The committee opined that there is every need to explain the people in detail about the cheating committed by the financial institutes as a series of irregularities have involved firms like AgriGold, Abhaya Gold and other financial firms cheating depositors.
The officials decided to first bring awareness among the Self Help Group (SHG) women to prevent them from falling prey to such financial institutes.After selecting 100 women from the SHGs across the state, the officials will organise an awareness programme for them on May 26. Officials of RBI, police and finance department will give training to the select women. After completion of training, the 100 women will give training to other women in their respective districts.
