Insurance is mandatory in the prevailing risky environment. Insurance provides economic protection to the individual and business concern. Insurance gives financial protection to the insured against the unexpected losses. Insurance density and penetration of India is low, because the awareness of insurance among the people is very less. Creating awareness and importance of insurance in the student hood will create a transformation. This course will help to create a considerable impact in the student mind.
