Modus Operandi of Financial Fraudsters

As a part of the Reserve Bank of India's customer awareness initiatives, in July 2021 this office had published a booklet "Be(A)ware" on the modus operandi of financial fraudsters. Encouraged by the positive response received from members of the public as well as different institutions, we take forward the idea of financial education, to be more accessible to those who have just begun their journey into digital financial world and are not so well-versed with the nuances of online financial transactions. This includes people from different ages and education levels such as school children, young adults, semi-literates and senior citizens, irrespective of whether they live in urban, rural or semi urban areas, Continuing the "Be(A)ware series, this  Raju and the Forty Thieves' is a manifestation of our efforts. The booklet is an easily understandable pictorial depiction of incidents happening around us and helps us to learn how to keep hard-earned money and ourselves safe from fraudsters, As the name suggests, "Raju and the Forty Thieves' contains forty such stories providing glimpses of fraudulent events being reported to us and provides simple tips about DOs and DON'T. Raju is a typical gullible citizen, and, in these stories, he appears in different characters, some time as a senior citizen, some time as a farmer, sometimes as a happy-go-lucky guy, etc., although with same curly hair always to identify which different walks of life. Let us make ourselves aware of such modus operandi used by fraudsters and educate those around us to be aware of such financial frauds.

Certification of the Gram Rozgar Sahayak

Mode of learning: Self LearningDuration: 12 Weeks The Gram Rozgar Sahayak (GRS) helps in mobilisation of Mahatma Gandhi NREGS works for planning and implementation of the various activities. As per the Act, any registered worker can approach the Mahatma Gandhi NREGS functionaries including GRS for work. Though GRS play a key role in the implementation of  Mahatma Gandhi NREGS , since the inception of  Mahatma Gandhi NREGS  and recruitment of GRS, there was lack of systematic capacity building initiative taken up either by States or by the Central Government. Thus it was felt that there is need to train and certify all the existing GRS in the country. As the GRS work at the Panchayat level and do multiple roles, they need to have adequate knowledge base and skills required as per situations that arise. Not only do they need to understand the basic functions of the Panchayats and other line departments, they need to understand the nuances of the Mahatma Gandhi NREGA as well as issues that include job card, wage seekers’ mobilisation, attendance (NMMS), work projections, labour budgets, technical know-how and good communication skills. They also need critical skill to implement good governance practices under Mahatma Gandhi NREGA. Hence, training for capacity building for GRS is imperative. A comprehensive training material has been prepared for improving the skills of GRS. This course is designed with the aim to strengthen grassroots level implementation of Mahatma Gandhi NREGS. This course is divided into 3 modules and 26 units. It is being delivered through 35 pre-recorded videos. Module I comprises of three units, delving into Gram Panchayat and the responsibilities incumbent upon Gram Rozgar Sevak. Module II, encompasses twenty units, which focuses on different aspects of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) of 2005. This module provides a comprehensive idea of the key aspects of the implementation of the program. Module III, with three units, is centred around the practical skills required by GRS under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS. Within this module, emphasis is placed on behaviour and communication Skills, aiming to equip participants with the interpersonal competencies crucial for the role.
