♦ Alwar district in Rajasthan became the first district in the country to achieve 100% insurance coverage under the Centre's ‘Insurance for All by 2047' roadmap, an achievement in line with the vision of a ‘Secure India–Insured India' at the grassroots level. The roadmap is a joint initiative of the Govt of India and the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), a statutory body under the Ministry of Finance.
♦ A total of 1,367 uninsured people over the age of 10 from nine different villages were brought under insurance coverage after systematic door-to-door surveys, taking the district's total coverage to 100%. Insurance policies were formally handed over to the beneficiaries during a programme chaired by additional district collector Bina Mahawar.
♦ The nine villages — Bhulla Ka Bas, Bichpuri, Palankheda, Antapada, Hanumanta, Kalyanpura, Morodkhurd, Kodalka and Lalpur — have now been formally declared as fully insured.
