United India becomes tech savvy for crop insurance

In an effort to cater to the crop insurance needs of farmers in remote areas, United India Insurance, in association with Agriculture Insurance Co of India, has launched an Internet service. Milind Kharat, Chairman and Managing Director of United India, and P. J. Joseph, Chairman of Agriculture Insurance Company of India Ltd, formally launched the Web portal recently. Expressing concern over the fact that most of the farmers have no easy access to the offices of insurance companies, Khamat said that the portal would facilitate insurance agents to offer farmers services such as transfer of data on real-time basis and faster settlement of claims.
