About "Changing perception of people towards insurance" topic:
Life insurance in India, as the years gone by, has mostly been sold by way of harping on for the tax benefits. And endowment plans have been the eternal favourites of life insurance agents. But have individuals ever spared a thought on other tax-friendly alternatives at their disposal, which could actually give them better returns than an endowment plan? So share your thoughts on the insurance as an investment.

Rightly said........Educating Public about Insurance will create a different perception as another investment option. Offer options to chose from.

Insurance should be sold as Insurance.Purchaser will buy it as an Insurance Product. This Ideal event will happen only when an Advisor will take pain to explain what Insurance is all about Buyer will patiently listen and understand it....

I agree to Nishant and John, education is the best way out to change the perception of people. Education will make them aware of the benefits and need for insurance..

1. Buy insurance for risk cover The purpose of an insurance policy is to protect the family members of a person from any financial complexities in case of his/her premature death. Such unfortunate eventuality to a breadwinner in the family can put the other family members in serious financial problems. Insurance seeks to offer financial help in such times. This, therefore, must be the main objective for buying an insurance policy. Any other benefit such as tax advantage etc. must be of secondary consideration. 2. Do not consider insurance as an investment option The primary aim of the insurance policy is to provide a risk cover. Therefore a part of the premium paid is first appropriated...

The time frame is too long. One starts getting benefits after longer period. Also due to the high charges in ulip plans people are not prefering the insurance plans.

What is stopping you from getting what you want in life? Your friends? Your family? A sense that failure – or success – might change your life and that feeling uncomfortable? A sense that the people around you might disapprove of you aiming for what you want, of you succeeding or failing. Essentially it boils down to fear. The big roadblock, sometimes the massive wall in the middle of road that keeps you from getting what you want. How to overcome it? Here´s some useful ways I have found so far. 1. Taking small steps This is good for fear that can seem overwhelming at first. For instance the strong feeling – it can almost feel like a flight or fight-response – just before doing public speaking or asking someone out for a date. If you´re for instance nervous socially you might not feel able to ask people out on dates right away. The fear of being rejected and that others might think less of you if you get turned down can make many of us feel unable to ask the question. A solution...

Social entrepreneurship in India is making greater strides towards inclusiveness by involving every strata of society to tap into the momentum and growth of the country. However, in spite of several initiatives, social entrepreneurship eco-system in India is not coming together as well as it needs to. Their focus and collaboration on solutions should be directed towards not merely one-off acts of charity, but adding up to a vast array of sustainable services across sectors and industries that help people at the base of the pyramid, which is not happening in the country now. In the post-independent era, many enterprising men with social bent of mind had ventured into setting up educational institutions, which helped the country to move out of the chaotic state into a vibrant and democratic environment. But over the decades, these established institutions which laid the foundation for modern India, because of their sheer size, were forced to evolve into large business enterprises...

HAVE. No FEAR. If you were afraid of nothing, what goals would you set? What could you accomplish? What would you do if nothing scared you or made you nervous? Fear stops success. For example, a woman who wants to get married, but she is afraid of men. So she does not get married. Or she marries someone who is wrong for her, just because he does not scare her. If you want to run a business, you will fail if you are afraid of making big decisions. If you want to be a doctor, you cannot be afraid of sick people. If you want to succeed as an athlete, you cannot be afraid of hard, painful practice. Fear of anything can ruin your success: fear of rejection, fear of being excluded, fear of anger, fear of paperwork, fear of speaking to groups, fear of stating the truth, fear of asking for money, fear of responsibility, fear of being attacked, fear of looking stupid, fear of pain, fear of displeasing someone and more. With no fear in your life, what could you accomplish? The Only Way to...

50 Things to do Before you Die Photo by Anne Froelisch 1. Set foot on each of the seven continents. Antarctica might seem like a tough one, but here’s how . Once you’ve reached all seven you can truly call yourself a world traveler. 2. Cross a country on a bicycle. A bicycle tour takes some planning , but it beats being separated from a country though a passenger-side window. 3. Ride something bigger than a horse. Trekking through the jungle on the back of a two story tall elephant will surely be something you remember forever. 4. Live like a local for a month. The experience of visiting native peoples will give you way more insight into another way of life than two years hopping from one backpacker ghetto to the next. 5. Visit a “real” blues bar in Chicago . What better way to leave music’s commercialism behind and find the soul of the blues? 6. Learn another language. This is definitely a weighty and time-consuming proposition, but there are plenty of resources...
