Authors(1) :-Dr. Anupam Kumar

In recent years, some of the most important efforts made by the government have been successful in bringing a large population of the country under the ambit of financial services, thereby achieving the goal of financial inclusion. Financial inclusion has not only made financial services accessible to a large section of the population but has also helped a lot in sending the benefits of government schemes directly to the beneficiary's account. Financial literacy is a very important aspect related to financial inclusion. In other words, financial inclusion can be called financially successful in the true sense only when financial literacy can be spread and strengthened. In the present research paper, an attempt has been made to reveal the above facts. In addition to the above, the research paper is divided into three major parts, in which the introduction and literature review have been given place in the first part, while the research objective, research methodology and research area have been analyzed in the second part, with the third part data analysis- Along with the findings are included in themselves.
