Millennium Fellowship Project: Vriddhi
Project Vriddhi, is an inititative that will help women and members of LGBTQ+ community achieve financial literacy. For this project, we conducted an online survey for all age groups, where the sample was convenience-based. We recorded 451 responses which comprised of 350 female respondents, 78 male respondents, and 2 non-binary respondents. The mode age group of respondents was 18-24. In the survey, the questions were regarding basic financial knowledge like did they understand sum breakup of bills or if they knew the difference between debit card and credit card, how much they saved, etc. One of the questions was to rate on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being totally dependent while 5 being totally independent), how independent was an individual while making a financial decision. With the average score being 3.02, only 27.28% of female respondents made financial decisions independently compared to 50.53% of male respondents. This data indicates that women's empowerment and upliftment in terms of being financially aware needs to be amplified. We, being members of this society, wish to bridge this gap between women and men and all genders alike with our project.
