Four students from Bengaluru's National Academy for Learning (NAFL) came first in the National Finance Olympiad, the finals of which were held in Delhi in the first week of February.
Shivani Gowda and Sanyukta Kamath, both from Class 8, Rakshashri Nataraja (class 11) and Siddarth Vinay (Class 12), cleared the school and regional rounds to reach the finals. "We were tested on current affairs, general knowledge, the financial world, terminology and stock markets," said Rakshashri.
"The team from our school won the Olympiad last year, so there was quite a bit of pressure on us to win it again," said Shivani. " We are very glad that this is the second team from our school to win the Olympiad," said NAFL principal Indira Jayakrishnan.
The team received a cash prize of Rs 1 lakh.
The Finance Olympiad is an initiative to familiarise young people with managing money and inculcating the habit of analysing finances in their daily life.
