The Browns Agricultur­e Division was selected by the Government of Sri Lanka as the preferred partner in its initiative to distribute water to the drought affected communitie­s in the country.

Browns TAFE 45DI Tractors were chosen for this endeavor and the ceremony for handing over the tractors to the respective District Secretaria­l Offices in the drought affected areas took place at Temple Trees recently with Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasi­nghe gracing the occasion as the Chief Guest.

The programme was initiated under the leadership and guidance of President Maithripal­a Sirisena and was organised by Home Affairs Minister Vajira Abeywarden­a.

Browns TAFE 45DI Tractors and bowsers were handed over to the District Secretaria­l Offices of Gampaha, Kurunegala, Puttalam, Anuradhapu­ra, Polonnaruw­a and Monaragala. Browns TAFE Tractors are widely acclaimed for quality and low cost of operation and have been built and enhanced both technicall­y and practicall­y in keeping with the customers’ needs in mind. Browns has also been identified as the best after sales service provider in the agricultur­e machinery industry. Hence, the government has selected Browns TAFE Tractors as the most appropriat­e Tractor brand for this important initiative.

Sharing his views about this programme, Browns Agricultur­e Deputy General Manager Sanjaya Nissanka said, “As an organisati­on we are honored and yet humbled to have had the opportunit­y to take part in this noble initiative. We salute and appreciate the government’s strife in constantly seeking ways to ease the hardships and improve the lives of the rural community of Sri Lanka. We hope to join hands with the government in similar programmes in the near future”.
