Chairman Pandey highlighted SEBI's campaign 'Samajh Se Investing Simple' under Project Jagrook and the 'Check, Validate and Verify' safety message, advising investors to understand investments, check authenticity, and consider risks before making decisions. The Pavilion showcases SEBI's continuous efforts toward investor protection and market integrity through interactive and experiential financial education, featuring an AI Zone and an Investor Facilitation Camp where visitors can interact directly with officials and learn about safe investment practices.
Throughout the fair, quizzes and games with exciting prizes will be conducted to make investor education engaging, experiential, and inclusive. These initiatives also caution the public against illegal money mobilization schemes, unregistered entities, and fraudulent investment offers, including those on social media and messaging platforms. The Pavilion aims to invite every citizen, from students and first-time investors to senior citizens, to participate in the nation's growth journey as informed and protected investors.
