- Insurance is a federal subject in India. It is a subject matter of solicitation. The legislations that deal with insurance business in India are Insurance Act, 1938 and Insurance Regulatory & Development Authority Act (IRDA), 1999. Insurance is defined as is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against unforeseen risks of contingent losses. Another definition for Insurance is the equitable transfer of the risks from the possibility of occurrence of losses, from one entity to another (or host of others), by the method of diversification in exchange for a premium. As a result the ramifications of a large and devastating loss can be minimized to a great extent. An Insurer is a company designing, promoting and selling the insurance products and services amongst the public. An insured or policyholder is the person or entity purchasing the insurance products and services. Risk management, the practice of appraising and controlling everpervading risks, has evolved as a discrete field of study and practice. The study of Insurance incorporates the discipline of Risk Management which acts as a driving force.
- WBCIS- While due to adverse weather conditions, crop may not suffer the loose of yield but there can be lose in the quality of produce.
- The model employs crop yield-weather relationships at county resolution and fits robust distributions that take into account the impact of weather variability on crop production. Critical to the robustness of the model is the detrending methodology developed at AIR, which effectively isolates the weather impact from changes in technology on crop yields. That methodology relies on AIR’s Agricultural Weather Index™, or AWI™, a county- and crop-specific weather index that leverages vast amounts of high resolution weather data that AIR ingests daily to support its catastrophe models. How good is the AWI? So good that AIR’s agriculture risk modeling team has finished first in the FACT Sim Futures and Options Trading Competition in four of the last five years.
