Empowering the Drivers of the Hills: Darjeeling Welfare Society’s Accidental Life Insurance Initiative

In its unwavering commitment to uplift the socio-economic well-being of the people of the hills, the Darjeeling Welfare Society (DWS) has launched a pioneering initiative to provide accidental life insurance policies to hundreds of taxi and truck drivers across Darjeeling, Ghoom, Kalimpong, and Siliguri. This initiative reflects DWS’s broader vision of ensuring financial security and support for those who play a vital role in the region’s transport network.

Recognizing the daily challenges and risks that drivers face on the steep and winding roads of the hills, the DWS has taken proactive measures to safeguard their livelihoods and families. These accidental life insurance policies offer a safety net, ensuring that in the unfortunate event of an accident, the beneficiaries will receive financial compensation, relieving families of the added burden during times of distress.

By providing this crucial coverage, DWS aims to instill confidence and peace of mind in drivers, allowing them to focus on their work, knowing that their families are protected. This initiative not only supports individual drivers but also contributes to the broader socio-economic development of the region, reinforcing the community spirit that drives the hills forward.

As part of the society’s continued efforts to foster inclusive development, the DWS is committed to expanding this insurance coverage to more drivers in the coming months, ensuring that the safety and well-being of our hill communities remain a priority.
