Good news! LIC (Life Insurance Corporation of India) has a new program called Bima Sakhi, which is helping thousands of women across India. In just one month, over 50,000 women joined this program, and they are now earning money by helping people get insurance.
What is the Bima Sakhi Program?
Bima Sakhi is a special program where women can become LIC agents. This means they help families get insurance to stay safe and protected. The women, called “Bima Sakhis,” are trained by LIC and can start selling insurance policies. If they join the program, they also get money to help them learn and grow for the first three years.
Amazing Success So Far!
In just a month, the program has done great things:
- 52,000 women joined the Bima Sakhi program!
- 27,000 women got their official LIC papers to start working.
- 14,500 women are already helping families by selling insurance.
Why Is This Important?
This program helps women become independent. They can earn money and help their families feel secure with insurance. It is also part of India’s goal to become a “Viksit Bharat” (Developed India) where everyone, especially women, has the chance to succeed.
What’s Next?
LIC plans to make the program even bigger! They want 1 lakh (100,000) women to join next year and 2 lakh (200,000) in the next three years. This will help even more women grow and earn money.
The Bima Sakhi program is helping women become strong, independent, and successful. It is a great way for women to earn money and help their communities. This is just the beginning, and many more women will join to make a better future for themselves and their families!
