K. Sivagananathan memorial lecture on March 6
View(s):K. Sivagananathan Memorial Trust (KSMT) and the Association of Professional Bankers of Sri Lanka (APB) will hold its 11th annual K. Sivagananathan memorial oration and awards ceremony on March 6th in commemoration of the late Mr. Sivagananathan’s contribution to the banking sector.
An innovative banker, he contributed most to uplift, upgrade and grow to unprecedented heights through many new innovations in Sri Lanka’s premier state bank, the Bank of Ceylon and his tireless contribution to improve the standard of education in banking and finance in Sri Lanka to international standards.
Dr. Saman Kelegama, Executive Director of Institute of Policy Studies of Sri Lanka will deliver the memorial oration.
This year almost 40 students, who have obtained the highest marks in all three languages in the Diploma in Banking and Finance examination in March and September 2012 conducted by the Institute of Bankers of Sri Lanka (IBSL), will be awarded cash prizes and certificates.
The KSMT is a non-profit organization mainly dedicated to providing assistance to financially disadvantaged students pursuing higher studies in the field of banking and finance as well as encouraging students who excel in IBSL examinations to achieve a higher standard to be in par with the developed countries, which was one of late Mr. Sivagananathan’s wishes.
The KSMT has distributed over 550 cash prizes and certificates since 2002 to students who excelled in the banking exams conducted by the IBSL and has sponsored needy students to do the entire banking examination and also sponsored the gold medal to be awarded at the convocation of the institute.
