The Ministry has partnered with the professional institutes, trade and industry chambers, stock exchanges, SEBI, RBI, DPE etc. for organizing a large number of investor  awareness programmes throughout the year in order to reach out to the investors.  The Ministry of Corporate Affairs is also organizing the India Investor Week from July 13-17, 2010 in order to bring a national focus on the subject of investor awareness.
