Sebi to educate investors
Mumbai: Stock market regulator Sebi will launch a nation wide investors' campaign in the next two months to educate people about the securities market, said M Damodaran, chairman, Sebi. This would be with the help of the major stock exchanges and the state governments.

Addressing retail investors at India Investors Show, Damodaran said, "We will reach out not just to people in the Metros, and only to people in the tier-two towns, but wherever investable surpluses are available."

Sebi will work through the National Institute of Securities Market (NISM) for spearheading the investors' education campaign.

Damodaran said, "We have already tied-up with some large institutions in order that our investors' education programme reach much beyond the metros and tier-two towns", he said.

Stressing on the need of the retail investors' participation in the market, Damodaran said that the participation of the retail investors in the market is necessary for the healthy growth of the Indian stock market in the long-term horizon. It will help the market also to give a reasonable return.
