Traditional Gold/FDs vs. Market-Linked Funds for children's education. What's your strategy?

When saving for a child's dedicated future fund, what options are you leaning towards? I see a lot of older generations swearing by physical/digital gold or recurring deposits because it’s "safe," while others say Mutual Funds are the only way to beat inflation for education costs.

What’s your current mix? And honestly, do you feel confident in your setup, or do you wish there was a simpler, more guided way to manage it without having to constantly track the markets?

Parents of India: With education costs rising so fast, how are you practically saving for your kids?

Hey everyone, I’m trying to set up a solid financial base for my child's future but the options are confusing. Banks constantly push child ULIPs and insurance plans-the emotional safety net is nice, but the hidden charges seem awful compared to mutual funds. What platforms are you all using for this? Do you just use Zerodha or Groww and mentally separate your kid's money from your own, or do you actually buy those dedicated child insurance plans? Would love to know your exact setups!

Parents of India: With education costs rising so fast, how are you practically saving for your kids?

Hey parents, with school fees and future education costs rising so fast, I’m trying to figure out the best way to genuinely secure my kid's future. Whenever I talk to banks, they heavily push those child insurance plans—the emotional safety net feels nice, but the returns just don't seem great compared to normal investments. I want to build a solid corpus, but I’m confused about the best everyday approach. Do you all just start a normal mutual fund and try to mentally separate that money from your own retirement savings, or do you actually use those dedicated child plans? Would love to know how you practically manage and track it without mixing it all up!
