The Point Pedro Institute has produced a series of working papers on current development and political issues in Sri Lanka.The Institute describes its founding principles as follows:
The primary objective of the PPID is to empower the people of Eastern and Northern Provinces to emerge out of serfdom towards freedom. It is a multidisciplinary research institution promoting cross fertilisation of concepts, ideas, and methodologies drawing from various social sciences. The primary focus area of PPID is the Eastern and Northern Provinces of Sri Lanka. In addition, research studies focused nationally and regionally (South Asia) would also be undertaken. The core value of PPID is equality of opportunity irrespective of one’s caste, class, ethnicity, gender, regional origin, or religion. PPID would also strive to be multi-ethnic and multi-gender in all its pursuits reflecting the characteristic of the Eastern and Northern Provinces.
