During the visit, Malhotra emphasised the importance of financial literacy and spoke about empowering citizens. He encouraged attendees to enhance their financial awareness, work towards prosperity, and ensure long-term financial stability. He also urged them to take advantage of various pension and insurance-related social schemes offered by the Government of India.
He called upon officials at the Centre for Financial Literacy to intensify their efforts in educating all sections of society, particularly those living in remote and underserved areas, to promote financial inclusion. The RBI Governor also encouraged participants to share the knowledge gained at the camp with their family, friends, and neighbours.
Malhotra interacted with members of the Self-Help Groups during the event. Business Correspondents provided basic banking services, while counters were available for coin and note exchange. Additionally, a mobile ATM van was present at the venue. Some Self-Help Groups displayed their products, which Malhotra appreciated and showed keen interest in.
