The Department of Divineguma will revert to the Department of Samurdhi when an amendment to the Divineguma Act, No. 1 of 2013 is introduced in Parliament shortly.

The Cabinet approved the proposal by Minister of Social Empowerment and Welfare, S.B. Dissanayake, to change the name from Devineguma to Samurdhi last week.

The Samurdhi Authoirty was established in 1995 and replaced by the Devineguma Department in 2015.
