On the occasion of India’s 76th Republic Day, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) unveiled “Dharohar – Milestones in the Indian Securities Market,” a comprehensive digital knowledge repository. The platform celebrates the long-standing history of organised trading in India, spanning over 150 years. It aims to preserve and showcase the evolution of the securities market while fostering greater awareness and understanding among various stakeholders.
“Dharohar” offers an extensive archive of over 3,000 assets, including articles, regulations, interviews with prominent figures, historical newspaper clippings, share certificates, infographics, videos, and committee reports. Designed as an interactive platform, the repository features a timeline of significant milestones and 3D galleries, providing an engaging experience for a wide audience. Students, researchers, investors, journalists, market participants, and the general public can explore the history, diverse products, participants, and institutions of the market.
The creation of “Dharohar” is a result of collaborative efforts involving numerous contributors. SEBI acknowledged the support and expertise of individuals, institutions, members of the Monitoring and Advisory Committee of Project Dharohar, former chairpersons, whole-time members, employees, scripophilists, industry leaders, and associations. Their collective efforts have enriched the repository with historical and cultural significance.
SEBI has also emphasised that Dharohar will continue to grow, with new additions being made regularly. This ensures that the platform remains dynamic and increasingly valuable for users. By preserving the history of the securities market, SEBI has taken a significant step towards promoting financial literacy and creating a deeper connection between stakeholders and the market.
“Dharohar” serves as a testament to the Indian securities market’s remarkable journey and its impact on the nation’s financial ecosystem. By offering valuable insights and engaging resources, the repository is a significant step towards promoting financial literacy and preserving the market’s historical milestones.
