Centre launches financial literacy drive for villages of vulnerable tribal groups across four states
The Central government has started a special financial literacy drive in remote villages of vulnerable tribal groups across four states. Done in partnership with the National Scheduled Tribes Finance and Development Corporation, this campaign aims to teach basic money management, banking, and digital financial skills to tribal communities.

What happened
The Central government has launched a financial literacy campaign for vulnerable tribal villages across four states to promote money management.
Why it matters
This financial literacy drive helps vulnerable tribal communities in remote villages learn how to manage money safely, access banking services, and protect themselves from financial fraud. By understanding government schemes and formal credit, families can improve their savings and daily financial security.
Impact
Ground-level awareness camps will be organized by NSTFDC to open bank accounts, teach digital transactions, and connect locals with financial welfare schemes.
