Investor Awareness programme held at SRHU
Swami Rama Himalayan University, Jollygrant (SRHU), and the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) jointly organised an investor awareness programme. Experts provided information on investing in an organised manner.
The programme began today with lighting of the ceremonial lamp before a portrait of founder Dr Swami Rama in the Adi Kailash Auditorium.
Chief Executive of AMFI, Venkat Chalasani said that the economic development of the country depends on the awareness and support of investors. The Indian economy could become the third largest in the world category. For this, the support and contribution of investors are extremely important. He explained the investment decision-making process in a simple manner. The main speaker, senior advisor of AMFI, Suryakant Sharma, shed light on the importance of financial security. He emphasised that an investor should arrange for financial security before prosperity, and ensure life insurance, health insurance coverage, and an emergency fund. He alerted participants that apart from government schemes, most investments involve risks, but risks can be minimised and managed through a simple formula – think, understand, and invest.
Dr Rajendra Dobhal, Vice Chancellor of Swami Rama Himalayan University, said that there is a lack of financial literacy in Indian society. He urged students to define their financial goals from now on. He said that in the era of information technology, all information related to investment is available. They can analyse the information and utilise it according to their needs.
Prior to this, Dr Mohit Verma, Principal of Himalayan School of Management Studies, welcomed all the guests. A question-answer session was organised at the end of the programme and experts answered questions asked by participants. Garima Kapoor conducted the programme and Ekta Rawat thanked all the attendees.
