A Study of Investors Education in Promoting Responsible Investing

With an emphasis on the effects of awareness campaigns and the function of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), this study explores the contribution of investor education to the promotion of ethical investing. Data was gathered in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, from 100 respondents via a questionnaire-based survey. Analysing the impact of investor behaviour awareness programs and assessing SEBI's role in these educational endeavours were the goals of the research. The sample was primarily composed of people over 45, those over 25, and those between the ages of 36 and 45, with a greater proportion of women. Students made up the bulk of responders, with working professionals and business owners following closely behind. The most popular teaching formats were found to be online workshops and courses, and the main sources of knowledge about these offerings were personal networks, such as family and friends, and financial institutions. The data was analyzed using the Friedman test, which demonstrated the important impact of educational initiatives on investor decisions and the crucial role played by SEBI in supporting these programs.
