President Dissanayake stated that modernising Sri Lanka's surveying capabilities is integral to realising the nation's development ambitions. Speaking at the 100th Annual Conference of the Government Surveyors' Association, he assured the professional body that the administration stands ready to furnish the resources necessary for establishing an efficient, technology-enabled surveying infrastructure.
The President's remarks underscored the government's recognition of surveying as a foundational discipline for national progress. Accurate land measurement and spatial data collection are critical prerequisites for infrastructure development, urban planning, and resource management across the country.
The centennial gathering of the Government Surveyors' Association provided a platform for the President to engage directly with surveying professionals and reaffirm the administration's commitment to strengthening the sector. The commitment to modern technological integration signals the government's intention to elevate surveying standards and enhance service delivery nationwide.
The initiative aligns with broader development strategies aimed at improving governance frameworks and technical capacity across public institutions. Enhanced surveying capabilities are expected to support land administration, disaster risk reduction, and infrastructure planning initiatives currently underway.
