The government is running several schemes to empower and make women self-reliant. As part of this initiative, LIC (Life Insurance Corporation of India) launched the ‘Bima Sakhi Yojana’ last year. This scheme is specially designed for women who have passed the 10th grade, providing them with a great opportunity to earn. Under this scheme, women can earn up to ₹7,000 per month and more than ₹2 lakh in 3 years. To apply for this scheme, the applicant must be between 18 and 70 years old.
Golden Opportunity to Become an LIC Agent with Special Training
Under this scheme, 10th pass women will receive special training to become LIC agents. The government aims to train 2 lakh ‘Bima Sakhi’ women across the country in the next 3 years. After completing the training, women can start working as LIC agents. Additionally, graduate women may also get the opportunity to become Development Officers in LIC.
Earn While You Train
Selected women will receive a stipend during their training period under the ‘Bima Sakhi’ scheme. The stipend will be as follows:
- ₹7,000 per month in the first year
- ₹6,000 per month in the second year
- ₹5,000 per month in the third year
In these 3 years, women can earn over ₹2 lakh through the stipend, and they can also increase their income through commissions.
