Background and the contextual issues for creating the need of the FinLit Cell
About Cell:
An Initiative to spread the basics of financial education among financial illiterates. It was founded by a group of motivated teachers of our institute and students who wanted to make an impact through community outreach programmes. It aims at making communities equipped enough to manage financial resources and services effectively through community engagement, workshops, seminars and discussions.
It also aims at imparting financial knowledge amongst college students with special focus on undergraduates through various surveys, competitions and workshops.
We cover topics like crypto currency, NFTs, mutual funds, shares, bonds, digital gold and many more. We connect with various colleges, collaborate with financial institutes, conduct financial workshops and disseminate financial information.

2) To create financial awareness and empowerment through financial literacy programmes
3) To work in collaboration with the national and international institutes promoting the financial literacy
4) To prepare appropriate financial literature for the target groups
