Although the British abolished the colonial caste-based compulsory labor (Rajakari Kramaya) during their rule and ushered in Sri Lanka's transition to capitalism, the legacy of caste persists at an ideological level, influencing social status, power relations, and individual worldviews. This study investigates the contemporary forms of social stratification at the regional level, focusing on an area that played a key role in the development of Sri Lanka's capitalist system. Through participant observation, interviews, and the use of relevant written sources, the research reveals a regional stratification model built around dominant castes. This model is characterized by layered social groups differentiated by factors like profession, wealth, power, and respect, forming distinct status circles within the region.

The study used a mixed-method approach. The qualitative and quantitative data were gathered by using primary and secondary sources. Primary data was collected through structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The sample size consisted of 80 respondents. Secondary data was collected from books, research reports, official reports, journal articles, newspapers, websites, etc. The SPSS was used to analyze quantitative data. The content analysis and thematic analysis were used to analyze the qualitative data, and they were presented using texts, narratives, tables, charts, and figures. The study found that as a result of social media, women are now able to speak for themselves and express their political opinions. A key role played by social media in enhancing political changes and women's literacy in using technological equipment was the reason behind these factors. The study also highlighted that, it is also important to ensure gender equality and establish networks, websites, and a pool of candidates on special platforms through appropriate policies. The study finally found that Sri Lanka can increase women's political participation by strengthening its cyber security law and advocating them.

It affects on day-to-day activities of citizens at the grassroots level. Generally, types of public goods and services and the way services are delivered by LG are frequently changing in the context of people’s expectation, changes in the technology, scientific innovation, availability of resources, and challenges that emerge either internally or externally. Though, several attempts had been taken to enhance service delivery of LG through continuous technical and financial assistance in Sri Lanka during last two decades, in most cases service receivers were socially excluded or faced problems in getting basic goods and service from the LG. This situation has emerged due to a number of factors such as shortage of sufficient and competence human racecourses, inconsistency politics, unclear powers and functions to undertake service delivery, poor public-private partnership, inadequate financial resources, inaccessibility to community for services, and poor public participation. Therefore, this study attempts to explore the challenges of LG service delivery in Sri Lanka. In view of this, newly constituted Matara Municipal Council was selected as a case study. Through this case, researcher tried to find the answers to research questions of what are the challenges faced by MMC in terms of better service delivery? And how MMC would overcome its challenges and what innovations and strategies would work to deliver the better service to the public. The study also tested hypothesis of constitutional and legal framework, consistency politics, institutional capacity and service delivery mechanism built up by public-private partnership at the micro level can ensure the better service delivery. The study was largely guided by the service delivery models especially decentralization service delivery model and alternative service delivery model (multi-level governance model). Using these two models, researcher identified following as crucial variables affecting the better service delivery at the lower levels of government: (a) constitutional and legal framework, (b) consistency politics, (c) institutional capacity, and (d) service delivery mechanism. Taking these variables as an independent variables, analytical framework had been developed. This framework analysis what are the challenges faced by MMC in terms of better service delivery? And how MMC would overcome its challenges and what innovations and strategies would work to deliver the better service to the public? The study was based on both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Qualitative and quantitative data was gathered by using primary and secondary sources, and data was presented using texts, tables, chats and figures. The major findings of the study is that though as a decentralized LG institution, MMC implemented several strategies and innovations, has developed partnership with the private sector and enhanced the public participation in the health service delivery process, it failed to ensure the better health service delivery to the public. The main factor for that it doesn’t has an appropriate constitutional and legal framework, institutional capacity, service delivery mechanism built up by public-private partnership and mutual understand between national and local political leadership. This situation leaded to emerge the various challenges in health service delivery include shortage of sufficient and competence human racecourses, inconsistency politics, unclear powers and functions to undertake the health service delivery, poor public-private partnership, inadequate financial resources, inadequate physical resources, inaccessibility to community for health services, and poor public participation. For the sustainability of health service delivery at the grassroots level, the study recommends mobilizing public to participate in health service delivery, introduction of new strategies and innovations, filling vacancies and enhancing competency of the staff, regularizing the Internal Auditing Mechanism, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the health service delivery through Five Year Plan and enhancing Public-Private Partnership in health service delivery.

Objectives of the study are, to identify the significance of informal women entrepreneur's role in livelihood development of family, to understand socioeconomic potentialities of informal women entrepreneurs and to determine gender barriers in formation of women entrepreneurs. Study was carried out in Sella Kataragama in 2010. Data were collected through structured questionnaire and semi-structured interview. The study sample was consisted of 60 entrepreneurs. Study revealed that women are engaging in divers of business as informal entrepreneurs than men. More women entrepreneurs are performing their entrepreneur role parallel to domestic role and they generate additional income to the family. Study further revealed that women are motivated to entrepreneurship by several factors. Among them, easy to managing the domestic role and business, achieving social recognition, escaping from dependency, and satisfying with minimum profit and utilizing self knowledge and skills are significant. Traditional stereotyped gender role at home and the perception of lack of social security can be identified as major barriers that discourage women entrepreneurs.

Another feature of the new approach was the emphasis ondecentralized planning and greater opportunities provided for rural development.District Development Councils (DDCs), Divisional Development Councils (Div. DCs)Agricultural Productivity Committees (APCs), Cultivation Committees and People'sCommittees, District Political Authority and Decentralized Budget were some of theimportant initiatives for the promotion of rural development (Perera, 1999, Lietan, 1979& Wijeweera, 1994). Theoretically, the above institutional framework, thus established covering thethree sub national levels, i.e. the district, division and the village, provided ampleopportunities and a broad base for local participation in decision-m...

Within the existing sociological and anthropological literatures on Buddhism's changes in Sri Lanka, the present paper intended on analyzing the impact of Christian teachings on Buddhist religious pantheon as related to the legend of God Sakra at present social context. According to Buddhist teachings, an individual is provided with positive consequences depending on his/her meritorious actions and demerits depending on his/her evil actions. This is a fundamental principle in the Buddhist philosophy. The concept of merit-sin (Pin-paw) is based on this fundamental principle. There is no Buddhist teaching on chasing or flushing of sin. Nevertheless, there is an organized religious cult with ritual performing to god Sakra at Kataragama new Lakshmi shrine which is believed to be influencing the devotees to believe in flushing or canceling their sins in this world. The God Sakra is...

Initially, Sinhala, Tamil and Muslims leaders worked together for re-waking the local cultures. The ethnic harmony was collapsed in post independent period, due to the decisions of local elite who were in power. The legislative acts as citizenship defining, Sinhala only and education standardization created uneven opportunities for ethnicminority groups as Tamil, and Muslims mainly. The research problem is that, why society emphasizes more on emotional historical values based on ethnicity; even states want to construct one nation, one country. The research questions are why do government policies not have strength on changing the attitude of pressure groups in society and follow the integration polices? And why people from different ethnic communities do interviews, focused not drive their attention on cooperation? The data is found from primary and seco...

The Study was mainly based on primary and secondary sources.Primary data was collected from semi-structured interviews. Sample size was consisted of thirty five respondents including District Secretary, seven Divisional Secretary belonging to the Kotapola, Pitabeddara, Akuressa, Athuruliya, Kamburupitiya, Malimbada and ThihagodaDivisional Secretariats, eight Gama Niladari, two officials from Disaster Management Coordination Unit,ten households to get their insights about the traditional methods used by people and two civil society leaders.Collected data from different sources, as mentioned above was analyzed using qualitative methods. The study found that sand mining, population rise, using the river for daily needs such as drinking, bathing, washing clothes and fishing, unauthorized buildings in the river bank, scrub jungles, slow flowing of river are the major causes of the human-crocodile conflict in Nilwala river area. The study further found that Piladuwa, Fort and Thihagodare the most vulnerable areas for human-crocodile conflict. "Kimbulkotuwa" or Crocodile Excluding Enclosure (CEEs) is a main method used to mitigate the human-crocodile conflict in this area.

The study was largely guided by the service delivery models especially decentralization service delivery model and alternative service delivery model (multi-level governance model). Using these two models, researcher identified following as crucial variables affecting the better service delivery at the lower levels of government: (a) constitutional and legal framework, (b) consistency politics, (c) institutional capacity, and (d) service delivery mechanism. Taking these variables as an independent variables, analytical framework had been developed. This framework analysis what are the challenges faced by MMC in terms of better service delivery? And how MMC would overcome its challenges and what innovations and strategies would work to deliver the better service to the public? The study was based on both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Qualitative and quantitative data was gathered by using primary and secondary sources, and data was presented using texts, tables, chats and figures.
The major findings of the study is that though as a decentralized LG institution, MMC implemented several strategies and innovations, has developed partnership with the private sector and enhanced the public participation in the health service delivery process, it failed to ensure the better health service delivery to the public. The main factor for that it doesn’t has an appropriate constitutional and legal framework, institutional capacity, service delivery mechanism built up by public-private partnership and mutual understand between national and local political leadership. This situation leaded to emerge the various challenges in health service delivery include shortage of sufficient and competence human racecourses, inconsistency politics, unclear powers and functions to undertake the health service delivery, poor public-private partnership, inadequate financial resources, inadequate physical resources, inaccessibility to community for health services, and poor public participation. For the sustainability of health service delivery at the grassroots level, the study recommends mobilizing public to participate in health service delivery, introduction of new strategies and innovations, filling vacancies and enhancing competency of the staff, regularizing the Internal Auditing Mechanism, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the health service delivery through Five Year Plan and enhancing Public-Private Partnership in health service delivery.
