On 1September 2014, Life Insurance Corporation India (LIC) completes 58 years of Glorious service.
LIC was formed on 1 September 1956 by merging and consolidating 245 insurance companies, as per the Life Insurance Act passed by the Parliament on 19 June 1956.
After it started functioning, by its efficient and customer oriented service, LIC grew in to one of the best PSU in a very short time. Now it is the biggest insurance company in India. Its service is also best.
The All India Insurance Employees Association is the biggest union in LIC and has got about 82% support of workers. It is part of the progressive TU movement.
On the 58 Birth Anniversary of LIC, my hearty Congratulations to the LIC, AIIEA and its workers!

Marwaris are generally rich and better of. Many of the big business houses in India are Marwaris. They have got palatial houses and spend huge amount to the extend of Rs.50-60 crores for a marriage. The middle class Marwaris also try to emulate marriages in the same which put them in financial troubles. This same problem exists all over India in all communities. How to curb this wasteful spending?
It is reported in today’s Sunday Times that the elders in Rajasthan Marwari families have put restrictions on big ticket spending for marriages. It says that marriage to be held in the village only and the invitees to be limited mainly to family members. Sweets to be limited to two and the barat also to be toned down.
If the restrictions are violated, the family will be socially boycotted.
The report says that due to the community restrictions, the wasteful  expenditure and lavish arrangements have come down. Of course, there is small section, which is not happy, which wants to show off.
Such restrictions can be emulated by others also.
