  • New premisses need for "Piliyandala" Centre

    The Prevention, Treatment and Rehabilitation Centre located at Piliyandala conducted under the purview of the National Dangerous Drugs Control Board provides residential treatment and counseling facilities to the male drug dependents under 20 years of age.

    Even though the inmates are provided with all the necessary facilities such as food, musical equipment, sports equipment and recreational tools the centre is faced with a difficulty of accommodating all the clients due to the limited amount of space available at the current location.

    The NDDCB is giving special focus and attention to the clients attached to this centre since it accommodates the blossoming youth, who are the dynamic and the prospective group of citizens, which is the future of the Nation and which could serve in taking the country’s development to new heights.

    Hence the National Dangerous Drugs Control Board earnestly appeals your generous spirit to join forces with us in this quest by providing a house/building in Colombo or suburbs to accommodate the inmates currently attached to the Piliyandala Centre.

    It would of course be a great National cause and a real meritorious deed since it for an endeavor directed towards guiding the future generation in the correct path and safeguarding their future.

    Your kind consideration and cooperation in this regard is highly valued and appreciated.
