Tamil Nadu, Aug 01: <\/strong> HDFC ERGO General Insurance Company, India\u2019s leading non-life insurance providers in the private sector, announced its plans to promote insurance awareness in Tamil Nadu, in line with IRDAI\u2019s vision of \u2018Insurance for All by 2047\u2019, at a press conference held in Chennai today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insurance penetration in India stands low at 4.2% as compared to the global penetration of 7.4%. To bridge this gap and to spread awareness on insurance to the last mile, IRDAI has set up \u2018State Insurance Plan\u2019, which involves a cohesive effort of the regulator, state government authorities and insurers to ensure that the agenda of insurance inclusion and development is run in a sustainable manner. HDFC ERGO has been nominated to represent as the \u2018lead insurer\u2019 for Tamil Nadu and Puducherryand is poised to conduct several engagements activities to drive the awareness around insurance in these two regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of Phase 1 of this initiative, for Tamil Nadu, the Company has conducted health camps in districts of Ramanathapuram, Madurai, Cuddalore and Dindigul. Apart from this, the Company also plans to conduct village contact programs and other on-ground awareness activities across select villages and towns across Tamil Naduto promote Government led low ticket size insurance products, which will protect individuals from sudden risks across the rural hinterlands of Tamil Nadu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting on the initiative,Mr. Anuj Tyagi, Joint Managing Director at HDFC ERGO General Insurance<\/strong> said; \u201cGuided by the regulator\u2019s vision of \u2018Insurance for All\u2019 by 2047, at HDFC ERGO, we are focussing on three pillars to drive Insurance awareness to the last mile\u2013 \u2018Awareness, Affordability and Accessibility\u2019<\/strong>. As a leading General Insurer of India, we are cognizant of the low awareness levels of Insurance in our country, specially across the rural landscape, and take it as our prime responsibility to educate the individuals about the need for insurance as a financial risk protection tool and importance of insurance.  We have 619 employees spread across 33 branches in the state. The entire initiative led by a very senior professional, is likely to help increase penetration of insurance with support of the regulator, state government authorities, and the other insurance companies to leverage their strengths to make affordable insurance accessible in the remote areas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also present at the press conference was Mr. Sanjeev Kumar, Branch Banking Head \u2013 Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Pondicherry, HDFC Bank. <\/strong>The Bankremains committed to supporting its General Insurance subsidiary, HDFC ERGO for taking insurance to the last mile of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HDFC ERGO has been conducting several awareness activities to promote insurance awareness across the country. The company will be organising Junior insurance awareness quiz for the 8th<\/sup> consecutive year to insulate the knowledge of insurance in young minds.<\/a> Students from ~100 Government schools from Tamil Nadu are expected to register for this quiz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, the Company also hostedCrop Insurance Week in Tamil Nadu to promote awareness among farmers about various schemes under the Pradhan Mantri FasalBima Yojana (PMFBY). The Company will continue to host such meaningful activities in future. Going forward the Company also plans to further deepen its reach to the last mile by driving engagement activities with help of NGOs and Self-Help Groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
