The lack of financial litracy in india is 27% according to SEBI and even though financial institutions have solutions in play they overlook the most basic of knowledge such as what are financial markets ? how do they operate?how does it affect economy ? why do they exist ? and so on , the NSE website has courses on markets but they too lack the part where all these questions are explained. So keeping this in mind I propose that authorized personnel make a course on these question and instead of putting them on the sites of financial institutions they should upload them to platforms like Swayam and NPTEL , doing this will give youth the chance to learn about basics of financial markets and in doing so the youth will also earn credit for their studies that would be reflected on their academic profile.
The challenge that is still a possiblity in my solution is that there maybe parents who do not want kids to study about financial markets and stop them to overcome this problem i have thought of adding the course to extra carricular in order to reward student with credit that contribute to their academic grades and in doing so i belive that parents would have no object to it.
