On International Women’s Day 2024, let’s understand the meaning of women’s empowerment in its truest sense. Enabling women to lead their lives by making their own decisions and allowing them to participate in social, economic, political and cultural spheres is women empowerment. Giving them equal rights and access to resources & opportunities can help them thrive.
Women have faced challenges in receiving equal rights and the right to education. Times are changing, as women nowadays are effectively leading organisations. Women aim to be independent individuals by focusing on their overall development. Therefore, many female students opt for a loan for education to fund their studies independently without depending on their parents.

Opening a bank account, making choices that impact society, easy access to technology, and labour laws favouring equal rights for women at work are some basic aspects that can uplift women and drive economic empowerment.
Women work, earn, and financially support their families and themselves. By understanding financial literacy, women can make decisions about spending, saving and investing. They can manage their moolah effectively without having to depend on others.
Working women have the purchasing power, and with it comes the responsibility to save judiciously, invest wisely and plan for retirement. Gone are the days when men made the decisions related to finances earned by women. These days, educated women understand financial planning and budgeting to manage their finances effectively.

Quality education for women is equally important as it is for men. You will be surprised to know that 43% of STEM graduates in India are women, a domain considered most competitive. Nevertheless, women are thriving because of their domain-specific knowledge and skills. Hence, education holds paramount significance as it is the cornerstone of personal and professional growth. Education for women’s empowerment is essential for enabling them to reach their full potential in every aspect of life.
When you opt for a student loan, you can pay it off easily through Equated Monthly Instalments (EMIs). Most study loans come with a moratorium period where you don’t have to pay EMIs, for a brief period. However, it is recommended to contribute in the form of simple interest/partial interest as a moratorium is not an interest-free period, and interest begins to accrue from day one. You can earn a self-made badge by paying off your education loan without depending on your parents.

education loans this World Student’s Day
Why should you settle for a lesser-known college or course? If you believe your dream university will provide the necessary learning experience to build a successful career, you can opt for a student loan. Whether you want to study in India or abroad, an education loan is a prudent choice to pursue conventional courses such as STEM, unconventional programs such as Music Production, or other vocational, skilling, upskilling or reskilling study programs.
Savings come in handy during a rainy day. So, by opting for an education loan, you can keep your emergency savings intact for unexpected expenses. Your family can fall back on this money during health emergencies or other contingencies.
You can build a healthy credit score if you repay your student loan responsibly. This will unlock multiple benefits when you opt for other
financial solutions such as a car loan, home loan or credit card.
