ABSTRACT:
This paper focuses on understanding the current state of financial literacy by analyzing a survey. The survey was filled by students going to private schools in Bangalore to ascertain their understanding of various financial concepts. The results stated that 88.7% of the students want to learn more about financial literacy. This paper concludes that financial literacy amongst youngsters has a lot to be desired as the information they are getting in schools is not enough. This might be solved by introducing more forums where students can actually discuss about the same.
