A ‘Seminar on Investors Education’ was organised at the College of Agribusiness Management (CABM) of Pantnagar University in Udham Singh Nagar district on Saturday by PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry in collaboration with National Stock Exchange (NSE).

Dr Prasad stressed on the importance of investment for a common person not only to multiply individual saving but also to contribute to nation’s progress. He said that a majority of population, including the farmers, does not know the ways and means of investment in different financial products and such seminars are required to remove this collective ignorance and to have their contribution included in nation- building.
Ghai said that share market is not just interesting but sensitive too and investment in it even with little intelligence may fetch good returns. He said that country needs more investors as public participation is imperative for inclusive growth.
Gupta explained all the terms related with security market, stock exchange and regulating authorities and procedures of investment and sale in different financial products like shares, mutual fund, bonds and the like.
Taneja while dwelling on the objectives of the seminar said that this is a neutral platform to disseminate knowledge about complex investment market and to sensitise more and more people for investment.
