India Urgently Needs Flood Insurance Amid Rising Disaster Risks

Imagine a big storm or a river overflowing.

When this happens, houses can get ruined, and people lose their things.

Flood insurance is like a promise that helps people pay for these damages.

But in India, not many people have this insurance.

This means when floods hit, people don't have money to fix their homes or replace what they lost.

The government is working on ways to make it easier for people to get insurance, like through special programs and teaching people about it.

The goal is to protect people from losing everything when floods happen.
