INTRODUCTION
 
Insurance = Collective bearing of Risk 
Insurance is nothing but a system of spreading the risk of one onto the shoulders of many. While it becomes somewhat impossible for a man to bear by himself 100%loss to his own property or interest arising out of an unforeseen contingency,insurance is a method or process which distributes the burden of the loss on anumber of persons within the group formed for this particular purpose.Basic Human trait is to be averse to the idea of risk taking. Insurance, whether lifeor non-life, provides people with a reasonable degree of security and assurancethat they will be protected in the event of a calamity or failure of any sort.Insurance may be described as a social device to reduce or eliminate risk of loss tolife and property. Under the plan of insurance, a large number of people associatethemselves by sharing risks attached to individuals. The risks, which can be insuredagainst, include fire, the perils of sea, death and accidents and burglary. Any risk contingent upon these, may be insured against at a premium commensurate with therisk involved. Thus collective bearing of risk is insurance.
