Interactive Session Helps Students Understand Scarcity, Inflation and Everyday Financial Decisions
Raipur, 31 July 2026: The Finance Club of N.H. Goel World School organised an interactive session titled “What Your Money Is Really Worth” to promote financial literacy among students.
Around 150 students and teachers attended the programme, which was conducted by Ms. Bhavya Tatiya. She explained that financial literacy is not limited to investing or understanding the stock market. It also involves making careful and informed decisions about money in everyday life.
A major highlight was an engaging group activity in which teams created and traded different items using material kits that had been distributed unequally.
Through negotiation, innovation and resource-sharing, students gained practical experience of important economic concepts such as:
- Scarcity
- Demand and supply
- Value
- Resource management
- Decision-making
The activity demonstrated how easily available items can lose value, while scarce resources often become more valuable.
Ms. Tatiya also explained the effect of inflation on savings. She helped students understand that although savings may earn interest, rising prices can reduce the real purchasing power of money over time.
She concluded the session with a simple and practical piece of advice:
“Start tracking what you spend.”
The programme ended with a vote of thanks proposed by Ms. Aishwarya Rathore, Teacher-in-Charge of the Finance Club.
Principal Dr. Awinash Pandey and Senior Commerce Coordinator Mr. Sandeep Vyas presented a memento to Ms. Bhavya Tatiya in appreciation of her valuable contribution to developing financial awareness among students.
The session encouraged participants to understand money better, spend thoughtfully and develop responsible financial habits from a young age.
Knowing the price of something is useful—but understanding its true value is financial wisdom.
