LIC opens 2nd divisional office in city

LIC's in-charge chairman D K Mehrotra on Saturday inaugurated the insurance firm's Patna divisional office II. With this, Bihar gets its fifth divisional office.

LIC had earlier four divisions in Bihar - Begusarai, Bhagalpur, Muzaffarpur and Patna. Muzaffarpur and Patna divisions have now been reorganized to form the fifth division. The new divisional office consists of 12 branches and 15 satellite offices spread over eight districts of the state.

Speaking on the occasion, Mehrotra said the changes in Bihar in affluence, awareness of insurance and demography are noticeable. "This is what prompted the opening of a second divisional office at Patna," he said and added it was now up to the firm's marketing and administrative teams to validate this decision by getting close to the customer both in terms of servicing and marketing.

He urged the agents, development officers and employees to walk that extra mile to maintain the LIC's position as a market leader.

Zonal manager Vinay Sah, regional manager (marketing) Rakesh Kumar and senior divisional manager of the newly-opened Patna II office Anirban Sarkar were present on the occasion.
