New Delhi, October 11 (ANI): The National Stock Exchange (NSE), under the aegis of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), has signed two memorandums of understanding (MoUs) to expand financial literacy and investor awareness among college students and transport sector workers, including truck drivers, under the Project Jagrook campaign during World Investor Week 2026.
In a release, the NSE said the initiatives aim to strengthen investor awareness, promote responsible investment decisions and protect investors against financial fraud.
As part of the initiative, the NSE signed an MoU with Vignan’s Foundation for Science, Technology and Research to train and develop partner trainers for financial literacy and securities market awareness programs.
The collaboration will operate under the Mentoring of University/College Students by Trainers (MUST) initiative.
Additionally, the NSE signed an MoU with the All India Transporters Welfare Association (AITWA), under which the exchange will serve as the association’s knowledge partner.
Under the agreement, the NSE will provide financial literacy and investor awareness training to AITWA’s members, employees and nominated personnel.
The 10th edition of World Investor Week (WIW), organized annually under the aegis of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), is being observed in India from October 5 to 11, 2026, under the theme “Samajh Se Investing Simple.”
The campaign, launched by SEBI in collaboration with Securities Market Partners (SMPs), aims to simplify investing by promoting financial literacy and investor awareness, enabling individuals to make informed and responsible investment decisions.
“With approximately 13.66 crore unique registered PAN counts in a nation of approximately 1.47 billion, sustained, year-round education and scam-prevention remain essential priorities under SEBI’s principles-based regulation and the IOSCO-aligned WIW framework,” the release said.
The NSE conducts Investor Awareness Programs (IAPs) across India through in-person, hybrid and digital platforms to educate new and existing investors about financial products, investment fundamentals and safe investing practices.
The exchange conducted 14,679 such programs in fiscal year 2024-25. More than 24,500 programs were organized across all 36 states and union territories during fiscal year 2025-26 and the first half of fiscal year 2026-27 combined, the release said. (ANI)
