Meghalaya, NSE join hands to teach financial literacy

Shillong: The state education department and National Stock Exchange (NSE) signed an MoU in the presence of chief minister Conrad K Sangma, education minister Rakkam A Sangma and other officials on Thursday to provide financial literacy to college students in banking, insurance and allied sectors.
The CM said the entrepreneurs and youth of the state lack financial literacy and skills. NSE will help them make sound financial decisions, avoid risky consequences and help secure the future by making informed and wise decisions.
A day earlier, Shillong hosted a Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) conference on Indo-German cooperation for SDG localisation, marking an important milestone in Meghalaya’s journey towards sustainable development.
Organised by the planning, investment, promotion and sustainable development department, the conference served as a podium to discuss the progress of the Indo-German cooperation towards attaining the UN’s SDGs.

Conrad said the numbers are not great for Meghalaya when it comes to SDGs due to a lot of challenges.
