It is important for students to gain knowledge of finance and how financial markets work to support the growth of society, district collector Navjot Khosa said.
She was speaking on Saturday at a program organized by the Treasury Department’s Department of Investment and Public Property Management (DIPAM) in conjunction with Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav.
Financial education would bring great benefits to the students in their future life. It would point them in the right direction and help them make a decision about investing in their future, the Collector said.
Earlier, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman opened online a day-long conference on the same topic in 75 cities across the country, including Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi.
“1991 changed the nature of public wealth management, marking a shift in direction towards a focus on core areas and reduced public sector involvement. This opening of the private sector drove investment and encouraged start-ups. This change and strategic divestment was to improve efficiencies and increase returns, allowing players to compete with each other,” she said.
ASAP Chairman and CEO Usha Titus; District Development Commissioner and CEO of Smart City, Thiruvananthapuram, Vinay Goel; Head of Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology Shijumon CS; and former CEO of Technopark G. Vijayaraghavan; were present.
