The announcement was made at the founding conference of the International Solar Alliance in New Delhi, to which Sri Lankan president Maithripala Sirisena travelled this week.

Half of the amount has been tabled for setting up rooftop solar panels in government schools, colleges, hospitals and other government buildings on the island.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
