The state government has issued instructions to invite RBI representatives, to district level meetings of public representatives for dissemination of financial literacy among masses,” said Naveen Patnaik during a seminar titled ‘Investor Education and Protection for Inclusive Growth’ on Saturday here.
In spite of all the legal and enforcement measures what matters most is financial literacy to make the public aware about safety, liquidity and reasonable return on their investments, the chief minister added.

Among others SEBI chairman UK Sinha, Institute of Company Secretaries of India president S N Anant Subramanyam and BSE CEO Aswin Kumar Chouwan were present in the meeting.
