The National Securities Depository Ltd. (NSDL) has launched an online investment awareness programme for college students with the aim to demystify jargons and clarify concepts of investing.
A Union government’s initiative, it will serve as a beginners’ guide and will be offered in eight languages. Among the colleges that have tied up across 75 cities are Loyola College, Chennai; Varuvan Vadivelan Institute of Technology, Dharmapuri; Bon Secours College for Women, Thanjavur; and PSR Engineering College in Sivakasi / Virudhunagar.
Known as “Market ka Eklavya – Express”, the five-hour programme is an initiative to commemorate India’s 75 years of Independence. NSDL’s managing director and CEO Padmaja Chunduru said: “In this A mrit kaal, our digital education initiative focuses on building a path towards financial freedom for our youth, symbolising the spirit of Atmanirbhar Bharat.”
