ITANAGAR, Jan 18: Chief Secretary Satya Gopal expressed the dire need to quantify financial awareness activities in all districts in order to educate innocent people of the fraudulent and money laundering activities that are being carried out by some nefarious persons or groups.

Ltd., fraud and phishing in the name of PFRDA/NPS against which awareness is required.
Unless and until people are made aware of all the malpractices involving financial frauds they will always be duped, Chief Secretary stated.
Stating that Sarkar Apke Dwar will be one of the best platforms to reach out and disseminate the necessary awareness in far flung areas, the Chief Secretary recommended that the RBI could make proper utilisation of the services and opportunity of Sarkar Apke Dwar by setting up stalls during the camps.
