FLO Bangalore, under the leadership of Chairperson Dekyi Yangtso Chawla, inaugurated its Social Initiatives Collective with a meaningful and high-impact Financial Literacy Workshop for the Karnataka State Police Women’s Force. The initiative marked a significant milestone, reinforcing FLO’s commitment to skilling, financial empowerment, and long-term independence for women across sectors.
The workshop reached 120 women police personnel from the Communications Department and was conducted through two engaging and interactive sessions led by Preetha Wali, Co-founder of Pay It Forward. The sessions focused on strengthening financial confidence by simplifying the fundamentals of savings, investments, insurance, and financial planning, equipping participants with practical tools for informed decision-making and long-term security.
The programme was further enriched by Mr. Shivakumar and Mr. Mahesha from the Department of Posts, Government of India, who provided clear insights into India Post savings schemes, enabling participants to understand accessible and reliable financial instruments available to them.
The sessions witnessed enthusiastic participation from 120 women police personnel, with active engagement, thoughtful questions, and a strong appetite for financial awareness—making the workshop both impactful and empowering. In a special gesture of appreciation, Chairperson Dekyi Yangtso Chawla presented the Friends of FLO memento to the Department of Posts, acknowledging their continued support in advancing financial literacy initiatives throughout the year.
This inaugural initiative laid a strong foundation for the Social Initiatives Collective, advancing financial literacy, confidence, and economic empowerment among women police personnel, and setting the tone for sustained, purpose-driven community engagement.
