According to the Public Enterprises Guidance of Good Governance by the Department of Public Enterprises, Ministry of Finance and the requirements of the UGC, having a corporate plan is essential for an institution. A Corporate Plan incorporates strategies regarding the future direction of the University. For this reason, it is vital that the Corporate Plan should be realistic and attainable, if actual performance is to be in line with fixed targets. It also reflects the commitment by senior management to the future prospects of the Institute.

The essential need for a separate unit for Corporate Plan was recognized. Accordingly, the Strategic Planning Unit was ceremonially established by the Vice-Chancellor on November 10th, 2014 at Eastern University. At Trincomalee Campus, a Strategic Planning Unit exists with a Coordinator and a Research Assistant for smooth functioning of the campus. It was established to facilitate Strategic Planning, implementation of plans, and to follow good practices outlined in the Public Guidelines for Good Governance.
