The role played by governments and employers in managing investments on behalf of individuals has shrunk significantly in the recent past as a result of changes in the social support structures across the world. This has increased individuals’ responsibility in managing their own finances and securing their financial future. In an environment where the range and the complexity of financial products continue to increase, it is imperative that individuals develop nuanced understanding of the world of finance to be able to make choices that are most appropriate to their financial goals and needs.
Though India is developing but its youth is lacking behind in terms of financial literacy. They have financial knowledge but are unaware of its application. The need of the hour is to provide training to the youth and change there attitude and behavior towards this subject. The main focus of training must to impart proper financial skills among them.
