The Sri Lankan government has taken an initiative in order to save the country's economy by giving its public sector employees official every Friday leave for three months so that they can grow crops for themselves.
This means that employees will work only for four days in a week and every Friday they will engage in some agricultural activity for their livelihood.
The move comes after the country continues to face a shortage crisis since many decades. The government approved the proposal keeping in mind that it would be a solution to the food shortages that are expected to occur in the future.
However, a week ago the United Nations also gave a warning of a "dire humanitarian crisis" and said that four out of five people in the nation of 22 million were forced to skip meals.

With the economic situation worsening in Sri Lanka, violent protests broke out in the island nation. Thousands of demonstrators converged near the President's residence in Lanka's capital.
Subsequently, the protests turned violent, with the people clashing with police, as per reports. Vandalism reportedly took place, with buses being set on fire.
Around 5,000 people were part of the protest demanding the resignation of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa. Demonstrators reportedly raised slogans asking the President and his family to "go home".
President Gotabaya Rajapaksa's elder brother Mahinda is PM, younger brother Basil is finance minister, nephew Namal is sports minister, while eldest brother Chamal is agriculture minister. The President was reportedly not at home during the protests.
Special Task Force, or STF, a paramilitary unit was reportedly deployed to control the protestors. Authorities used tear gas and water cannons to quell the violent demonstrations. Curfew was reportedly imposed in many parts.
A critical shortage of essential items has steadily been worsening in the island nation. On March 31, diesel was not available, leading to a 13-hour blackout, and affecting transport, as per reports. The electricity crisis impacted hospitals already reeling under a shortage of medicines. Even street lights had to be switched off to conserve power, as per reports.
The current crisis was reportedly sparked by Colombo banning imports in 2020 to conserve foreign currency to service burgeoning government debt. But this led to shortage of essentials, which caused a steep rise in prices.

As Karnataka struggles to procure vaccines, the state&rsquo;s&nbsp;Congress Committee chief DK Shivakumar appealed that the Centre allow his party to directly approach vaccine makers across the world.
Karnataka has suspended vaccination for 18-44 years age group from May 14 due to vaccine shortage. The state recently floated global tenders for jobs with regard to local manufacturing. Calling out the state for its tardiness, Shivakumar appealed the Centre and the state government to not only let Congress directly procure vaccines but also run inoculation drives.
The Congress leader shared his party&rsquo;s 100 crore plan saying the state unit has strategised to finance a drive with 90 crore from Congress MLA/MLC funds and 10 crore from the state unit&rsquo;s fund. The plan is to further raise money from public donations and administer jabs by parterning with hospitals and clinics. Shivakumar dared that his party could launch and run a successful drive better than the Modi-Yediyurappa government.
The Congress chief has also demanded that the Centre bear the entire cost of the national drive, owning to the financial burden that the states are facing due to the lockdowns.
