He said, "Financial literacy is the need of the hour today. Maharashtra Government, through the partnership between NSE and Moneybee, will strive to educate lakhs of people. This initiative will guide individuals in avoiding cyber frauds, raising awareness about Ponzi schemes, and providing guidance on where and how to invest."
Ashishkumar Chauhan, the MD & CEO of NSE, highlighted the collaborative journey that begins with this MoU and expressed their commitment to empower investors by providing them with relevant information for making better decisions.
Shivani Dani Wakhare, the Director of Moneybee Institute, praised the state government for taking concrete steps to initiate the financial literacy campaign. She stated, "Maharashtra has become the first state to actively launch a financial literacy campaign in such a comprehensive manner."
