Financial life of a family is very crucial. However less importance is given for financial literacy among structural rural poor, hence the interventional study was taken up to address the gap with Social Work Intervention. The researcher proposed In-Basket technique (one of the technique practiced in Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA)) to spread financial literacy. The Present study was interventional in nature hence, Single Subject Research design (AB Model) was adopted to assess baseline and intervention phases of level of financial anxiety among families. Three structural poor families were chosen for study in Kunte village.Nelamangala block, Bengaluru rural District, Baseline assessment was done by using structured Financial Anxiety Assessment scale, Intervention was done by using In-basket technique. Considerable changes found after intervention in the level of financial anxiety of the family members.
