Launched in 2016, HDFC ERGO Insurance Awareness Awards Quiz Junior is a pioneering learning initiative that builds insurance aptitude and enriches the extracurricular record of the participants. Insurance is often misunderstood to be an investment and a tax saving tool only, which is not the ideal reason one should purchase insurance. Insurance helps bring life to near normalcy, in case individuals face catastrophic situation like an accident, flood, fire, illness, or others. Through this initiative, HDFC ERGO seeks to involve the parents, as well, in assisting the participating students understand the concept of insurance and thereby, encouraging them to learn more.
