He expounded upon diverse types of insurance—spanning agricultural, life, and others—emphasizing not merely the acquisition of insurance but also mastering the intricacies of claiming its benefits.

The seminar was met with high acclaim from the attendees, who found Mr. Banthia’s insights both illuminating and intellectually stimulating.
