For spreading financial literacy, different board games can be developed for women belonging to different sections of the society. For example, for housewives belonging to lower income classes and/or living in villages, it can revolve around financial decisions they make such as how much ration has to be bought etc. In the game they will face various probable situations such as fall in the income of the income earner, emergency situations involving huge outflows such as marriage, illness, etc. and their reactions to the situations will determine their money holdings. This training methodology can also be used to spread awareness of the various government initiatives taken for financial empowerment of women.

They started an agency named ‘Budget Buddies’ where they employed a group of other financially educated women to educate others who were vulnerable and dependent…The idea of women educating women can be very effective in India, because not only would the women be able to manage their expenses and gain financial independence, they would also see their educators as role models, which would, in turn, inspire them to educate the upcoming generations.
