Industrial exposure offers a great source to gain practical knowledge. Students can observe and learn as to how theoretical concepts are put into action, thereby aiding their practical learning. SOFICA organized a session with executives from RBI to expose the students to a real working environment and show how things are done in an organization. It also organized a visit to SEBI where the students imparted knowledge about the functioning, policy changes, FIDD i.e., The Financial Inclusion and Development Department and demonetization. The members also sought information about the alternative investment funds available and came to know about SCORES - SEBI Complaints Redress System where a person can register complaints online. SOFICA conducted workshops on mutual funds with the view to inculcate and impart financial knowledge among the learners.

Team SOFICA came with an opportunity for the students, teachers and non-teaching staff members of the college to apply for PAN card in the college itself. The society was able to accomplish its goals to educate, encourage and initiate something of value to the people.

When entertainment and education go hand in hand, students benefit a great deal.

Project Aarthik Gyaan is an initiative launched under SOFICA with the aim to help indigent people to improve their lives and escape poverty by providing them with access to appropriate financial services and life-changing information.

The project was carried out in two parts-

Online: Volunteers from all across the country were called for a 14-day volunteering program. Under which they were required to survey and provide access to relevant information to a minimum of two indigent people in their vicinity.
