Sarvodaya Movement
In March 2022, PLANT and WNPS signed a collective MOU with the Sarvodaya
Shramadana Movement, Sri Lanka’s most broadly embedded community-based
development organization network. Sarvodaya works with 26 district centres, 325
divisional centres and over 3,000 legally independent village societies in districts across the
country ( www.sarvodaya.org ). Along with WNPS, the three parties will work closely on
several conservation initiatives and efforts. The partnership brought in many Acres of
land under PLANT coverage and these efforts include working together to protect and
further develop the forest eco system and biodiversity, carry out research, assess progress,
publish findings, and conduct training programmes to educate communities from Sarvodaya and neighboring villages to ensure sustainability, among other areas.
