History
The ASI was initially started as a non-examining body when Actuaries used to get qualified from Institute of Actuaries or Faculty of Actuaries of the United Kingdom. The actuarial profession in India saw a downward trend in the early years of nationalization of the Indian insurance industry. This led to a reduction of actuarial input in both life insurance and general insurance management, and insignificant input in other areas such as pensions, insurance regulations, and academics. The downward trend resulted in a reduction of number of students taking actuarial exams. In the last few years, the actuarial profession in India has experienced tremendous growth. The ASI has grown as well with around 3,000 student members joining the society. The current president of ASI is Mr. Liyaquat Khan.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is a constant in the average American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy; a philosophy of immortality as duplication. It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
“No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now.”
—Richard M. Nixon (b. 1913)
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
