Vikriiniite
The micro finance industry has shown the financial strength of rural India and the Indian hinterland. Hence, it is logical to assume that the insurance industry also has a huge potential in rural India. Only what is required is innovation, in terms of policies and products, prices and premium values, designing proper distribution channels. The onus is now on the Indian insurance industry to collaborate and understand the requirement of the rural households and comes up with solutions tailor made for them and there is every possibility that a new episode of Indian Insurance industry will be framed.
