Vantage Knowledge Academy Ltd. and FLIF Launch National "Certified Financial Literate" Initiative

PNN
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 18: Vantage Knowledge Academy Ltd. (BSE: VKAL), in collaboration with the Financial Literacy & Inclusion Foundation (FLIF), has launched the Certified Financial Literate (CFL) program -- a comprehensive, multi-level financial education initiative aimed at empowering schoolchildren, college students, and the general public with essential money management skills.
With only 27% of young Indian adults financially literate, the CFL program addresses a critical need by offering a structured curriculum aligned with the National Strategy for Financial Education. It integrates practical financial topics such as budgeting, saving, investing, debt management, and digital payments into everyday learning.
The program features six certification levels, delivered via interactive video modules, real-life case studies, and practical exercises. To cater to offline learners, the program is also available in print through the Wallet Wisdom book series -- one for each level -- featuring worksheets, examples, and illustrations. Those who complete all levels and assessments receive the Certified Financial Literate certificate.
For younger learners, Vantage offers the ABC of Money, a three-level program that introduces basic financial concepts like saving, needs vs. wants, and spending wisely. It includes both books and digital tools, and children also receive certification upon completion.
All course modules are hosted on Vantage Pro's Learning Management System (LMS) and accessible via the Vantage Pro app (https://www.vantagepro.app). This tech-driven platform allows users to enroll, learn at their own pace, take quizzes, and track progress in an engaging and user-friendly environment.
Vantage and FLIF, a charitable foundation promoted by Vantage's founders, have worked together to develop and refine this initiative. FLIF has granted full rights to Vantage for curriculum development and nationwide rollout. The initiative supports national financial inclusion efforts and echoes the vision of leaders like Dr. Raghuram Rajan, Dr. Manmohan Singh, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, all of whom have emphasized the importance of early and inclusive financial education.
Vantage Knowledge Academy Ltd. is pleased to announce the launch of its bi-monthly e-newspaper, The Campus, designed to reach and engage over 1,00,000 students and academicians across institutions through a digital platform.
As a BSE-listed financial education provider, Vantage has a strong track record of delivering globally recognized programs and partnering with leading academic institutions. With this initiative, it reaffirms its commitment to transforming education and supporting India's inclusive growth through innovative, scalable learning solutions.

Value buying lifts key indices

Mumbai: Snapping the three-day losing run, benchmark BSE Sensex rebounded by nearly 447 points on Tuesday following value buying in blue-chip Reliance Industries and financial shares. The 30-share BSE Sensex jumped 446.93 points or 0.55 per cent to settle at 81,337.95. During the day, it surged 538.86 points or 0.66 per cent to 81,429.88. The 50-share NSE Nifty climbed 140.20 points or 0.57 per cent to 24,821.10. Among Sensex firms, Reliance Industries rose the most by 2.21 per cent. Gains in HDFC Bank, Larsen & Toubro, Bharti Airtel and Tata Motors also aided the rally. Asian Paints, Adani Ports, Tata Steel, Maruti and Bajaj Finance were also among the gainers. However, Axis Bank, Tata Consultancy Services, Titan and ITC were among the laggards. 'Amidst lingering uncertainties over the ongoing US-India trade negotiations, the domestic equity market staged a modest recovery from intra-day lows. Investor sentiment remains cautious ahead of key global events, including policy decisions from the US Fed and the August 1 reciprocal tariff deadline. 'Sustenance of this rally is likely to be positive in the near term with an eye on the above details, including Q1 results and this week's monthly expiry,' Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, said. The BSE smallcap gauge jumped 1.10 per cent and midcap rallied 0.84 per cent. All BSE sectoral indices ended higher. Realty surged the most by 1.64 per cent, followed by telecommunication (1.50 per cent), energy (1.22 per cent), industrials (1.20 per cent), healthcare (1.15 per cent), commodities (1.05 per cent) and auto (0.92 per cent). As many as 2,486 stocks advanced while 1,515 declined and 154 remained unchanged on the BSE. 'Indian equities rebounded sharply on Tuesday, breaking a three-day losing streak as value buying and easing volatility lifted sentiment,' Gaurav Garg, Lemonn Markets Desk, said. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 6,082.47 crore on Monday, according to exchange data. The recovery in the Nifty was driven by oversold positions in heavyweight stocks, coupled with the presence of strong support at the 100-day EMA, Ajit Mishra - SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd, said.

2 deals put India on top-10 Apac M&A list

New Delhi: Mergers and Acquisition (M&A) activity in Asia-Pacific region fluctuated throughout the year, declining in June as dealmakers awaited clarity to emerge on global trade negotiations, a report said on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the $1.39 billion acquisition of a minority stake in JB Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals by Torrent Pharmaceuticals in India was June's third-largest Asia Pacific deal, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence data. Two of India's deals made it to the list of the top-10 largest deals in June. The aggregate value of M&A deals in the Asia Pacific region declined 21.3 per cent YoY to $28.87 billion in June. However, the number of deals increased 13.2 per cent to 834. The decline came after a 57.4 per cent jump in May. On a month-over-month basis, the aggregate deal value fell 32.1 per cent in June, while the number of deals was up 12.2 per cent. The report said that 28 per cent of Asian respondents were more interested in M&A due to trade concerns. 'Asian dealmakers are adapting rather than retreating from deals. This was the highest positive response of any international region, indicating that many sAsian companies viewed the disruption as a chance, for example, to pursue non-US targets,' the report mentioned. According to the report, local private equity firms are eager to deploy funds in midmarket deals in Southeast Asia, while larger international funds are shopping for bigger targets in East Asia. 'Many respondents see private equity buyers as key acquirers across Asia.' These include private equity deals and growth investments, such as buyouts of family businesses in Southeast Asia, carve-outs in Japan or growth equity in Indian technology startups, the report said. US President Donald Trump's April announcements of 'reciprocal tariffs' in April shook global markets. On July 23, the US and Japan reached a deal that includes 15 per cent tariffs on Japanese imports into US.
