The recently launched Bima Sakhi scheme of the country's largest life insurance company LIC has become a super hit. It can be easily estimated by looking at the number of women joining this scheme. If we look at the statistics, more than 50,000 women have registered themselves in just one month.
This scheme was brought by the government to empower women, the special thing about which is that their earnings also start with training. Let's know about it in detail.
On December 9 last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the LIC Bima Sakhi scheme from Panipat, Haryana and now a month has passed. Within a month, this government scheme has received a tremendous response and 52,511 women have registered themselves. Out of which, appointment letters have also been sent to more than 27 thousand women after the entire process.

There is also a provision to give a monthly allowance of Rs 7,000 to the women who take training under this scheme in the first year, Rs 6,000 in the second year and Rs 5,000 in the third year. The facility of giving commission-based incentives to women who achieve their targets has also been provided.
