The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has launched the Financial Literacy Week (FLW) for the year 2021. The literacy week started from February 8 and it will conclude on February 12, 2021.

Financial Literacy Week (FLW)-2021

This year, the Financial Literacy week will focus on ‘Developing the credit discipline and encouraging availing of the credit from the formal financial institutions as it is required’.
During the week, similar activities will be conducted all across the country.
Some special financial literacy programs will also be organized by all the banks and financial literacy centres on the selected subjects.
In the year 2021, this year the bank is organising the week to spread awareness regarding the credit facilities which are provided by the bank. This topic was chosen by the bank because credit score is an important issue of the banking sector.
Through this programme, the banks will spread awareness about various types of credit or loan facilities including the home loan, business loan, vehicle loan and Kisan Credit Card etc.
