CAUSE
One question. One truth.
“Why is financial literacy low in India?”
The core reason for India's low financial literacy is the absence of structured financial education in schools, coupled with insufficient teacher training. This leads to basic knowledge gaps starting in early grades, as 80% of Grade 3 students in rural India cannot read a Grade 2 text.

CURRENT STATE
This educational gap results in widespread financial illiteracy, with only 27% of adults considered financially literate, far below the 52% average in advanced economies. Despite 85% of Indians holding bank accounts, many underutilize them or lack effective financial management skills.
