door-step. The breakup of joint family system has created a greater need for security of
nuclear family. The diversified growth of economy calls for as new mind-set for
appreciation of risk in every activity of life therefore looking at the potential
opportunities and scope of growth in insurance sector I decided to pursue a summer
project in an insurance company it helped me to get a deep insight in to the working and
culture of an insurance company and immense knowledge about the insurance sector this
knowledge and experience would be of great help to me also in my future career
prospect. The project gives the overview of insurance sector, its history purpose and
current profile.

perceptions of the people in targeted segments. The existing companies as well as
companies seeking entry in the market in near future have a good potential business and
they need well-qualified and trained personnel at managerial and marketing levels this
sector has solid economic presence and is expected to grow very fast in the coming years.
