1- E-SRI LANKA: TRANSFORMING GOVERNMENT, BUSINESS AND SOCIETY 

Sri Lanka is on the cusp of a transformative change, one that will
bring about a new wave of social and economic development built on a
peaceful, equitable foundation. Sharing a strong belief in ICT as an
enabler of development and as a key determinant of the competitive
advantage of nations, the Government, private sector and other
stakeholders within Sri Lanka have developed a vision for an 'e-Sri
Lanka' - a vision that will bring the benefits of ICT to every
village, to every citizen, to every business and will revolutionize
the way Government operates. Check out the DG feature on e-Sri Lanka:
