Naidu said the financial literacy is important for every individual irrespective of age, gender and social economic status. “When we empower every citizen, we can ensure a powerful economic future for India,” he said. “Our government has started a mission for the elimination of poverty in urban areas and also set target of training two million Self Help Group (SHG) members across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to educate them about financial concepts of borrowings, investments, financial planning and digital financial tools,” he said. Adding that women empowerment is the main pillar for the development in the country, Naidu said, “To encourage women’s for self-employment, the government has introduced ‘Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana’ and skill development programmes. So I hope by few years India will be the third biggest economic country in the world.” Naidu stressed the need to train rural women about digital technologies to promote and sell their products and also to ensure the proper investment of their earnings.
