The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) has launched a nationwide awareness campaign called Children’s Financial Security Week from November 12 to November 20, 2026. The initiative aims to encourage families to start planning financially for their children’s long-term future through the NPS Vatsalya scheme.
Focus on Early Financial Planning
The campaign highlights the importance of starting retirement and long-term savings early. It aims to educate parents and guardians about building financial security for children through disciplined contributions.
What Is NPS Vatsalya?
NPS Vatsalya is a government-regulated pension savings initiative designed for minors. Parents or legal guardians can open and manage an account on behalf of a child, helping build a long-term investment corpus.
Awareness Activities Across India
PFRDA is using the week-long campaign to spread information about the scheme, explain its features and encourage greater financial awareness among families.
The campaign is scheduled to continue until November 20, 2026.
