Kachcheri
Kachcheri or District Secretariat is the principle government department that administrates a district in Sri Lanka. Since there are 25 districts, there are 25 Kachcheri (one in each district).
The main tasks of the District Secretariat involve coordinating communications and activities of the central government and Divisional Secretariats. The District Secretariat is also responsible for implementing and monitoring development projects at the district level and assisting lower-level subdivisions in their activities,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=District Secretariat—Vavuniya )〕 as well as revenue collection and coordination of elections in the district. The head of a District Secretariat is the ''District Secretary'' also known as the Government Agent.
Kachcheri is a Hindustani word initially used for the Revenue Collector's Office in the early years of the British Colonial Administration in Ceylon.〔Wickramanayake, S S, The Management of Official Records in Public Institutions in Sri Lanka: 1802-1990, p 28, Unpublished PhD Thesis, University of London, 1992〕 (Sri Lanka) Revenue collection was a main feature of the Dutch pattern of colonial administration. In the first half of the 19th century, the British colonial administrators were able to move towards a more organised form of government with civil and revenue administration. Thus, the collector's office, which continued to be locally known as the ''kachcheri'' was converted into the Government Agent’s Office.〔 Even after the independence, kachcheri was retained as the district administrative centre and focal point of the provincial administration and placed it under a government agent.〔Wijeweera, B S, Colonial Administration System in Transition, Dehiwala (Colombo), Tissara Prakasakayo, 1984, p7〕 However, in 1987, the 13th Amendment to the Constitution of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka〔Parliament of Democratic Republic of Sri Lanka, Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, Certified on 14.11.1987, Published as a Supplement to Part II of the Gazette of the Democratic Socialist republic of Sri Lanka, 20.11.1981, Colombo, Govt. Print., 1987〕 made provisions for the establishment of Provincial Councils.〔Provincial Councils Act No 42 of 1987, 20.11.1987, Colombo, Govt. Print., 1987〕 Thus, the Provincial Council Administration which came into effect in January 1990 changed kachcheri administration which had remained unaltered since the first half of the 19th century.
