The Gender Unit, PRIA is pleased to announce the launch of its Campaign Against Sexual Harassment through its website www.priacash.org. Through this Campaign we have attempted to provide all the relevant information on the issue of sexual harassment within the workplace as is aptly conveyed by the slogan "Sexual Harassment..No More". The Campaign is also an effort to highlight and keep alive the concept of making workplaces gender sensitive environments for all. We encourage all to visit this website and participate in this Campaign through its interactive forum, providing your experience and knowledge on the issue. |

“Prevention of Money Laundering Rules, 2009” |
Dear Members, Greetings from VANI! This mail is in continuation of my earlier mail dated 2nd December 2009, regarding inclusion of Non-Profit Sector in “Prevention of Money Laundering Rules, 2009”. The Reserve Bank of India has instructed banks to step up scrutiny of non-profit Organizations in line with these new changes. Accordingly, Banks will be required to maintain records of all transaction carried out by non-profit organizations exceeding Rs. 10 Lakh. I would like to advice you to get in touch with your Bankers and maintain/ provide relevant information. Thanking you Regards
