The parent of Drabisha Pokhrel, Mr. Drona Pokhrel, visited our school and explained to us about insurance. We learnt a lot of things in the process and we got to know more about insurance. So, the origin of insurance can be traced to Babylon, Iraq. And he explained the phases of “insurance” very thoroughly. We learnt that people used to trade their goods which was also a type of insurance. And the bet that we wage is also an insurance which originated in England.
In the context of Nepal, the insurance started about 72 years ago which was probably 2004 B.S. The first insurance was Nepal Insurance which was established by Nepal Bank. As we learned more about insurance, we came to know that the scopes of insurance is very vast: Vehicle Insurance, Health Insurance, Marine Insurance, House Insurance, School Insurance, Hospital Insurance, and so on.
Overall, it was a great experience, learning about such a vast topic. Now, I have all the general knowledge of insurance and all thanks to my school and Mr. Drona Pokhrel.
