitable as coral collection.
