On December 9, Prime Minister Narendra Modi formally unveiled the LIC Bima Sakhi Yojana, aimed at empowering women with financial awareness and making them insurance agents, at an event in Haryana’s Panipat.
This initiative of the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) is designed to empower women aged 18-70 years, who are Class X pass.
The women will receive specialised training and a stipend for the first three years to promote financial literacy and insurance awareness. After training, they can serve as LIC agents and the graduate Bima Sakhis would have the opportunity to qualify for being considered for Development Officer roles in LIC.
It is noteworthy that the programme has been designed to provide financial and professional opportunities for women, particularly those from underprivileged backgrounds.
