In a world where financial knowledge and inclusion remain elusive for many, Kashvi Jindal, a 17 year old entrepreneur, is making a remarkable impact on the lives of the underprivileged community. Through her project, “Invest the Change, which is motivated by the admirable goal of promoting digital and financial inclusion, Kashvi conducts financial literacy workshops and guides individuals from the marginalized sections of society along the path to financial freedom.
Through these workshops and Kashvi’s constant guidance, participants gain valuable knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about their finances. The project has enabled blue collar workers to receive financial benefits worth Rs. 20 crore so far by enrolling more than 3000 domestic workers, drivers, and others. But according to Kashvi, the real success lies in enabling these people to avail themselves of the benefits of various government schemes like Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY), Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBJ) and many more, encouraging financial independence and empowerment.
At the heart of Kashvi’s strategic approach lies the understanding that trust is the foundation of progress. By initiating regular seminars within different organizations and the blue-collar community, Kashvi establishes herself among the attendees, thus developing a sense of security and comfort. This approach has proven effective as Invest the Change reaches out to local educational institutions, housing societies, and even hotel chains.
The Invest the Change journey has been transformative for both the beneficiaries and those involved in its implementation. And this one remarkable incident has exemplified the profound impact of Kashvi’s work. Inspired by a seminar conducted at the DPS School in Vikas Nagar, Dehradun, the management took the initiative to reimburse the staff for the first year if they chose to enroll in any of the schemes presented during the seminar. This commendable decision not only raised awareness about available schemes but also allowed the staff to access the benefits without financial burden, leading to a sense of appreciation and increased loyalty among the employees.
With the aim of eliminating poverty, Kashvi is bridging the gap between the deprived sections of society and the various government schemes for their welfare. By democratizing financial knowledge and inclusion, she paves way for a more equitable and prosperous future for the underprivileged. And the active participation by the organizations already indicates the project’s impact on employee development and CSR.
In conclusion, Kashvi Jindal’s relentless efforts through Invest the Change have proven that financial inclusion is not a distant dream but an achievable reality. The project is a testament to the power of compassion, knowledge, and trust in transforming lives, one step at a time.
