While addressing the ‘Sa-Dhan National Financial Inclusion Conference 2022’, Sharma said, “Whenever the syllabus is revised, the Board of School Education will include this literacy programme. This course has been specially designed keeping in mind the students of class VI to X.

Along with this, he said that the central bank is reviewing the entire structure of Banking Representative (BC) as this system has not worked as expected. During this, common points related to the role of BC and the services provided by them are being looked into.

BC was conceptualized with the aim of bringing financial literacy to the last man of the society. However, he said that this objective has not been achieved due to regulatory restrictions and operational bottlenecks.
