Special campaign for the revival of lapsed policies of LIC

Like past many occasions, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) has come up with a new Revival Campaign. Basically,  the motive of the campaign is to reduce the lapsation of policies and renewing the relation with old policyholders. Therefore increase the persistency ratio.
