Over  time,  the  project’s  partnership  team  has
           developed several new initiatives to meet the targets of
           the  project  including  teaming  up  with  university
           administrations  across  Pakistan  to  organize  on-
           campus “Financial Literacy Galas”. The main objective
           of  these  Galas  is  to  give  students  an  opportunity  to
           know  about  financial  markets,  financial  institutions,
           financial products & services available in the market. During the Gala the team invites various banks to setup
           kiosks/  stalls  to  display  relevant  material  several  guest  speaker’s/market  experts  are  also  invited  to  deliver
           presentations on the financial inclusion and financial literacy landscape of Pakistan and efforts of SBP in this
           regard.

           In the last six months, 5 galas have been arranged in various cities of Pakistan and in every gala the project team
           formally invited 5 banks to establish kiosks for bank account opening and to further explain key features and
           benefits of their respective products and services to the students & suitable financial products available for the
           students and their families. The galas were conducted in Karakoram International University- Gilgit Baltistan,
