About 100,000 recipients of Sri Lanka's Samurdhi welfare programme will soon be able to access Samurdhi-related services through rural "Nenasala" IT outlets, currently numbering approximately 600, as part of the e-Samurdhi project, presently at the software installation stage; according to a statement by the country's Information and Communication Technology Agency (ICTA).

Further, again according to ICTA's statement, "[through] this any Samurdhi recipient will be able to build up relationship with the Samurdhi Authority from wherever s/he is.

This will also enable the Samurdhi beneficiary to inform the Samurdhi Authority not only about the problems s/he faces but also about the benefits and privileges s/he obtains as a Samurdhi recipient".
