The academy - NIANIA is a training, research, education and outreach academic institution that works with scholars, practitioners, policy experts, and government officials to bridge academic theory and real-world practice. NIA is now a term used to describe the bustling activity associated with insurance markets, trade, and commerce. Here the world of action and the world of learning are unified. In addition, our openness emphasizes the fallibility of man and the need for competitive dialogue. NIA seeks to foster this dialogue and to highlight the dynamic experimentation and innovation that are essential features of the market process. NIA’s ongoing Public Sector Leadership as promoters has been a source of strength, which manifests the concept and importance of Private Public Partnership (PPP).

Diversification and integration

We just completed our Silver Jubilee year. We have diversified to harness the full effect of our core competencies. But we have also quickly integrated our learning platform to create a forward-looking cohesive institution within the preamble of its societal structure. Core training activities in all lines of insurance and risk management are boldly cemented to education, research and publication activities.

NIASEE meant for working executives.

To accomplish the mission of the academy, our

efforts are characterized by: A free market approach, which promotes vigorous competition based on knowledge and skills. An atmosphere of integrity, trust, respect, cooperation and open communication between insurers, regulators, faculty, the media and the general public. It is NIA’s policy to maintain the highest learning standards and comply with the letter and spirit of the academic best practices available anywhere in the World. This is an exhilarating and challenging time for insurance in India. The pace of progress is rapid, and the sophisticated tools available to insurers and even customers today - from underwriting, loss adjusting to new technologies supporting business - far surpass anything that could have been predicted only a few decades ago

Extramurals

Our educational philosophy is to give students an opportunity to go beyond the core curriculum and pursue electives and independent study, with a wide range of opportunities for second degrees. Students have many opportunities for extracurricular experience, whether working in the laboratory or learning from an internationally prominent investigator or caring for a family with no insurance through our superb STUDENT program. 

And for students seeking a dual-specialization, we offer a variety of advanced training opportunities, leading to degrees in multiple disciplines. We have expanded our post-graduate opportunities beyond the usual insurance and risk management disciplines to support functional specializations in areas such as strategic management, finance, marketing,

IT and the humanities.

Working together

NIA works in close collaboration its our patronising organisations as an integrated constituent for execution of our suggestions. NIA internalises individual learnings into organisational learning. With the insurance archives at NIA premises, it has a strong organisational memory to bank with. NIA always keeps its schedule and steps out of the commercial considerations to provide value-added services and information to the patronising organisations or industries.

There is a wealth of talent and experience in insurance industry today. And today, more than ever before, whether it is in life insurance, general insurance and reinsurance, in the investment management or human resource management, talent and experience without the disciplined framework of formal training is rarely enough.
