The textbook covers a wide range of themes related to financial awareness, including teamwork and basic financial principles, as well as Banking, Security, and Digital Payments such as UPI, Cards, Wallets, and more. It covers the history of banking, the change from coins to paper money, the different types of banks, and the primary operations and services that banks provide.
