WHAT IS INSURANCE The business of insurance is related to the protection of the ECONOMIC VALUES OF ASSETS. Every asset has a value. The asset would have been created through the efforts of the owner. The asset would have been created through the efforts of the owner. The asset is valuable to the owner, because he expects to get some benefits form it. It is a benefit because it meets some of his needs. The benefit may be an income or in some other form. In the case of a factory or a cow, the product generated by it is sold and income is generated. In the case of a motor car, it provides comfort and convenience in transportation. There is no direct income. Both are assets and provide benefits. Every asset is expected to last for a certain period of time during which it will provide the benefits. After that, the benefit may not be available. There is a life-time for a machine in factory or a cow or a motor car. None of them will last forever. The owner is aware of this and he can so manage his affairs that by the end of that period or life-time, a substitute is made available. Thus he makes sure that the benefit is not lost. However, the asset may get lost earlier. An accident or some other unfortunate event may destroy it or make it incapable of giving the benefits. An epidemic may kill the cow suddenly. In that case, the owner and those enjoying the benefits therefore, would be deprived of the benefits. The planned substitute would not have been ready. There is an adverse or unpleasant situation. Insurance is a mechanism that helps to reduce the effects of such adverse situations. It promises to pay to the owner or beneficiary of the asset, a certain sum if the loss occurs.

HISTORY OF INSURANCE  Insurance has been known to exist in some form or other since 3000 BC. The Chinese traders, traveling treacherous river rapids would distribute their goods among several vessels, so that the loss from any one vessel being lost, would be partial and shared, and not total. The Babylonian traders would agree to pay additional sums to lenders, as the price for writing off the loans, in case of the shipment being stolen. The inhabitants of Rhodes adopted the principle of general average of ‘general average’, whereby, if goods are shipped together, the owners would bear the losses in proportion, if loss occurs, due to jettisoning during distress. {Captains of ships caught in storms, would throw away some of the cargo to reduce the weight and restore balance. Such throwing away is called jettisoning} The Greeks had started benevolent societies in the late 7 th century AD, to take care of the funeral and families of members who died. The great fire of London in 1666,in which more than 13000 house were lost, gave a boost to insurance and the first fire insurance company, called the fire office, was started in 1680.  The origins of insurance business as in vogue at present, is traced to the Lloyd’s Coffee House in London. Traders, who used to gather in the Lloyd’s coffee house in London, agreed to share the losses to their goods while being carried by ships. The losses used to occur because of pirates who robbed on the high seas of because of bad weather spoiling the goods or sinking the ship. In India, insurance began in 1818 with life insurance being transacted by an English company, the Oriental Life Insurance Co. in 1870 in Mumbai. This was followed by the Bharat Insurance co. in 1896 in Delhi, the Empire of India in 1897 in Mumbai, The United India in Chennai, the National, the National Indian and Hindustan Cooperative in Kolkata.  Later, were established the cooperative Assurance in Lahore, the Bombay Life (originally called the swadeshi life), the India Mercantile, the new India and the Jupiter in Mumbai and the Lakshmi in New Delhi. These were all Indian companies started as a result of the swadeshi movement in the early 1900s. By the year 1956, when life insurance business was nationalized and the life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) was formed on1st September 1956, there were 170 companies and 75 provident fund societies transacting life business in India. After the amendments to the relevant laws in 1999, the L.I.C. did not have the exclusive privilege of doing life insurance business in India. By 31.8.2007, sixteen new life insurers had been registered and were transacting life insurance business in India.

The History of Insurance in India Some of the important milestones in the life insurance business in India are:  1912 - The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act enacted as the first statute to regulate the life insurance business.

 1928 - The Indian Insurance Companies Act enacted to enable the government to collect statistical information about both life and non-life insurance businesses.

 1938 - Earlier legislation consolidated and amended to by the Insurance Act with the objective of protecting the interests of the insuring public.

 1956 - 245 Indian and foreign insurers and provident societies taken over by the central government and nationalized. LIC formed by an Act of Parliament, viz. LIC Act, 1956, with a capital contribution of Rs. 5 crore from the Government of India. The General insurance business in India, on the other hand, can trace its roots to the Triton Insurance Company Ltd., the first general insurance company established in the year 1850 in Calcutta by the British.

Life Insurance a Basic Need Life insurance is a contract providing for payment of a sum of money to the person assured or, failing him, to the person entitled to receive the same, on the happening of certain event. A family is generally dependent for its food, clothing and shelter on the income brought in at regular intervals by the bread winner of the family. So long as the he lives and the income is received steadily, that family is secure; but should death suddenly intervene the family may be left in a very difficult situation and sometimes, in stark poverty.

Uncertainty of death is inherent in human life. It is this uncertainty that is risk, which gives rise to the necessity for some form of protection against the financial loss arising from death; insurance substitutes this uncertainty by certainty.

Few Advantages of Life Insurance 1. It is superior to an ordinary savings plans: This is so because unlike other saving plans, it affords full protection against risk of death. In case of death, the full sum assured is made available under a life assurance policy; whereas under other savings schemes the total accumulated savings alone will be available. The latter will be considerably less than the sum assured, if death occurs during early years. 2. Insurance encourages and forces thrift: A savings deposit can be too easily withdrawn. Many may not be able to resist the temptation of using the balance for some less worthy purpose. On the other hand, the payment of life insurance premiums becomes a habit and comes to be viewed wit the same seriousness as the payment of interest on a mortgage. Thus insurance, in effect brings about compulsory saving. 3. Easy settlement and protection against creditors: The life assured can name a person or persons to whom the policy moneys would be payable in the event of his death. The proceeds of a life insurance policy can be protected against. The claims of the creditors of the life are assured by effecting a valid assignment of the policy. A married women’s property act policy constitutes a trust in favor of the wife and children and no separate assignment is necessary. The beneficiaries are fully protected from creditors except to the extent of any interest in the policy retained by the assured. 4. Administering the legacy for beneficiaries: It often happens that a provision which a husband or father has made through insurance is quickly lost through speculative or unwise investment or by unnecessary expenditure on luxuries. These contingencies can be provided against in the case of insurance. The policyholder can arrange that in the in the event of his death the beneficiary should receive, instead of a single sum (a). payment of the net claim amount by equal installments over a specified period of years, or (b).payment of the claim amount by smaller monthly installments over the selected period followed by a lump sum at the end thereof. 5. Ready marketability and suitability for quick borrowings: After an initial period, if the policy holder finds him unable to continue payment of premiums he can surrender the policy for a cash sum. Alternatively he can tide over a temporary difficulty by

taking loan on the sole security of the policy without delay. Further a life insurance policy is sometimes acceptable as security for a commercial loan. 6. Tax relief: For computing income tax (especially in India the Indian income tax act) follows deduction from income tax payable, a certain percentage of a portion of the taxable income of individuals which is diverted to payment of insurance premiums. When this tax relief is taken into account it will be found that the assured is n effect paying a lower premium for his insurance.

How Insurance Works The mechanism of insurance is very simple. People who are exposed to the same risks come together and agree that, if any one of the members suffers a loss, the others will share the loss and make good to the person who lost. All people who send goods by ship are exposed to the same risk related to water damage, ship sinking, piracy, etc. those owning factories are not exposed to these risks, but they are exposed to different kinds of risks like, fire, hailstorms, earthquakes, lightening, burglary, etc. like this, different kinds of risks can be identified and separate groups, made including those exposed to such risks. By this method, the risk is spread among the community and the likely big impact on one is reduced to smaller manageable impacts on all. If a Jumbo Jet with more than 350 passenger’s crashes, the loss would run into several crores of rupees. No airline would be able to bear such a loss. It is unlikely that many Jumbo Jets will crash at the same time. If 100 airline companies flying Jumbo Jets, come together into an insurance pool, whenever one of the jumbo jets in the pool crashes, the loss to be borne by each airline would come down to a few lakhs of rupees. Thus, insurance is a business ‘sharing’.

Role of Insurance in Economic Development  For economic development, investments are necessary. Investments are made out of savings. A life insurance company is a major instrument for the mobilization of savings of people, particularly from the middle and lower income groups. These savings are channeled into investments for economic growth.  An insurance company’s strength lies in the fact that huge amounts come by way of premiums. Every premium represents a risk that is covered by that premium. In effect, therefore, these vast amounts represent pooling of risks. The funds are collected and held in trust for the benefit of the policyholders.  The management of insurance companies is required to keep this aspect in mind and make all its decisions in ways that benefit the community. This applies also to its investments. This is why successful insurance companies would not be found investing in speculative ventures. Their investments benefit the society at large.

 The system of insurance provides numerous direct and indirect benefits to the individual and his family as well as to industry and commerce and to the community and the nation as a whole. Those who insure, both individuals and corporate, are directly benefited because they are protected from the consequences of the loss that may be caused by the accident or fortuitous event. Insurance, thus, in a sense protects the capital in industry and releases the capital for further expansion and development of business and industry.  The very existence of risk that is, uncertainty concerning the future, is a severe handicaps in economic activities. Insurance removes the fear, worry and anxiety associated with this future uncertainty and thus encourages free investment of capital in business enterprises and promotes efficient use of existing resources.

 Thus insurance encourages commercial and industrial development and there by contributes to a vigorous economy and increased national productivity.  Present day organization of industry, commerce and trade depend entirely on insurance for their operation, banks and financial institutions lend money to industrial and commercial undertakings only on the basis of the collateral security of insurance. No bank or financial institution would advance loans on property unless it is insured against loss or damage by insurable perils.  Insurers are closely associated with several agencies and institutions engaged in fire loss prevention, cargo loss prevention, cargo loss prevention, industrial safety and road safety. Before acceptance of a risk, insurers arrange survey and inspection of the property to be insured, by qualified engineers and other experts.  The object of these surveys is not only to assess the risk for rating purposes but also to suggest and recommend to the insured, various improvements in the risk, which will attract lower rates of premium and what is more important , reduce the loss potential. For example, burglary surveyors make recommendation in regard to security measures such as better locking system, appointment of Watchman, etc. Engineering surveys play a most

useful part in accident prevention as valuable technical advice is provided in respect of plant and machinery.  Insurance ranks with export trade, shipping and banking services as earner of foreign exchange to the country. It helps to earn foreign exchange and represent invisible exports.

Meaning of Recruitment Finding the right people is a make-or-break factor for success in business today. Recruiting the top talent for a job takes time and you have to attract quality candidates who have the knowledge and skills needed to help your company grow. The fact is, your success with recruitment depends on how well you prepare your job ad, and use source of recruitment, and your interviewing skills. Prepare a job ad that works to start, you want to be sure that your potential candidate truly understands the job. The clearer you are with the task description, working conditions and advantages, the less time you will waste examining and rejecting applications The essentials of any job description are: 

A brief description of your company



Detailed outline of the tasks involved



Qualifications and experience required



Equipment and resources used to do the work



Skills required using them.

However, you should also include work benefits (e.g., vacation, travel and perks), general working conditions (e.g., scheduling, outside work) and the specific traits required (e.g. Team Building and Communications skills). Ultimately, you want to be perceived as an attractive employer in a competitive market. Find the right recruitment vehicle choose the vehicle that best works for your company, depending on your budget and resources. Word of mouth, or simply telling your employees, friends and colleagues about a job opening, is a less expensive strategy but generates fewer candidates. The advantage is that you already know something about your recruiters and their skills, knowledge and achievements. This is a preferred method with companies that have a finder's fee program for their employees. Advertising is a toss of the dice. If it goes well, it can help you find ideal candidates in a regional, national, or international pool. If not, it's a costly investment yielding few results. Make sure to factor in the time it takes to go through

a large number of resumes. Employment agencies cost more but generally provide a good range of candidates. The employment advisors look at your needs, screen a number of candidates, and only send you the applications that meet your requirements. Bear in mind that the largest employment agencies do not necessarily offer the best choice of candidates. There are numerous agencies that specialize in recruitment in specific sectors. Recruiting online such as monster.ca, workopolis.com and jobboom.com. These can provide inexpensive, worldwide access to employees. In fact, 65% of job seekers now have access to these types of services. Using the Internet for recruiting usually involves regular visits to specialized recruitment sites, joining newsgroups, and posting your job openings on recruitment sites, electronic publications and on your own Web site.

After recruitment the next part is selection of best candidates.

Make the interview deliver Since the purpose of an interview is to identify and verify the candidate's potential, it should be structured to bring out all the desired competencies and aptitudes. Remember that you have to decide between the candidates: you could create a point system or analysis grid for comparing their strengths and weaknesses. Here are a few points to consider when structuring an interview:  Make a list in advance of the points for discussion and corresponding questions.

 Present the candidates with a situation they could face on the job and ask them how they would react. This will enable you to evaluate the candidates' knowledge, skills and work methods.

 Ask the candidates to describe some difficult situations encountered in previous jobs and to explain the way in which they were resolved. This will give you the chance to gauge the candidates' self-confidence, creativity and problem-solving skills.

 Ask the candidates to describe a difficult situation involving colleagues and how it was resolved. This will enable you to test their aptitude for teamwork.

 Ask the candidates about their ambitions and plans to ensure they fit your company profile. Beware of asking questions about personal interests. They can get the interview off track or annoy people who want to keep their work and private lives separate.

Finding Why people are not ready to work with private players in life insurance? Or Why people are not ready to work as an agent in any company?  In these days LIC created a very well image in the mind of General public because it is semi Government Company and also an oldest company. In short most people of Indian believe upon the LIC only.  During the training period we felt that most of people who are already working in insurance sector think that it is easy to sell the product of LIC than to sell the product of other life insurance company.  Most of people say that this job affects upon their social relation with other and also effect upon their business.

 Most of people believe that private insurance companies carried out fraud activity that’s why they never believe upon the private players.  People think that it is a time consuming activity and also required huge market skills.  Some people said that only greedy people like to work in insurance sector.

I concluding the whole story it can be said that people are much more aware about the aspects of life insurance and also have knowledge about the role and act of agent but mostly people unwilling to work as life insurance agent and mostly people prefer to work with LIC because it is a semi government corporation.
