In a groundbreaking initiative to bolster the welfare of its employees, the Karnataka government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, has announced a new insurance policy with the Life Insurance Corporation (LIC). This policy provides a substantial coverage of 1 crore rupees for accidental deaths and disabilities among government workers.
The announcement was made during a recent cabinet meeting, emphasizing the government's commitment to ensuring the financial security and well-being of its workforce. The scheme is part of a broader effort to enhance social security measures for government employees, reflecting the administration's dedication to their welfare.
This policy has been warmly received by government employee associations, who have lauded the government's proactive approach to protecting its workers. Thousands of employees across various departments are expected to benefit from this initiative, providing them and their families with much-needed financial assurance in the event of unforeseen accidents. This move signifies a significant step towards strengthening the social safety net for government employees in Karnataka.
