To propagate the message of Investor Education and Awareness among a
large group of present and prospective stakeholders, the Investor
Education and Protection Fund Authority (IEPFA) under the aegis of Union
Ministry of Corporate Affairs on Wednesday signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)
through a virtual event here.
The objective for signing the MoU
is to achieve the mandate of Investor Education, Awareness and
Protection by utilising the tele-lecturing facility of Gyan Darshan
Channel.
The panel of resource persons for the lecture series
would include experts from professional institutions such as ICAI, ICSI
& Senior officials from IEPFA, Ministry of Corporate Affairs and
other regulators. The proposed lecture series of 75 episodes will be a
live tele-lecturing series on 24x7 Gyan Darshan TV channel.
"All
of us are here with the common goal of educating people. The entire
nation is celebrating 75 years of 'Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav' to celebrate
the spirit of a self-reliant, progressive nation India has become. This
day is also celebrated as National Youth Day to commemorate the birth
Anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, the youth ICON and influencer of
global stature.
"With all these noble events falling together,
today's event has become even more apt and relevant. Both IEPFA &
IGNOU have the common objective of imparting education and making people
aware about subjects affecting their lives. IEPFA intends to create
awareness among all the stakeholder groups and specially among the
youths," said Rajesh Verma, Secretary, Ministry of Corporate Affairs
(MCA) and ex-officio Chairperson of IEPFA in his keynote address.
Prof.
Nageshwar Rao, Vice Chancellor, IGNOU, in his remark stated that IGNOU
and IEPFA with this initiative shall reach out to youth and other
stakeholders at large which would be productive in fulfilling the vision
and mission of both the organisations.
