INTRODUCTION The emerging economies like India where more than 0% of the population lives in the rural areas, should ensure adequate access to the financial products and services to all the individuals in the country. According to the annual MasterCard s index for financial literacy 03, India is in 5th place among countries in Asia Pacific region in terms of overall financial literacy. The report states that for Indians, the lack of ability to keep up with bills, set money aside for big item purchases and to pay off credit cards fully could be due to a lack of surplus cash, resulting from the fact that income levels are not high enough to cover expenses. The condition is still worse in rural India where the levels of financial literacy are very low. The Reserve Bank of India in March 005 initiated financial inclusion as a major policy objective to extend banking services to the entire population without any discrimination. The Financial Stability and Development Council (FSDC), Page 85

All financial sector regulators, RBI, SEBI and IRDA are committed to the mission to create a financially aware and empowered India. The growth of financial system depends on the penetration of the financial products into the rural markets in the country. The wider participation of rural households in financial markets will lead to increased financial deepening in Indian Economy. Lack of awareness about the different financial products among the rural households not only affects the growth of financial system in the country but also the overall quality of life of rural households. The present study focuses on the awareness of various financial products among the rural households in the Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh. The results of the study will help the government,the policy makers to further strengthen the financial system in rural India and improve the financial literacy among the rural households.. REVIEW OF LITERATURE AnnamariaLusbrdi(005) analyzed the effects of financial education on saving and investment behaviour of African-Americans and Hispanics Households. The study revealed that seminars have some effect on savings, particularly for those at the bottom of the wealth distribution, and those with low education. C Thilakam (0) opined that the knowledge of rural households is limited to the traditionally known savings and investment avenues like bank saving, holding insurance policy, investment in gold or in land/building. The sample population s knowledge on the modern and market sophisticated investment avenues is very much limited. FurqanQamar (003) 3 analyzed the savings behaviour and investment preferences among average urban middle class of Delhi. The following are the relevant findings of the study : a. Despite financial sector reforms and entry of private, domestic and foreign banks into the country, the nationalized commercial banks seem to be the favorite choice of an average household. b. Capital market imperfections and associated risk have not been a deterrent for many households as they were found investing in debentures and shares either directly or indirectly. c. The saving behaviour and investment preferences of average urban household seem to be significantly influenced by the level of educational attainments and income of the respondents. Amu Manasseh Edison Komla (0) 4 concluded that demo-graphic factors influence the rural household savings of rural households. The study found that the age of the head of the household, the size of family has a major bearing on the saving and investment behaviour of rural households in the study area. Family size and knowledge in saving and in-vestment by household heads had no significant relationship with savings and investment of the rural households in the Ho Municipality. SEBI NCAER Survey (0) 5 was carried out to prepare a comprehensive profile of savings and investment behaviour in the context of income and consumption patterns and to obtain the risk profile of the households and relate this to savings and investment behaviour. Some of the relevant findings of the study are : i) The percentage of investors is nearly 0 per cent in urban areas while it is much lower ( per cent) in rural India. ii) There is a significant degree of non-investment by rural households because of: a) inadequateinformation, and b) lack of adequate skills. iii) Only per cent of all households, whose primary occupation is agriculture, allocate a part of their savings to pension plans. Srikakulam District formerly known as Chicacole is one backward district among the nine coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh.The current study focuses on analyzing the awareness of different financial products among the rural households in relation to the different socio-economic indicators.
