The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), which has kicked off its programme on financial education among school and college students in Karnataka on a pilot basis, is keen on extending the programme to Orissa.
RBI wants to introduce this programme in Orissa in collaboration with the state government. RBI Governor D Subbarao had offered to roll out the programme during his meeting with the state chief minister Naveen Patnaik in December 2009.
“We are awaiting the response of the state government to start the programme”, said Kaza Sudhakar, regional director of RBI-Bhubaneswar.
RBI, which is observing its Platinum Jubilee this year, is on a drive for inclusion of financial education in the course curriculum of schools and colleges.
Financial literacy is needed among all sections of the society including the school children as RBI aims at 100 per cent financial inclusion in the country, stated Sudhakar.
