An investment in knowledge pays the best interest. - -Benjamin Franklin
Financial literacy in contemporary times plays a crucial role in equipping students with the necessary skills that enable them to make sound financial decisions, and effectively manage their personal budgets, investments, and debts. In light of this, Queen’s Valley School, in association with ThinQ Startup, organized a financial literacy boot camp on 28 th November 2024 for the students of classes VIII-XII.
The boot camp provided an incredible platform for discussions on the various spheres of Money Management and Financial Literacy such as the creation and management of a household budget, the basis and uses of different financial products, Financial Planning principles, etc. The session not only provided exposure to the world of finance and investment to the students but also shaped them into informed decision-makers and prudent future investors. The bootcamp concluded with a session on the biggest financial frauds that have occurred in the past 40 years in the Indian Financial system. The students were made aware about the loopholes in the financial system and the ways in which they can safeguard themselves from the potential financial frauds and make informed decisions.
