We launched this financial and digital literacy campaign in alignment with the Government of India’s national strategy for financial education. Under this campaign, our Raman Kant Munjal Foundation onboards and trains rural female volunteers, including educating them on government funded financial schemes available to those living in rural areas. Once trained, these volunteers provide door-to-door awareness in rural areas and promote the enrolment of rural residents in various governmental financial schemes. Since the inception of this campaign in Fiscal 2019, we have provided financial literacy sessions to almost 1.10 million beneficiaries at the grassroot level through this initiative, as at March 31, 2024.
