SEBI and NSE Launch Financial Literacy Initiative in Srinagar to Empower Child Care Stakeholders

SRINAGAR, April 10, 2026 — In a significant move to bolster financial inclusion at the grassroots level, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE), in partnership with the Department of Social Welfare, Srinagar, successfully conducted a Regional Investor Awareness Seminar.

The program specifically targeted stakeholders and beneficiaries from various child care institutions, including Palaash, Paresha, Intellectual Home, and specialized adoption agencies. By focusing on these often-underserved communities, the initiative sought to demystify the complexities of the financial world, equipping participants with the foundational knowledge necessary to navigate the securities market and build a secure financial future.

The seminar featured a series of comprehensive sessions led by SEBI experts, covering critical topics such as strategic financial planning, the mechanics of the stock market, and the essential role of regulatory bodies in protecting individual investors.

A major focus of the training was dedicated to “investor self-defense,” teaching attendees how to identify and avoid fraudulent investment schemes and “get-rich-quick” scams.

Through interactive dialogues, participants engaged directly with officials to clarify core financial concepts and discuss prudent investment practices.

The Department of Social Welfare lauded the collaboration, noting that providing financial education to those associated with child care institutions is a vital step toward long-term socio-economic empowerment and the cultivation of a more informed, resilient society.
