What happened

The Reserve Bank of India has announced prizes for professors who write original books in Hindi on economics, banking, or finance. Three prizes of ₹1,25,000 each are available for the year 2025-26. Working or retired professors from UGC-recognised Indian universities can apply.

Why it matters

RBI runs this scheme to promote original research and writing in Hindi on financial subjects. It is part of RBI's Rajbhasha (official language) efforts to make banking and finance knowledge available in Hindi. This helps more Indians access financial education in their native language.
