Mizoram Governor Launches RBI’s Financial Literacy Week 2025

AIZAWL: Mizoram Governor Vijay Kumar Singh inaugurated the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) ‘Financial Literacy Week 2025’ on Monday at the Mizoram Rural Bank (MRB) Head Office in Aizawl. The event included the launch of Financial Literacy Messages Booklets, which will be distributed to 513 libraries throughout the state to enhance financial awareness among residents.

This year's theme, "Financial Literacy – Women's Prosperity," is in line with the Vikshit Bharat 2047 vision of developing a self-reliant India. Governor Singh, in his speech, appreciated the RBI for its continuous efforts to ensure financial awareness and highlighted the pivotal role played by financial literacy in empowering women.

The Governor also pointed to different central government schemes aimed at supporting citizens, such as credit guarantees, social security initiatives, and entrepreneurship initiatives. He appealed to banks and financial institutions to ensure that all those who are eligible in Mizoram are brought into the formal financial system, thus making it easier for them to access vital financial services and social security benefits.

T. Lhungdim, General Manager and Officer-in-Charge of RBI Aizawl, mentioned that this is the 10th edition of Financial Literacy Week. He declared that a mass media campaign would be run alongside the week's events to further enhance financial awareness.

Additionally, a Financial Literacy Van was flagged off by T. Lhungdim, which will travel to five districts—Aizawl, Serchhip, Lunglei, Hnahtial, and Saitual—during the week to disseminate information on financial literacy. Other speakers at the event included representatives from NABARD, State Bank of India, Mizoram Rural Bank, and Mizoram Co-operative Apex Bank, all expressing their commitment to enhancing financial literacy in the state.
