KAU organises financial literacy programme for farmers in collaboration with RBI and Canara Bank

Kerala Agricultural University (KAU) recently organized a comprehensive financial literacy programme designed specifically for farmers. The event was conducted in collaboration with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and Canara Bank to bridge the gap between financial institutions and the agricultural sector.

The initiative was integrated into the Experiential Learning Programme for final-year B.Sc. (Hons.) Co-operation & Banking students. These students played a key role in the dissemination of essential financial information, gaining practical field experience while assisting the farming community.

Key objectives of the programme included educating participants on credit management, digital banking tools, and various government-backed agricultural schemes. Representatives from the RBI and Canara Bank provided technical guidance to ensure farmers could better navigate the modern banking landscape, according to the source excerpt.
