Nearly 100 agents from the state of Kerala and Tamil Nadu participated in this conference. Mr. Vivekanandam – Executive President of the association said that this association was formed as there was no union to listen to their problems and arrive at the solution. These agents were not allowed a third party commission and the rules for the regular commission are also much uninformed. He further said that the agents has approached market regulator Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority and taken up the said issue with them.

Mr. V. Pitchai, District Secretary, Centre of Indian Trade Union – guest of honour at the conference said that social security benefits are required for the insurance agents.

Mr. V. Rahgunathan, at the time of releasing the souvenir said that the insurance agents are the back of any insurance company and hence entitled to much more benefits.
