The Indian life insurance industry has its own origin and history, since its inception. It has passed through many obstacles, hindrances to attain the present status. The income earning capacity of an individual citizen of a nation and the eagerness and awareness of the general public are the two key determinants of the growth of any insurance industry. For that they should provide wider and mass-employment opportunities and sound educational system. More over, the general public must be inculcated with more knowledge, awareness and importance about life insurance, and these steps help to boost the growth of insurance industries. In this Indian context, the insurance habit among the general public during the independence decade was quite rare and in the following decades, it slowly got increased. There was a remarkable improvement in the Indian insurance industry soon after the acceptance and adaptation of Liberalization, Privatization, and Globalization (LPG) in the year 1991. After 1991 the Indian life insurance industry has geared up in all respects, as well as it is being forced to face a lot of healthy competition from many national as well as international private insurance players. The fall in the savings rate and increased competition in the primary market and particularly the aggressive mobilization by the Mutual Fund posed serious challenges before LIC. The present paper reviews the impact of globlisation, its threats and how to avoid those threats.

Advertising is the communication link between the seller and the buyers or the consumer. It does not simply provide information about products and services but is an active attempt at influencing people to action by an overt appeal to reason or emotion. Advertisements are designed to sell the products of the advertiser and to influence favourably the public mind individually and collectively with respect to the interests of the advertiser. Advertising inspires customers to purchase the products. It is said that an advertisemsnt is waste It only increase the cost and the money spent on it also goes waste. But today in the age of competition advertisement has become a part and parcel of man's life and it haunts us all the time. In this modern age even a progressive businessman cannot succeed without the help of advertisement. He has to deliver an attractive and forceful advertisement to promote the sale of his product. Advertising is so powerful and popular that it is taken as equal to marketing. Mass media are used intensively to advertise products. Marketing without advertising seems to be impossible. Advertising is just a magic stick to actualize marketing goals.

Audio recording of the interviews, and field notes were the modes of data management. Analysis of data was approached qualitatively, with a search for themes, in alignment with the objectives of the study.

Quality of life has been one of the major areas of interest and attention seeking concern for researchers. There is no doubt that life is common to all but quality of life varies from individual to individual, irrespective of their age and background. However, we as researchers tend to group individuals matching on some aspect or the other, thus the quality of life of that particular group will be static and dynamic, this statement does not hold much weight. But yes, people having some of the common factors in some aspect of life would share some common quality of life that is for sure. Self Efficacy and Self Regulation are considered and proven as key determinants of quality of life and life satisfaction over the globe and across the ages, but independently. This may be a new and first attempt to examine their strength i.e. magnitude and the direction of relationship with quality of life in one study or altogether. Participants for the present study consisted of 120 school going adolescents, age ranging between 13-17 years, who were randomly selected from boarding schools of Solan District of Himachal Pradesh. A selection criterion of sample was age, socio-economic status, educational level and occupational status. WHO Quality of Life Scale, Self Regulation Questionnaire-Academics, and General Self Efficacy Scale were administered on the participants and Bivariate correlation technique of parametric statistics was applied on the raw scores obtained to draw the inference about the data. Results revealed that there is significant positive correlation among the variables i.e. QOL & GSE; QOL & SRQ, but QOL & SRQ are comparatively highly significantly positively correlated than QOL & GSE, however a distinctive result was revealed that GSE & SRQ-A are not significantly correlated.
