Career Desk, New Delhi. In the new year 2026, the Central Government and LIC have together started a new phase of ‘Bima Sakhi Yojana’ for the women of the country. This scheme is a boon for those women who want to create a separate economic identity for themselves along with household responsibilities. The most special thing about this scheme is that you do not need any investment to join it, rather the government itself provides you financial assistance (allowance) during the training.
What is ‘Bima Sakhi Yojana’ and its objectives?
This is a unique initiative to mainly connect women with the insurance sector. Under this scheme, women are given professional training as LIC agents. After completion of training, these women make people aware about insurance policies in their area and earn attractive commission by selling policies to them. This is a career option reserved entirely for women.
Along with training, you will get monthly stipend.
Often there is no earning while learning any work, but this is not the case in ‘Bima Sakhi Yojana’. The biggest feature of the scheme is that even during the on-the-job learning period, the government gives stipend every month to the women, so that they can complete their training without any financial stress. This allowance is transferred directly to their bank account.

LIC has laid out very simple criteria to be a part of this scheme:
