- Promote adoption and implementation of FATF recommendations

History 🤭
- 1989: 39 member body set up out of G7 meeting

A bit personal message from CSE Why

दोस्तों, आपको दिवाली की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएँ।

साल दर साल ये त्यौहार कुछ नया सीखा कर जाता है। पिछले साल तक मेरी दिवाली अकेले मनती थी जो अक्सर एक कमरे तक सीमित थी।

ईश्वर की असीम अनुकंपा से इस साल समय ने करवट ली और मुझे ये मौक़ा दिया कि मैं ये सौभाग्यशाली पर्व आप सभी के साथ साझा कर सकूँ। मेरा विश्वास मानिए, आप सभी का साथ मेरे लिए ख़ूब प्रेरणादायी है।

दोनों हाथ जोड़कर आपका सहृदय शुक्रिया।
एक बार फिर, दिवाली की हार्दिक बधाई।


Translation
Friends, wishing you best of Diwali.

Every year, this festival teaches something new. Till last year, I spent Diwali alone in my own room.

God’s grace pushed time to change this year giving me a chance to spend this auspicious festival with y’all. Your presence is inspirational to me.

With both my hands folded, I thank you from bottom of my heart for joining me. Once again, Happy Diwali :)

Friends, on auspicious occasion of Diwali, I have a good news for you.

For today, you can avail my Visual Notes for just ₹167/- (original price: ₹249/-)
