The initiative aims to promote financial literacy and encourage informed investment practices among the people of Odisha.

Editor of Dharitri and OrissaPOST, Tathagata Satpathy, graced the occasion and highlighted the longstanding need for financial awareness in the state.

“We thought of this initiative to bring something new to Odisha. Odia people have great capacity to invest, but the culture of financial education has not been strong here,” Satpathy said.

“Earlier, Bhubaneswar even had its own stock exchange, but it closed because we often do not support good initiatives—sometimes we criticise instead of encouraging, If people become financially aware, it will benefit the entire state. Through this programme, we want to start changing that mindset.”

He added that Marwari Club was an apt venue to begin the movement and thanked the attendees for turning up in large numbers.
