Physical Features:-
One is stuck by her characteristic limestone fences ringing every compound and
running across for miles, and by the beauty of the palmyrah and the coconut plams
swaying so peacefully in the breeze. Go down to the south and one is greeted by
stretches of lagoons and pastural lands where there cattle graze and the horses
gallop. The glazing sun,the cool breeze, the sandy beaches, broken by coral stones
washed continuously by clear surf, is a beauty to watch. No wonder this island of
scenic beauty was developing into a tourist attraction.
Hinduism is the main religion of the island and very predominantly in the west.
There are also many catholics in Delft Centre and some in the East. There are
some protestants formerly of American Mission but presently amalgamated into the
Jaffna Diocese of the Church of South India, living mainly in Delft Centre

In the Nineteen Fifties and Sixties the colonisation scheme was started in the
Northern Provinces of Sri Lanka. This is the time many of the Delftians
disappeared into the jungles of Mannar and Vavuniya. These people took the
challenge, disappeared into the jungles, cleared the jungles and emerged as farmers
and land owners. They converted these lands into cultivatable, fertile lands and
grew paddy, chillies and other vegetables. They transformed the face of the land
and dominated the colonisation schemes and live in comparative prosperity and
contributed to the self sufficiency in food of Sri Lanka. Thanks to their efforts
There are good school but some go to the mainland for higher education. Large
numbers of people were teachers and civil servants in early days but with
improvement in educational facilities, many become professionals such as Doctors,
Engineers, Accountants and Consultants in various disciplines.
