Financial literacy can go a long way in empowering women, as it would help them make independent decisions, said Member of Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council K.S. Lakshmana Rao.
Addressing the inaugural session of a week-long celebration of International Women’s Day by the Women’s Cell of Andhra Loyola Institute of Engineering and Technology (ALIET), in collaboration with a local NGO called Step Ahead for Equality (SAFE) on the college campus on Tuesday, the MLC said economic independence would help women unlock their true potential.
Competitions were organised in essay writing and powerpoint presentations on the theme of ‘Empowering Voices: Financial Literacy for Women’s Economic Empowerment’.
