Under the ‘Diksha Financial Literacy Program’, these financial literacy workshops aim to educate women from the lower income sections of the society and impress upon them the importance of understanding basic financial planning, which are critical for their day to day lives and for a safe and secure future.

The workshops are divided into five modules spread over five weeks which includes sessions on simple numerical skills; how to maintain a financial record of her income and expenditure; understand the importance of savings and her different options; most crucially, understand how to borrow within their capacity to repay and to be in control of their financial condition.

These workshops will be organized in 24 locations across India, which include Mumbai, Pune, Gujarat, Ajmer, Jaipur, Alwar, Bengaluru, Hosur, Salem, Erode, Dhanbad, Baramunda, Puri and Cooch Behar. Each city will have a minimum of two slots of 60 women and a few branches will have four slots of 120 women.

Aditi Kothari, EVP and Head of Marketing, DSP BlackRock Investment Managers Pvt. Ltd., said “We are happy to work with Parinaam Foundation on this unique initiative. It is important for women to take that vital first step towards awareness and understanding of financial products for their well being and for that of their family.”

Mallika Ghosh, Executive Director, Parinaam Foundation said, “Diksha was created to empower underprivileged women and teach them how to manage their finances by taking control of their lives. Parinaam aims to give her confidence and knowledge to enable her to make her own financial decisions. A woman is the backbone of a family and by educating her we are also educating an entire family.  It is wonderful that DSP BlackRock is supporting the education of underprivileged women and we look forward to making a positive change in these families’ lives through this partnership”
