Public Affairs Round-up - September 2014 - MSLGROUPAshraf Engineer
After the bruising general election, India’s new government got down to the business of preparing the Union Budget. Much was expected of the Narendra Modi regime, which projected a pro-business, pro-reform image throughout the campaign.
While reactions to the Budget were mixed, it did include two important policy changes. Investment norms for insurance and defence manufacturing were changed to attract more foreign players. Both sectors have been touchy topics, with battlelines drawn between those for liberalised investment norms and those in favour of a more conservative approach.
It’s clear that a long, hard road lies ahead on the economic front and that these are the first steps of a fledgling government of which much is expected. There will be other, tougher decisions to make – reducing subsidies, a simpler tax regime that protects states’ interests and a land acquisition policy that will spur industrial growth while conserving land-owners’ interests, to name just a few.
With this edition, MSLGROUP’s Public Affairs Round-up takes on a new look and structure too. Now onwards, PAR will be a quarterly. It will have more detailed analyses and content than its earlier avatar, and will incorporate commentary and data that is more relevant to you.
MSLGROUP’s insights team will play the role of an observer of the Indian economic and policy environment, and will provide analyses that we hope will benefit you.
The presentation discusses the comparative study of IDBI Federal Life Insurance Co. Ltd. and LIC of India. The comparison is done on the basis of products & plans, market share, new policies issued, grievances resolved percentage, premium collection, claim settlement ratio. The presentation also gives the analysis of customer awareness and satisfaction level for both the companies.
India has a diversified financial sector, which is undergoing rapid expansion. The sector comprises commercial banks, insurance companies, non-banking financial companies, co-operatives, pension funds, mutual funds and other smaller financial entities. The financial sector in India is predominantly a banking sector with commercial banks accounting for more than 60 per cent of the total assets held by the financial system says Pawan Bansal MD of Altius Finserv.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

the country. Insurance sector in India is one
of the growing sectors of the economy. The
insurance sector, along with other elements
of marketing, as well as financial
infrastructure, have been touched and
influenced by the process of liberalization
and globalization in India. It has been
mobilizing long-term saving through life
insurance to support economic growth and
also facilitating economic development.
Now insurance sector in India is a
challenging one. There is a stiff competition
among the different insurance players. The LIC
of India is also seriously competing with other
private players. In a way private players are
trying to capture the market of the LIC of India,
which was enjoying a monopoly position for a
long period of time.
Global Performance of LIC
As per Swiss Re, global insurance
premium in the calendar year 2008 were USD
4270 billion which is slightly higher than the
USD 4128 billions in 2007. Life business
accounted for USD 2491 billions and non life
insurance accounted for the remaining USD
1779 billions. In underwriting results of non-
life insurance business remained comfortable,
investment income and return on equity fell
sharply in both life and non-life insurance. The
financial crisis and the economic down turn
severely impacted sales of single premium
products and unit - linked products. The
profitability of life insurers deteriorated in 2008
due to low investment yields, high cost of
guarantees and low revenues from asset
management fees. Solvency was impacted and
access to capital became difficult.
The -3.5 percent fall in global life
insurance premium can be attributed to a
decline in the industrialized countries (-5.3
percent) and double - digit growth in the
emerging markets (+15 percent). Non - life
premium declined marginally by -0.8 percent in
2008 due to slower demand for cover and
softening premium rates. Premium declined by
1.9 percent in the industrialized countries, but
the growth is still positive in the emerging
markets (+7.1 percent). Insurance penetration
(insurance premium as percent of GDP)
measures the level of insurance activity relative
to the size of the economy. As GDP per capital
rises, it is expected that individuals will
purchase more insurance.
Performance of LIC of India
The performance of the insurance
sector in the financial year 2008-09 was largely
influenced by the sub-prime crisis. As the
global economy entered a phase of
synchronized recession, the Indian economy
experienced a distinct moderation in real GDP
growth reflecting a creeping contagion from the
global crisis as well as slackness in cyclical
growth impulses. In relation to the record
average growth of 8.8 percent achieved during
2007-08, 6.7 percent growth in 2008-09
represents a notable deceleration, though in
terms of growth performance of major countries
around the world, Indian growth remained one
of the highest. India with its huge middle class
households, has exhibited growth potential for
the insurance industry. Saturation of markets in
many developed economies has made the
Indian market even more attractive for global
insurance major. The insurance market in India
has witnessed dynamic changes including entry
of a number of global insurers. The growth of
the LIC of India can be assessed in terms of
number of new policies issued, sum assured,
annual premium, productivity of agents, claim
settlement, and commission paid.
The LIC is striving hard to increase its
new business at a very rapid speed. It receives
new business within and outside the country
every year. It is ascertained the growth was high
in the year 2005-06 (31.75 percent). There was
negative growth in the years 2004-05, 2007-08,
and 2008-09. In all the other years, growth was
high. The compound growth rate of the number
of new business policies issued by the LIC of
India was 9.25 percent, which shows a good
performance. Performance of LIC of India was
also assessed in terms of sum assured.
The annual premium collected by LIC
of India for new business was fluctuating from
the year 1999 - 2000 to 2008 - 2009. There was
a rise in premium collection during the year
2001-2002 by 80.85 percent over the previous
year. Negative growth was recorded in 2002 -
03 by -21.89 percent, 2004 - 2005 by - 5.42
percent, 2007 - 08 by -0.21 percent, and 2008 -
09 by -14.14 percent. The compound growth
rate of annual premium collected for new
business was 13.64 percent and it was a
remarkable growth performance of the LIC of
India. Performance of the LIC of India can also

be assessed with the help of the number of
active agents from 1999-2000 to 2008-09.
Productivity of active agents has been
constantly increasing. Sum assured per agent is
the ratio between the sum assured for new
business and the total number of active agents
per annum.
The number of active agents increased
from 683190 in the year 1999-2000 to 1275 611
in the year 2008-09. Maximum sum assured per
active agent was 3 102471 in the year 2008-09.
Sum assured per agent was fluctuating year
after year due to the advertising effect, sales
promotional strategies followed by agents. The
compound growth rate of the number of active
agents was 6.47 percent. There was a
remarkable growth of agents who are actively
participating in the marketing performance of
the LIC of India. Timely payment of claims to
claimant is an important activity of the LIC.
Efficiency of an insurance company depends
upon the settlement of claims. Claim is the
return promise against the premium paid to the
insurer.
Privatization of Life Insurance Sector in
India
Scenario before privatization The Life
Insurance Corporation of India was the only
player in the field and enjoyed absolute
monopoly. It had a vast infrastructure
throughout the country. Due to lack of
competition, the organization was very
complacent. Its product lacked innovatory
approach. Mainly money back policies and the
policies which generated more commission for
the agents were mostly sold. Most of the
business was procured by agents who were not
professionally trained and lacked knowledge /
expertise to propagate the philosophy of life
insurance. Due to this handicap, the Life
Insurance Corporation of India' policies were
perceived by the public as an income than
saving instrument. A glance at the business
profile reveals that 75 percent of the business
was generated in the months of January,
February and March while remaining 25
percent of the business was procured in the
remaining nine months. Life Insurance Policy
was also perceived as an instrument of
investment for earning return and was
compared with the other financial investment
avenues. The real worth of life insurance which
included risk coverage was not appreciated.
Lack of correct appreciation had been
responsible for low response. It will be
relegation for many to know that 10 percent of
the agents procured 90 percent of the business
and the remaining 90 percent of the agents
procured the remaining 10 percent of the
business. Most of the agents did the job on part
time basis and sold the policies to their
reference group.
Post privatization scenario the
privatization of Insurance sector in 1999 has
ushered in dynamism in the field. The Life
Insurance Corporation of India has been shaken
up from its deep slumber and has been on guard
to gear up for competition. This is evident from
the policy statement issued by the Chairman of
the Life Insurance Corporation and its senior
functionaries. Private companies have entered
into the Frey with joint ventures with foreign
partners. This has been done to utilize their
expertise in the field and give an opportunity to
professionally managed companies to win the
confidence of the people. The major private
player is ICICI Prudential Life and is marketing
its product with a slogan 'We cover you at every
step in life. "Another player in the field is
HDFC Standard Life and this company has
joined hands with Standard Life Assurance
Company of UK. The company has a catchy ad
line – 'Making the life easier for you.' “Max
India Limited has joined hands with Max – New
York Life in propagating its philosophy with
the objective “Your partner for life". Aditya
Birla Group has joined hands with Sun Life
Financial Company of Canada. The company
has carried the slogan "Your dreams, our
commitment" to lure prospective customers.
These companies have launched a number of
innovative products after carrying out deep
research on the requirements of the prospective
customers. In addition to innovative products,
these private companies offer state of the art
service, professional administrative backup to
provide customer - oriented products and
efficient after sales service to the full
satisfaction of the customers. The private
operators are handicapped by lack of
infrastructure and trained work - force. In
addition to all these handicaps, the credibility
factor is of utmost importance. NBFCs have
created such a mess in the financial sector that
the investors are disillusioned by the private
companies. Since insurance and in, particular
life insurance is a long-term contract.

Conclusion
The primary function of insurance, be
it life, non life or reinsurance, is providing
protection by assessing the risk and sharing the
same with many by the process of risk sharing
and, thus, minimizing individual risk and its
impact. These basic functions are followed by
subsidiary responsibilities like efforts for
preventing losses and aiding the economic
development through the investment of funds.
The role of insurance goes beyond its primary
purpose of spreading the risk and, thereby,
minimizing the loss. The huge fund collected by
way of premium from millions of
policyholders, and the amount retained by them
as solvency funds to meet unforeseen
contingencies are invariably invested according
to the mandatory or prudential norms approved
by the regulators. Insurance pays a significant
role in shaping the economy of a nation.
