Anuradhapura Is The Largest District In Sri Lanka. P Addy Cultivation Is Dominant In Both Districts Of North Central Province. Even Though That Is In The Dry Zone, It Is A Prosperous Area. Being The Ancient Capitals There Are A Huge Number Of Irrigation Tanks And reservoirs in the province. We went to several villages and interview many farmers and other villagers.
