A workshop to promote land literacy and legal awareness was conducted on 28 June 2025 for members of the Beralaliya Community-Based Organization (CBO) in Welipitiya. The program aimed to strengthen participants’ understanding of land rights, legal procedures, and responsible land management.

Mr. Sandaruwan De Soysa, Land Officer from the Divisional Secretariat Office, Welipitiya, served as the resource person for the session. He provided clear guidance on topics such as land registration, transfer processes, dispute resolution, and government policies related to land use.

Participants engaged actively in the discussion, asking questions and clarifying issues relevant to their own land holdings. The workshop is part of broader efforts to empower rural communities with the knowledge needed to secure their land rights, promote sustainable land management, and reduce conflicts arising from unclear ownership or legal misunderstandings.
