State Signs MoU with NSE to Enhance Financial Skills and Career Opportunities for Students

The Higher Education Department signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) to introduce financial literacy courses for college and university students. 

Minister Suryabanshi Suraj stated that the MoU is intended to enhance students' skills with a focus on financial literacy and employability. Under the agreement, two courses will be offered: a 20-hour Level I course covering fundamental financial concepts, and a more advanced 30-hour Level II course. Both courses will be provided free of cost to students.

The minister announced that the newly introduced courses will not only strengthen students’ financial literacy but also empower them to make informed decisions in the financial markets. “This partnership is expected to open up new employment opportunities for students within the financial sector. Those who successfully complete the courses will receive certification from the NSE,” Suraj added.

He further stated that students from diverse academic backgrounds including arts, science, commerce, and various undergraduate programmes are eligible to enrol. The courses aim to expand their career prospects and enhance employability. Drawing on the framework of the National Education Policy-2020, the initiative is designed to equip students with vital technical skills, contributing to the overall development of the state’s education sector.
