The program offers training and opportunities as LIC agents for women aged 18-70, targeting their professional growth and participation from underprivileged backgrounds.

The Goa government has introduced the Bima Sakhi Yojana, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's initiative aimed at empowering women through financial literacy and access to insurance services. Chief Minister Pramod Sawant announced the launch of the program, emphasizing the 'Har Ghar Insurance' concept to ensure insurance coverage for all households in the region.
