What is
?
I am working to raise financial literacy among youths in the age group of 16–25.
I make them aware of personal finance management and prevent them from getting into the trap of Ponzi and dubious finance schemes.
I have researched several finance books, International papers, and Government data and met more than 10+ certified finance planners to frame the content.
Why
?
In schools, finding area and perimeter is taught, but we get its use rarely and even do not, whereas we have to make money-related decisions every day, personal finance management is not taught in schools.
​
In India, Only 24% of people meet a minimum level of finance Literacy. RBIMarch'22
75% of Indians don't know basic finance concepts. S&P'23, 52% Indian population is under any kind of financial burden and stress related to it.​
​
I find there is a strong positive relation between the financial literacy of the nation and development of the nation ( 7 out of 10 top-10 happiest countries in the world are also in the list of top-10 highly financially literate countries)
​
So, I advocate that a person should be aware of personal finance management from his very initial years. Cultivating the habit of budgeting, saving and value investing, makes chances very high for him to be financially stable and secure in the future.

What
We collaborate with different schools, colleges, and organisations.
After getting permission, Akshar Visani conducts a 45-minute physical workshop.
followed by talks by various experts.
To ensure that people remain connected to the programme and can take advantage of it, they are provided with a WhatsApp community, which they can join for free and get learning resources, news, opportunities, awareness journals, and other useful data circulated by experts. They can also ask for their specific questions, for which they get guidance and support.
