Aiming at 100 per cent financial literacy especially among the youth, BSE Institute Ltd (BIL) intends to extend its financial education programme to a larger population.
There is a ‘dire need‘ to impart financial education in the country, as India is going to be the largest and the youngest saving nation in the world, says Ambarish Datta, Managing Director and CEO, BIL.
Speaking to BusinessLine on the sidelines of a financial education programme here, Datta said BIL is now looking at new areas to extend its career-oriented financial education programme to the masses to make ‘India a financially healthy state’.
BIL currently offers 120 short-term courses to cater to the financial market needs of the people, ranging from one-day workshops to full-time post graduate programmes. States such as Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Kerala have evinced interest in imparting such courses to enhance the financial skills of the people, he said.
In Kerala, BIL has tied up with the Dubai based IBMC Group for professional financial education through new and specially designed courses. PK Sajith Kumar, Director and CEO, IBMC Financials Professionals Group said that BIL-IBMC Centre of Excellence had commenced in November last and in the first phase, the group was able to extend the benefits to covering 11 colleges under five universities.
