VOICED : Gold glitters for Indias leaders but jewellery guarded tight

The government is encouraging citizens to deposit gold in banks to boost the economy, offering tax-free interest rates. This initiative aims to reduce gold imports by utilizing domestic reserves. Previous attempts in the 1990s failed due to high minimum deposit requirements, but the current scheme has lowered the minimum to 30 grams. The video highlights the cultural significance of gold in Indian society, where it serves as a financial safety net and is essential in social customs like marriage.
