SBI General Insurance and Maruti Suzuki Insurance Broking have come together to enhance insurance awareness in the Ri-Bhoi district and Shillong. Their latest initiative, an insurance awareness camp in Nongpo, Ri-Bhoi, focused on educating locals about the critical role insurance plays in safeguarding against unexpected events like medical emergencies, property damage, and more.
The camp offered free vehicle and eye check-ups, drawing enthusiastic participation from the community. It follows a similar session at St. Mary’s Higher Secondary School in Shillong, where over 62 students learned about the importance of insurance and its various types, including health, motor, home, and fire insurance.
“Being the leading insurer in Meghalaya, we’re committed to helping people make informed decisions about their financial security,” said an SBI General spokesperson. “Our partnership with Maruti Suzuki Insurance Broking is focused on raising insurance awareness and providing the community with valuable knowledge.”This collaboration comes as a response to the alarming fact that 95% of India’s population remains uninsured. Both organizations are planning further initiatives, including partnerships with government institutions and NGOs, to drive insurance literacy and increase coverage across the region.
