In today’s fast-paced world, where financial decisions play a crucial role in shaping personal and professional lives, the concept of financial literacy has emerged as a cornerstone of education. Financial literacy refers to the knowledge and skills required to make informed and effective financial decisions. Financial literacy is not just about balancing budgets or understanding investments; it encompasses a wide range of skills. It includes understanding how to manage debt, budget effectively, save and invest wisely, and plan for retirement.
These skills are essential for students who are going to enter the workforce and manage their finances independently. Educating students about financial literacy empowers them to navigate financial challenges with confidence. It instills a sense of responsibility and prepares them to make informed decisions about loans, credit cards, investments, and savings from a young age.
#BBA department of #JIMSVK2 has recognized the importance of financial literacy in shaping future business leaders. To ensure that students of #JIMSVK2 are well-equipped with these essential skills, the #BBA department has incorporated various subjects like financial accounting, corporate finance, financial management, investment analysis, and individual financial planning into its curriculum.
