All states, with the exception of three, have agreed to include a financial literacy programme for school education boards that have been developed by the RBI and other authorities, an official said on Monday.
According to Anil Kumar Sharma, Executive Director of RBI, "If we could instill fundamental financial literacy in the school curriculum, then that would be far better to spread financial literacy in the country."

He said that all but three of the state's school education boards have agreed to incorporate it into their curriculum.
"We have created a curriculum that is being proposed for inclusion in state school boards' curricula after consulting with all regulators. And the school boards will include it whenever the curriculum is being revised. Thus, from now on, we will have this curriculum designed specifically for classes 6 to 10, according to Sharma, who was addressing the Sa-Dhan National Conference on Financial Inclusion 2022.
