The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) is promoting financial literacy among school students across India. The initiative was highlighted by S. Ranganathan, Vice-President of NSE, at the GITAM Excellence Meet (GEM-25) held at GITAM Deemed to be University on Friday.
Ranganathan, the chief guest at the event, emphasised the collaborative efforts between the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and NSE Academy in implementing a certification programme in Financial Market Management (FMM) for students in Classes IX and X. This programme, introduced under the National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) at Levels 1 and 2, provides a blend of theoretical and practical learning to equip young students with crucial financial literacy skills.
“Financial literacy is a vital life skill,” stated Ranganathan, highlighting NSE Academy’s extensive collaborations with Indian universities, private institutions, and government bodies. He announced that over 4.8 million students nationwide have received NSE certifications through various programmes, establishing these certifications as industry benchmarks for financial market expertise.
Prof. Raja P Pappu, Dean of GITAM School of Business, discussed the university’s ongoing partnership with NSE Academy in offering specialised financial programmes at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. He also revealed plans to incorporate additional financial education subjects into the curriculum with NSE’s support, stressing GITAM’s commitment to preparing students for successful careers in the financial sector.
The GEM-25 event provided a valuable platform for students and faculty to gain insights into the importance of financial literacy and NSE Academy’s contribution to developing financial market expertise among young people.
