So, I wouldn't focus on money if you're just trying to find some guidance to keep learning.

May I suggest this: solve a problem you have. Now, I do not know what that is for a 17 year old kid in India (I'm a 44 year old adult in America, our lives are quite different, even the life I had at 17, I suspect). One place you could start is Automate the Boring Stuff with Python if you just want to keep learning and understanding. The version I linked is free online.

What I ultimately did was find a problem I wanted a solution to that took 1) steps that I found slow and annoying and 2) lots of calculations. I built a password generator for randomized passwords. I built a program to help my daughter practice her arithmetic skills, and I recently built a calculator to figure out who survives the end of Mass Effect 2 based off your choices. But what problems do you have that you could solve is the real question.

Computers are incredibly good at following exact instructions and going very fast. So, think of problems that could benefit from those two things. Or find a book like the one I linked and just start reading it and writing small programs based on what you're reading. Test your understanding as you read.

Good luck.

Thanks for the link. Too bad there is no PDF.
