2012 Essay Competition on Finance for Life :
Most families are now going for nuclear families and old couples have to look after themselves with minimum help from their children. It is critical for these couples that value of money from hard earned savings is maintained and Finance be made available for Life.

High inflation is eroding value of rupee. Rising dollar has made imports expensive and value of Indian rupee has fallen to Rs 55 per dollar. How can the Indian governments and the central bank retain the real value of money? While no one doubts the long term growth story of India, the present seems precarious.

After series of growth rates in 9% range, the country’s growth has slowed down to 5% levels. The inflation has been stubbornly high in double digits. The interest rates on bank deposits or long term savings don’t offer positive real rates.

The real estate prices have been prohibitively expensive for poor and even middle class families. The unemployment scenario is distressing with more than 75% of our graduates not employable. Those who have got jobs in IT majors have to wait over a year after graduation to join the companies.
