NCERT Adds Personal Finance to Class 9; Young Investors Navigate Abundant Advice
NCERT has introduced a new personal finance chapter for Class 9 covering budgeting, saving, investing, insurance, and tax, aiming to build foundational money habits. Experts note that lasting financial literacy depends on classroom practice and parental involvement. Meanwhile, young investors, especially Gen Z, face abundant but conflicting financial advice from influencers, family, and AI, making trust and personalized guidance key challenges. Surveys show social circles and online communities are common information sources, while professional advice is less frequently sought.
