In a historic push for financial literacy and women’s empowerment, 1.91 lakh schoolgirls across Uttar Pradesh visited bank branches under the fifth phase of Mission Shakti for the year 2025-26.
The initiative, inaugurated by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on September 20, aims to instill economic self-reliance and digital awareness among girls.
The primary aim of the programme was to familiarise the students with savings, banking processes, and digital services. Students learned the process of opening a bank account, the use of passbooks, chequebooks, and ATM cards. They also practised filling out deposit and withdrawal slips and experienced digital tools like mobile banking, UPI, and internet banking.
Bank officials also introduced them to basic investment options such as fixed deposits and recurring deposits.
