National Development Policy Framework Vision, Mahinda Chintana 2011-2016. -

Adoption: 2010 | LKA-2010-M-94373

The Mahinda Chintana vision is based on the economic philosophy that the growth in Gross Domestic Product (GD P) alone would not bring economic prosperity to the society. The Mahinda Chintana Goal (MCG) is to increase the GD P to provide benefits to every segment of society in a justifiable manner. The creation of prosperity to the majority of the people who cannot purely rely on market based solutions requires connectivity through roads, electricity, telecommunications, information technology, education and health services. Hence, the development strategy relies not only on promoting investments on infrastructure based on commercial and economic returns but also on the creation of equitable access to such infrastructure development to enable people to engage in gainful economic activities.
