What is Insurance?Insurance is basically risk management device. The losses toassets resulting form natural calamities like fire, flood,earthquake, accident etc. are met out of the common poolcontributed by large number of persons who are exposedto similar risks. This contribution of many is used to pay thelosses suffered by unfortunate few. However the basicprinciple is that losses should occur as a result of naturalcalamities or unexpected events which are beyond thehuman control. Secondly insured person should not makeany gains out of insurance.

Why Insurance ?

protected. Accidents and disasters can and do happen, and

if you aren’t adequately insured, it could leave you in

financial ruin. You need insurance to protect your life, your

ability to earn income, and to keep a roof over your head.

Even when children complete school, they often do sowithout acquiring basic skills necessary for work and life.
