In partnership with the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), Village Development Centre (VDC) embarked on a mission to empower rural communities through Financial Literacy Awareness Workshops. These workshops aimed to provide essential financial education to rural residents, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to make informed financial decisions and participate in government insurance schemes, including the Prime Minister's JhanDhanYojana (PMJD).
To ensure the effectiveness of these workshops, VDC enlisted experienced trainers to guide participants. Mr.Ramanathan, a retired Indian Overseas Bank (IOB) official from SNEHA, Trichy, and Mrs. S. Padma, Secretary of Vasantham Pengal Sangam, Manachanallur, shared their expertise and insights.
A key focus of these workshops was to educate participants about government insurance schemes, particularly the Prime Minister's JhanDhanYojana (PMJD). Understanding the benefits of these schemes and how to enrol in them is essential for financial security.
VDC's commitment to community engagement was evident in the workshops conducted in villages such as Kanyakudi, Keelapatti, Konalai, Chennakarai, and Solanganallur. These initiatives aimed to reach and empower a broad spectrum of rural residents.
To ensure that participants had access to essential information, VDC distributed Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials. These materials served as valuable references and resources for continued learning.
At VDC, we believe that financial literacy is not just education; it's a journey towards financial independence. It empowers individuals to make sound financial decisions, plan for their future, and secure their financial well-being.
Our collaboration with NABARD for these Financial Literacy Awareness Workshops was a step towards empowering rural India. By equipping individuals with financial knowledge, we aimed to foster economic growth and prosperity in the communities we serve.
VDC remains dedicated to initiatives that empower individuals and communities through education and knowledge. Financial literacy is a cornerstone of economic development, and we are committed to building a brighter financial future for all.
