This blog is maintained by the Centre for Insurance and Risk Management (CIRM), at the Institute for Financial Management Research (IFMR). The Centre was established to focus on innovative risk management solutions for vulnerable communities and emerge as a sectoral resource for developing risk hedging instruments for the poor. The Centre engages in product design, action research, training and policy advocacy in the space of microinsurance and provides technical support to insurers, reinsurers, governments, regulators, Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Microfinance Institutions (MFIs),  service providers and local communities to realize the collective ambition of “Safety Nets for All”.
