Problems Encountered and Resources Required: The region has a very low level of financial literacy and students are unable to see the future scope of the finance-based courses. Students are not aware of the course and don’t show interest towards the course. This course seeks excessive efforts to be aware and get the students to register for the course. Implementation of financial simulators is one of the essential problems due to the lack of a practical approach in the students.
