Mumbai : Central
Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL) Investor Protection Fund (IPF) has
launched a multilingual investor education film to promote thoughtful financial
planning and informed investing. Developed in collaboration with Amar Chitra
Katha, the film simplifies essential investment concepts through engaging
storytelling, making them accessible and relatable for investors across diverse
geographies and demographics.
The
animated film, The Garden of Prosperity, follows Akbar and Birbal as
they help a newly married couple understand how to invest their wedding gifts
wisely. Using the analogy of nurturing a garden, they explain the importance of
goal-based investing, diversifying investments across financial goals, aligning
investments with different time horizons and maintaining an emergency fund.
Through an engaging narrative, the film simplifies essential investment
principles and encourages disciplined financial planning for long-term wealth
creation. The film is available in 12 languages: English, Hindi, Marathi,
Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia and
Assamese, ensuring wide reach across urban and rural investor segments.
Speaking
about the initiative, Shri Sudhish Pillai, Head, CDSL IPF Secretariat, said: "At
CDSL IPF, we believe financial education is most effective when complex
concepts are communicated through simple, relatable stories. By combining the
timeless wisdom of Akbar and Birbal with practical lessons on financial
planning, this multilingual film makes investing easier to understand for
people across age groups and geographies. Through engaging formats such as
films and comics, we hope to encourage investors to adopt goal-based investing,
prepare for the future with confidence and participate in the securities market
in an informed and responsible manner."
The
initiative builds on CDSL IPF's collaboration with Amar Chitra Katha to develop
a series of investor education comics that simplify financial concepts through
familiar characters and narratives. The series also includes titles such as The
Unofficial Ustaad and The Golden Peacock Fraud, helping make
financial education more inclusive and accessible across age groups and
regions.
CDSL
IPF remains committed to advancing financial literacy through nationwide
investor awareness initiatives, empowering individuals to become
#AtmanirbharInvestor.
