The financial literacy workshops led by NPCI’s Human Resource vertical have been initiated from August to integrate digital payments in campuses across the country. Reputed management institutes of Pune, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai and Mumbai will host over 3000 students from about 35 universities where they will be familiarised with financial products like Unified Payments Interface (UPI) / Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM).
Mr. Nishith Chaturvedi, VP & Head, Human Resources, NPCI said, “The objective is to create awareness about significance of having a less-cash society to celebrate World Literacy Day. It also serves the purpose of pre-placement talk at the campuses before NPCI visits the institute for campus hiring.
Bangalore’s renowned institutes such as IIIT, MS Ramaiah Institute of Management, SIT Siddaganga, Thiagarajan College of Engineering, PES University and Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering are among the first few to participate in Campus Connect initiative.
The participants are also encouraged to participate in ‘NPCI Ideathon’ - brainstorming sessions for presenting fresh ideas to improvise on UPI / BHIM Apps.
