Everyone should go for it  (for 18 -70 years only)
Even if you register at 18 and die at 70 due to an accident your total contribution for the period would be about Rs.624 (i.e. 52x12 assuming the premium remained same) but your family will get Rs.2 lac.  However, value of Rs.2 Lac in 2067 could be just 20,000, also the annual premium Rs.12 you pay after 2020  would be like going down  to Rs.8  Rs.5 and Re.1 .
Note: If you do not die in  an accident before your 70th birthday or you die a natural death you get nothing.

Looks like this is Term life Insurance Policy .

You pay Rs. 27.5 per month or annual payment of 330 to be deducted from your saving account annually by auto-debit. Aadhar Card required
In this scheme your family gets Rs. 2 Lac after your death due to any cause (accidental, natural death but please do not commit suicide).   See 1 above for actual value of 2 lacs etc.
If you take up this insurance at 18 and die say at 55, your total contribution would be Rs.12,210 (Maximum*) i.e. 37x330 (assuming the premium remains unchanged), your family get 2 lac.  

*You pay upto the age of 55 years.
Notes:
Your family will get nothing if you don't die before you attain 55 years of age (Term life policy)
If you die in an accident before 55 you get double or triple benefit Rs.2lac + Rs.2 Lac (assuming you also have Insurance No. 1 above PMSBY), Goans could get upto 6 lacs in case of  road accident death  as mentioned in 1 above.
