The Insurance Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (IRCSL), in collaboration with the Insurance Association of Sri Lanka (IASL), is scheduled to conduct an Insurance Awareness Program in Rathnapura today under the national theme ‘Insurance for All: For a Secure Future’.
It forms part of IRCSL’s ongoing nationwide insurance awareness campaign aimed at enhancing public understanding of insurance, strengthening consumer confidence, promoting financial literacy, and encouraging greater insurance inclusion across Sri Lanka.
The initiative is being conducted with the participation and support of insurance industry stakeholders, reflecting the collective commitment of the industry towards improving insurance awareness and promoting access to appropriate insurance solutions among communities across the country.
The main public awareness program will be held at the District Secretariat Auditorium, Rathnapura, from 2.00 p.m. to 4.20 p.m. It will feature a series of informative presentations covering key areas of insurance, including life insurance, motor insurance, non-motor insurance, the Agrahara insurance scheme for public sector employees, the Suraksha insurance scheme for school students, and the role of insurance brokers in the insurance industry. A presentation on the role of IRCSL and its regulatory responsibilities will also be delivered.
Representatives from the insurance industry and relevant institutions will share their knowledge and expertise, providing participants with a better understanding of available insurance solutions, the importance of financial protection, and the role of insurance in managing unexpected financial risks. The programme will also include a question-and-answer session to facilitate interaction and clarify insurance-related matters.
In addition, IRCSL and IASL will conduct a dedicated awareness session for insurance advisors from 8.30 a.m. to 10.00 a.m. at the same venue. It will focus on ethical insurance practices and professional standards under the theme ‘Building Trust Through Ethical Insurance Practices’, highlighting the importance of ethical conduct, professionalism, and maintaining public confidence in the insurance industry.
