Uttarakhand: RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra visits financial literacy camp in Sahaspur

RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra visits CRISIL Foundation's financial literacy camp in Sahaspur, Uttarakhand, empowering SHG members and promoting financial inclusion.

"He encouraged people to enhance financial awareness, work towards prosperity, and ensure long-term financial stability. - Sanjay Malhotra"

Sahaspur, April 27

Reserve Bank of India Governor Sanjay Malhotra on Monday visited a financial literacy camp organised by the CRISIL Foundation at its Centre for Financial Literacy in Sahaspur.

The camp was held for members of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) from the gram panchayats of Bhopalpani, Badasi, and Soda Sarauli in Dehradun district.

On the occasion, he emphasised the importance of financial literacy and spoke about empowering citizens. He encouraged people to enhance financial awareness, work towards prosperity, and ensure long-term financial stability. He also urged them to take advantage of various pension and insurance-related social schemes offered by the Government of India.

He called upon CFL officials to intensify their efforts to educate all sections of society, especially those living in remote and underserved areas, to ensure financial inclusion. The Governor of the apex bank also encouraged participants to share the knowledge gained during such camps with their family members, friends, and neighbours. During the visit, he interacted with members of the Self-Help Groups as well.

At the camp, Business Correspondents (BCs) provided several services, including basic banking facilities. Counters were also set up for coin exchange and note exchange.

A mobile ATM van was available at the venue, and some SHGs showcased their products, which the RBI Governor appreciated and took a keen interest in.

Good to see the Governor interacting directly with SHG members. But I wish they would also focus on digital literacy along with financial literacy. Many women in these groups still struggle with smartphones and online banking. Still, a step in the right direction. ✨

This is exactly what the banking system needs to do - reach the last mile. With mobile ATMs and coin exchange counters, they're addressing real problems. Many elderly people in villages still prefer cash and coins. Good initiative by RBI and CRISIL. 👏

I appreciate the Governor's message about sharing knowledge with family and neighbours. Financial literacy in India often stops at the individual level. If every SHG member teaches even one more person, the ripple effect could be huge. Pension and insurance schemes are especially important for rural women. 🌟

Sir ji, it's good that the Governor visited, but these camps need to happen more frequently, not just once in a blue moon when a big official visits. Also, ensure that the Business Correspondents are trained well and don't overcharge villagers for basic services. Real change happens when systems are sustainable. 🤔

So heartwarming to see the RBI Governor taking keen interest in the products made by SHGs! Women in villages are so talented - from pickles to handicrafts, they make amazing things. If banks can also help them with small loans and market linkages, it would be a game changer for rural entrepreneurship. 🪡🧵
