3. Session on *Financial Literacy* for Students
Ann. Aparna Watwe conducted an informative and engaging session on "Financial Literacy for Students." She highlighted the importance of developing financial awareness from an early age and explained how basic financial knowledge can help students make responsible decisions throughout their lives.
Through practical examples, she spoke about the importance of saving, budgeting, distinguishing between needs and wants, and developing good financial habits. The interactive session encouraged students to think about money management and inspired them to build a strong financial foundation for the future.
We sincerely thank the school management, teachers, and all the Rotarians and Anns who contributed to the success of these three impactful programs. Together, we continue to nurture young leaders, celebrate academic excellence, and equip students with essential life skills.
