Learning activity details
In today's complex world, young people need a wide range of skills and knowledge to make informed choices. Financial literacy is an important life skill for the holistic development of each student. We need to impart it early to make our future generations financially savvy to meet their goals.
This financial literacy project was done for helping students be money smart. Technological tools are used to engage students in matters linked to money in fun and creative ways and to reinforce the learning through ‘doing’. Students were given real hands-on experience of having to manage their money so that issues around money become real rather than theoretical.
Students were made aware of working of banking, budgeting, investing, saving, borrowing etc. They were encouraged to start early and inculcate financial discipline in them. Lot of activities were incorporated in project to stimulate creativity and innovation in students and also to equip them with skills required for Accessing and Analyzing Information for better financial decisions.
This project is done on a premise that if financial literacy is taught during the formative student years, it becomes the foundation of a brighter and better financial future for our budding entrepreneurs, visionaries and thought leaders of tomorrow.
