Ch.Mahadevan, Retd.ED writes in his gmail. And what he writes is

very informative.

No of deaths of employees and officers etc is 500 & death of good number of agents has been mentioned.25000 policyholders of all life insurers are reported to have died of Covid with majority of policyholders being insured with LIC.

It is not known how many pensioners (including family pensioners) have died.
I wonder whether LIC will be able to give the information if sought under RTI.

As this is an unexpected extra mortality among the LIC employees and pensioners caused by the pandemic and there would have been heavy medical expenses incurred by the families besides the caused by cessation of pension income in future,is there not a case for LIC to provide some relief for employees of all classes ,pensioners and also agents on humanitarian grounds?

"Achyutha,Anantha,Govinda namocharana beshajath nasyanti sakala rohath ,Satyam satyam vadhamyaham"

Appeal by Sridharan G.N 6:02 PM (13 minutes ago) FAITH AND PRAYER deserve to be considered as one of the weapons to fight the virus menace. It is not without purpose that even the Westerners believe in the old dictum - 'many things are wrought by prayers'. Gandhiji said that the tenets of Hindu religion and faith has universal application .Our ancient texts do prescribe prayers as a panacea for all human ailments. For instance in Mahabharata - vide Dwadasa nama pancharam an appendix to Vishnu Sahasranamam - a sloka in the words of Bishma pitamah runs as follows: "Achyutha,Anantha,Govinda namocharana beshajath nasyanti sakala rohath ,Satyam satyam vadhamyaham" That is, he swears that uttering the various names of the Lord will cure a person of ALL his diseases.In another sloka it is said that even water from holy Ganga can be good enough a medicine (oushadam) if only we believe the Lord (sriman Narayana) as the doctor.(vaidy
