- Promotion of Financial Literacy: It aims to promote planning and risk management among its citizens by introducing this scheme. This includes educating people about the importance of life insurance as a tool for safeguarding their family’s future.
- Savings Motivation: It may encourage savers since those who save will find protection and incentives for saving from this kind of life insurance policy. The implementation of life insurance could even promote a savings culture within that province or region.
- Economic Stability: By providing help to people in any crisis, the program will further contribute to achieving economic stability and reduce levels of poverty coupled with the enhancement of quality lives for residents.
Features Provided by Life Insurance:

- Awareness Campaigns: Education awareness campaigns targeted toward citizens about the project would be launched as part of the government’s plans for maximum participation in it.
