Self knowledge is the main source of innovation.

Finance in our practical is not an essential part rather without money we can not even think of our study well in the future.it helps me how to use my money efficiently , not only in the corporate capital raising and fund collection, it also taught us about money management. By industrial tour , we have gain the knowledge about stock market ,capital gain and dividend policy of a firm and working with production house and bank , gathered knowledge about how to invest your money with portfolio diversification and risk management. Finance also help us to know the cost of debt and equity. Now, In any financial project, we know how to Evaluate those projects and comparision by NPV and IRR. Now, i think twice before investing and expanding money in any where, i have become more economical before and the saving tendency has increased.
