The Internal Quality Assurance Cell organized an awareness programme on various initiatives and financial schemes as a welfare strategy towards financial empowerment. Ten administrative staff were oriented on the latest post office schemes offering high returns for women and girls on Friday, 9th February 2024 from 11:35 am to 11:55 am in the college. The features of the below schemes were outlined with passion and knowledge by Mr. Shri Dayananda Kathalsar and Mr. Subash, Marketing Executive.
• Sovereign Bond
• Postal Life Insurance
• IPPB Mobile Banking
• Mahila Samman Savings Certificate
Shri Dayananda mentioned that the subscription period for the sovereign gold bonds was from 12th to 16th February 2024 with a minimum of 1 kg and a maximum of 4 kgs. The features and benefits of the Postal life Insurance scheme were detailed. Since many are tech savvy, the IPPB’s digital savings account was elaborated upon. A new savings scheme for women and girls namely the Mahila Samman Savings Certificate, a one-time scheme available for two years, from April 2023-March 2025 was specified in terms of eligibility and tax benefits.
Information was disseminated well and the administrative staff were empowered financially. They chose a growth mindset. True to Benjamin Franklin’s words, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest”, the staff was financially empowered towards financial well-being.
