Know your right and be happy


We feel proud, when we know our rules and regulations towards our duty and rights. We have very strong law for every field and their basic aims are providing and protecting our rights. During the session of Kaun Banega Crorepati, we have learned many things from star of the millennium Mr. Amitabh Bachchan Jee. His one sentence is most effective i.e. “knowledge is the power”. If you have knowledge you not need to have the power of money, power of politics, power of guns etc. Sometime we forget our rights or we don’t know what’s our actual rights are, in that time other are enjoying the event to offer their help with monetary benefits, might be you will agree and get completed our task. But can anyone tell me is it the right way?

We need to focus on our knowledge, at least for those sectors where our works persist many times. Do you know basic rights toward insurance? How Insurance Company liable to give you services within time frame as prescribed by IRDA. IRDA can make rules for you, but you can take the advantages of rule when you know these basic rules.
