Financial literacy equips the students with knowledge to budget, save, and manage resources so that they have the freedom to make wise financial decisions and become securitized in the long run. According to the two-sided approach of both primary and secondary researches, the paper dwells upon the capability of financial knowledge in encouraging self-reliance and economy activity. Literature review gives theoretical suggestions and the empirical results, surveyed in countryside college students, indicates that there exists a state of overall lack of knowledge on financial issues. To conclude, we can say that financial literacy does not only encourage the uplift of the people but also enhances the economies in the countryside. That is to say, when students are equipped with skills in these programs to operate under any circumstances, the implication is then this that there can be the ability to create a mark upon things of significance with regards to operational functional financial capabilities.
