In a significant step toward enhancing financial literacy and career prospects for students, the Department of Higher Education, Government of Odisha, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE).
This collaboration is expected to increase employability opportunities and the gross enrollment ratio in higher education across the state.
The partnership will focus on promoting financial literacy and investor awareness, equipping students with the necessary skills to explore career opportunities in the securities market, mutual funds, investment advisory services, and the BFSI sector. Additionally, the industry-academia collaboration will ensure students receive practical and relevant training, bridging the gap between education and employment.
Odisha’s higher education sector stands to benefit immensely from this initiative, with thousands of students gaining exposure to the financial world and improving their career prospects. Experts believe this effort will significantly contribute to the state’s vision of fostering a skilled and financially aware workforce.
