A wholly owned subsidiary of NSE (National Stock Exchange), NSE Academy Limited along with HDFC AMC have joined hands to launch a program for college students with an initiative to increase financial literacy among students and reach first-time investors.

The program is called ‘Invest-Verse’ and would be available on HDFC Mutual Fund’s MFBytes application. The program is supposed to be co-certified by both institutions and would be delivered online and through application-based training.

The first batch of the program began on August 25 this year with 250 students from different reputed colleges in Mumbai. This 5-hour course could lead to the development and better chances of financial literacy among the young generation in India.
