For starting a business, India is a huge market in the world.
[4]
The main reason behind that is India's population.
[6]
The total population is nearly around 130 crores.
[8]
Due to that, the consumption rate of India is high.
[11]
Only for that main reason several multinational companies step into India.
[14]
But for such a huge population in crores even the MNC alone cannot cater.
[18]
So only there are a lot of Small and Medium Enterprises.
[21]
In India alone, there are nearly 50 million Small and Medium Enterprises.
[25]
In those small and medium Enterprises, approximately 11 crore people are working.
[28]
This is the sector in India where the most people work.
[31]
Every year thousands of Small and Medium Enterprises are being started in India.
[35]
In that nearly 90% of Businesses,
[37]
run into loss, become a loss and eventually shut down.
[40]
The prime reason for the closure is
[41]
Financial mismanagements happen in Small and Medium Enterprises.
[44]
As people are not aware of how to manage and handle money in business
[48]
so that business turns into a loss.
[50]
The knowledge on how to handle money effectively,
[52]
Defined and termed as Financial Literacy,
[54]
Majority people in our country do not have this knowledge.
[57]
The main reason for many people to fall below the poverty line is
[61]
They don't have financial literacy.
[63]
This lack of financial literacy,
[65]
is acting as a big hurdle in the growth phase of Indian Econmoy.
[68]
What is financial literacy?
[69]
Why is it very low among the people of India?
[72]
How can it be rectified?
[73]
These are the things which we will be discussing in this video.
[76]
I am sure this video will be very useful to you.

Welcome back to Master Mind Its me...Maddy.
[101]
India is just now beginning to become an Investor country, which is a very good thing
[106]
Many of us do not have a significant knowledge about investment.
[109]
So what we do, We just ask for tips from our friends.
[112]
If any of our friends say, "Buy this share", we buy.
[115]
If the friends invest in Cryptocurrency, We also invest in Cryptocurrency.
[117]
We just watch others and do similar things like that.
[121]
We are making an investment just like shopping
[123]
Without a proper strategy we buy and keep a lot of things
[126]
and start thinking about how to manage them.
[128]

[241]
The literacy rate of the whole of India's population is 75%.
[246]
But the financial literacy rate of India is only 24%.
[249]
Meaning, only the 24% of Indian population have knowledge regarding
[253]
How to save money, How to invest the saved money and multiply
[258]
And other money management issues.
[261]
Road side shops can be seen all over India.
[264]
There are lot of people selling fruits and vegetables on the platform.
[268]
In order to buy the goods required for their business, all these people
[271]
operate only by taking loans from somebody.
[273]
The people who give them loans, do not give them loans at a low rate of interest.
[277]
They lend money only at a high rate of interest.
[280]
Nearly 42% of people in India, receive loan from informal lenders
[284]
At a high rate of interest till date.
[287]
For example, just assume one person who is selling vegetables on the road
[291]
He will not be having the sufficient funds to purchase the goods for his daily sales
[294]
So, what he will be doing is
[296]
he will take a loan from someone who is giving for interest
[298]
Let us assume, he is taking a loan of Rs 500/-
[301]
The loan lender will be giving him only Rs 400/-
[303]
He will withhold the interest he needs to receive in advance.
[307]
For a sum of Rs 500, if Rs 100 is interest then the interest rate is nearly 20%
[310]
The vegetable seller will receive that Rs 400
[313]
and buy the vegetables and star selling.
[315]
He will be selling from morning till night
[317]
He has sold all the goods purchased for Rs 400 for a sale value of Rs 800
[319]
Now he has to return the loan received in the morning.
[322]
He has aleady paid the interest.
[323]
The received loan amount Rs 500, He will go and return by night.
[327]
He will have the balance Rs 300 in hand.
[329]
He and his family must manage that day only with that 300 Rs.
[332]
The following day, again he will go to him and ask Rs 500 as loan and do his business
[336]
This will keep on repeating like an endless cycle
[339]
There is a way for the vegetable seller to rid himself from this loan trap
[343]
It is enough if he saves Rs 10 from the Rs 300 which he brings home daily
[348]
If it is Rs 10 per day, he will be having Rs 500 in his hand by the 50th day
[351]
He will have the needed investment for that day to do the business.
[355]
So there is no necessity for him to receive a loan at interest.
[358]
But, he is not aware that by using such a technique
[360]
He will be able to create his own investment.
[364]
No one has said these things to him.
[365]
So he is continually getting trapped in the loan net.
[368]
if you know any such people, Please share this video with them.
[371]
This being one side, a research data reveals the other side.
[375]
In Indian Banks as of now, there is a total of Rs 18,830 crores of unclaimed assets
[380]
This sum of money is locked in accounts which are not having any transactions
[385]
The reason for this can be the death of account holders,
[388]
or there were no nominees to claim that amount
[393]
So only the funds are still lying in the bank
[395]
On one side, there is a set of people who don't know how to save money.
[399]
On another side there is a huge sum of Rs 18,000 crores without any usage
[402]
All Indians are either saving the money or spending the money.
[406]
Many are not aware of how to handle that money.
[410]
If you investigate the reason for this you will know that
[414]
It is because of the education system in our schools
[416]
They are teaching simple interest, compound interest
[419]
teaching trigonometry, teaching calculus
[422]
But any school does not teach on how to manage money.
[425]
For a piece of financial advice, many of us reach only our friends.
[428]
The irony is most people don't have friends with financial knowledge.
[432]
it is because no one has taught us about financial literacy.
[436]
If financial literacy is included in school syllabus in early stages
[441]
A basic awareness will be starting from that age.
[444]
Today, most students complete their higher education only by applying for a loan.
[448]
After they start working, it will take few years at least for them to repay the loan.
[452]
In those times, to manage the expenses
[454]
due to lack of knowledge, they get credit cards.
[456]
As they are not aware of how to use Credit Cards to their own advantage
[461]
They get caught in a debt circle.
[463]
if all these things had been taught to them in the school itself
[466]
They would have known, what are the Do's and Don'ts.
[469]
We are not using trigonometry or integral calculus on a daily basis.
[473]
But we manage money on a daily basis.
[475]
But none of the schools teach us about it.
[477]
If you are financially literate, You will plan your investment smartly.
[482]
In case any tragedy happens to you in future also,
[483]
Still, you would have taken term insurance to support your family.
[487]
You would have taken medical insurance for everyone in your family.
[490]
Those of you, who have done these Please comment below.
[493]
The financial literacy rate of Tamil Nadu is 22%.
[496]
The financial literacy rate of Gujarat is 83%.
[499]
The comical thing about this is the literacy rate of Gujarat is only 68%
[503]
So this means that, even those who don't know to read and write,
[506]
know how to manage money.
[508]
Another notable point is
[510]
There are nearly 1 Crore people in Gujarat who is investing in the stock market?
[514]
But not even half the number of people do from Tamil Nadu.
[517]
In stock markets, you can hear about an amusing phrase.
[519]
Among the investors in the Indian stock market 90% are from Gujarat
[524]
And the balance 10% are Gujaratis who are outside Gujarat.
[528]
Gujaratis know how to multiply the money they have saved.
[533]
We should also become like them.
[534]
Already I have made a video about Seven Investment rules.
[537]
I will be repeating it which I have said in that video.
[539]
The earlier you start your investment journey, the better it is.
[543]
Then only there will be a compounding effect and your money will multiply.
[546]
Also, Do not invest everything in one place.
[548]
Diversify it and invest them in different categories.
[551]
Classify your goals as short term and long term.
[555]
Plan your investment according to that.
[557]
To manage your personal finance and to be a financially literate
[560]
I would recommend a book:
[562]
"Financial affairs of the common man" by Anil Lamba
[564]
This book explains in very simple English.
[567]
The author has written according to the Indian environment.
[570]
There are lot of personal finance books.
[572]
But most of them are written on the basis of the American environment.
[576]
But this book is
[577]
Written in a way making the understanding easy for the Indians
[580]
in the indian scenario.
[582]
I have not come across any Tamil books in the subject of personal finance.
[585]
In case I see, I will post them in my Instagram, and you can follow
[588]
This book is available in online itself.
[590]
Book Fair is also taking place. it is possible to be there also.
[593]
Please read the book and comment "How it was?"
[596]
If we are financially literate, it is not only good for us, but also for the country
