 MUMBAI, June 9: HDFC Mutual Fund, today launched the Naari Nivesh Yatra, a first-of-its-kind nationwide investor education and awareness initiative designed to encourage women to take charge of their financial future through informed investing and long-term financial planning. The initiative was flagged off at Chetana College, Bandra, Mumbai.
Recognising the increasingly important role women play in household financial decision making and wealth creation, the Naari Nivesh Yatra aims to bring investor education directly to communities across the country through an extensive six-month outreach programme. As part of the initiative, two canters will travel across India in two different directions, covering multiple cities and towns. At each destination, HDFC Mutual Fund will conduct community engagement activities across multiple locations, featuring Nukkad Natak (street plays) and interactive investor awareness sessions that simplify key financial concepts and encourage conversations around investing. A key focus of the Yatra will be direct engagement with women at the grassroots level. Over the course of the campaign, HDFC Mutual Fund will conduct 60 dedicated sessions with Women Self Help Groups (SHGs) across the country, creating platforms for discussion around financial planning, goal-based investing, long term wealth creation and the importance of developing disciplined investment habits. Commenting on the launch, Mr. Navneet Munot, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, HDFC Asset Management Company Limited, said,
