Financial Literacy Week 2025
Chandigarh, 24 February : Reserve Bank of India has been observing Financial Literacy Week (FLW) every year since 2016 on a specific theme targeted at particular segments of the population. FLW 2025, which is being observed from February 24-28, 2025, marks the 10th edition of this initiative. The objective behind observing FLW is to spread awareness among people about key financial topics through focused campaigns.
FLW 2025 in Chandigarh was inaugurated by Shri Vivek Srivastava, Regional Director, RBI Chandigarh. This year the theme is “Financial Literacy: Women’s Prosperity”. The intent is to prioritise financial literacy for women considering their multifaceted role in society. The campaign will cover topics such as risk diversification, responsible borrowing, maintaining a good credit score and household budgeting and will have special focus on homemakers, working women and women entrepreneurs.
While emphasising the need for being financially literate, Shri. Vivek Srivastava highlighted that Financial literacy empowers individuals and households to manage their money effectively, plan for their future, and make informed and responsible financial decisions that lead to financial well-being and makes them aware of their rights as consumers of financial products and services.
During the course of the week, the Reserve Bank, in collaboration with banks and other stakeholders, will organize awareness programs and outreach activities across the country. These initiatives will also be sustained during the year to ensure a lasting impact.
