SUMMARY:Anti-Money Laundering: Safeguarding Nations and Shaping Careers
DESCRIPTION:Background\nMoney laundering poses a significant threat to the stability\, transparency\, and integrity of financial systems around the world. As countries strengthen their economic and governance frameworks\, understanding Anti-Money Laundering (AML) has become crucial—not only for policymakers and financial professionals but for all future contributors to society. For undergraduate students\, early exposure to AML concepts helps build awareness of financial ethics\, national security\, and the global impact of illicit financial activities. This awareness also opens doors to emerging career opportunities in a rapidly evolving sector that values diverse skill sets.\nProgram Overview\nThis two-hour AML Awareness Program seeks to introduce students to the foundations of Anti-Money Laundering\, its role in safeguarding economies\, and its relevance across various disciplines. The session aims to equip students with basic knowledge of how money laundering works\, why it is harmful\, and how global standards help countries fight financial crime.\nThe program also emphasizes the real-world consequences of inadequate AML compliance\, such as international greylisting. Students will gain insight into how greylisting affects a country’s trade\, investment climate\, financial reputation\, and long-term development goals.\nObjectives \n\nProvide students with a clear understanding of money laundering\, its stages\, and key AML principles\nHighlight the national and global implications of illicit financial flows.\nExplain the concept of greylisting and its economic\, political\, and social consequences.\nEncourage students to explore AML-related career pathways across varied disciplines.\nInspire a sense of responsibility toward building ethical\, transparent\, and resilient financial systems.\n\nTarget participants\nUndergraduate students across all academic disciplines\, including commerce\, engineering\, architecture\, social sciences\, law\, and information technology. \nKey Topics to be covered\nIntroduction to Money Laundering: Definition and real-world examples\, the three stages: Placement\, Layering\, Integration\nAML Frameworks and Global Standards: Role of international bodies\, importance of compliance and national AML systems.\nImpact of Money Laundering on Economies: Threats to financial stability\, effects on public trust and governance\, understanding grey listing and its consequences on trade\, investment\, and national reputation.\nAML as a Multidisciplinary Career Path: Engineers designing monitoring tools and analytics systems\, Architects developing secure operational structures\, Compliance professionals enforcing regulatory standards\, Investigators and analysts tracing suspicious transactions\, Technology and data science roles in fraud detection and risk assessment.

SUMMARY:Graphic Design Workshop and Contest
DESCRIPTION:1. Background & Rationale\nWith the rapid growth of the digital economy\, creative digital skills such as graphic design have become essential competencies for students. Early exposure to visual communication tools helps young learners develop creativity\, digital literacy\, and confidence in using ICT for expression and learning. \nDespite increasing access to digital tools\, many students—particularly girls—have limited opportunities to explore ICT-based creative fields in a structured and inspiring environment. Recognizing this gap\, Women in Information Technology (WIIT)\, in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Yala and Shree Bhanodaya Basic School\, proposes a two-day Graphic Design Orientation & Contest for Middle school students. \nThe program combines hands-on training with a friendly competition to motivate students to apply their learning while promoting important social themes such as Girls in ICT and Online Safety. \nVenue: Shree Bhanodaya Basic School (with Computer Facilities)\nParticipants: Middle School Students (Grades 9)\nDuration: 9 and half  hrs \nDay 1: 17th Jan 2025( 3rd Magh 2082) Full Day (10:00 AM -04:00 PM) \nDay 2: 18th Jan 2025 (4th Magh 2082) Morning (10:00 AM-01:00 PM)
