Anukrati Sharma, College Coordinator of the University of Kota which participated in the program said, “I am enriched with the basics of investment which I was unaware of. ‘Market Ka Eklavya – Express’ was an informative program and was highly beneficial for my students. It is a good initiative and we must encourage this kind of initiative for the students.”
Padmaja Chunduru, MD & CEO, NSDL added, “There has been an overwhelming response from the colleges and students. The fast-track version of the course ‘Market Ka Eklavya – Express’ has reached over 4000 students from different places, including many Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities across India. Happy to share that amongst these students, about 48% were girls. We see a small but decisive impact it has made on the students. As many as 90% of respondents are positively inclined to embark upon the journey of wealth creation by opening a Demat account shortly. We would continue to reach out to the youth through our tie-up with colleges for our 5 hours online program ‘Market Ka Eklavya’.”
