Collaboration with Insurance Providers

The Life Protection Plan (LPP) for blue-collar workers and other employees, covering death due to any cause – natural or accidental, became effective from March 1, 2023.

Implementation

The terms and conditions on how the LPP will be implemented were worked out between the companies recruiting Indian blue-collar workers and the insurance service providers.

Welfare of Indian Community

Commenting on the launch of the LPP, Consul General Satish Sivan stated, “Welfare of the Indian community remains our utmost priority.”
