Smriti Irani wants school and college teachers to promote the government's newly launched insurance schemes.
The Union HRD minister has written to all chief ministers urging them to ask teachers to enrol themselves and people around them in schemes like the Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY), Pradhan Mantri Jivan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY) and the Atal Pension Yojana (APY).

"The Teachers' Day could be a great occasion to involve our esteemed teachers in enrolling not only themselves but also their family members and the members of the communities around them under these social security schemes," the letter said.

A pamphlet in which the minister has directly appealed to teachers to get involved in the schemes is attached to the letter.

Banks are already promoting it. So, its better to use existing sales point and fully utilize them instead of making Teachers a Salesman or Saleswoman. Isn't it ?

 

[Devesh]

Yes it is.
