Chairman Speaks

The insurance industry is pivotal in the growth path of Individuals, families, societies, nations, and even the world. The insurance industry in India is not something new but has undergone a huge transformation. All said and done, insurance awareness in India is abysmally low, as the growth statistics indicate.

Interestingly insurance as a science is not static but dynamic. It is not absolute but relative to the socio-cultural, and demographic influences in addition to other standard aspects.

This in a way leads us to the necessity of developing a knowledge base based on the local needs. In view of this need, NASIER was formed.

NASIER not only provides learning programs, is also engaged in research and publication work, interactive sessions like conferences, seminars, discussion groups, and paper presentations are also covered.

Emphasis is more on upskilling and reskilling existing resources to augment the scarce resources. Training personnel, intermediaries, providing internship options to students in their dissertations and Faculty Development Programs (FDP) are a few additional initiatives.
