4. What is Insurance?
Insurance is basically risk management device. The losses to
assets resulting form natural calamities like fire, flood,
earthquake, accident etc. are met out of the common pool
contributed by large number of persons who are exposed
to similar risks. This contribution of many is used to pay the
losses suffered by unfortunate few. However the basic
principle is that losses should occur as a result of natural
calamities or unexpected events which are beyond the
human control. Secondly insured person should not make
any gains out of insurance.
5. Why Insurance ?
You've worked hard to build a solid financial footing for you
and your family, so you want to be sure that everything is
protected. Accidents and disasters can and do happen, and
if you aren’t adequately insured, it could leave you in
financial ruin. You need insurance to protect your life, your
ability to earn income, and to keep a roof over your head.

7. Education
Education is a powerful driver of development and one of the
strongest instruments for reducing poverty and improving health,
gender equality, peace, and stability. Although there has been great
progress in the last decade—many more children attend schools and
girls’ education has markedly improved—61 million children are still out
of school. Even when children complete school, they often do so
without acquiring basic skills necessary for work and life. This is
particularly detrimental when unemployment is high and labor
markets are demanding more skilled and agile workforces than ever
before.

financial deficiency is the biggest problem in Pakistan.
