In partnership with the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), this forward-thinking initiative aims to transform women into financial agents of change, equipping them with the tools to earn, educate, and empower communities.

Building Financial Inclusion from the Ground Up

Aligned with the Central Government's "Insurance for All" mission, the scheme follows a successful pilot in Haryana, with Goa becoming the second state to roll it out in December 2024.

Targeted at women aged 18 to 70 years with a minimum Class 10 qualification, the program offers them the opportunity to become trained LIC insurance agents-turning financial literacy into a sustainable source of income.
