The telecom sector went through a major upheaval during the financial year 2016-17.

The entry of a new player with smart phone centric data services, free schemes and

price distortions caused major turbulence in the market during the year. The

Demonetization had further impacted the business significantly. The merger of two

major conglomerates in telecom industry has initiated a process of consolidation in

this competitive industry. These factors have impacted even IFFCO KISAN business

substantially. However, your company is confident that the concept and mission of

IFFCO KISAN is even more relevant in these challenging times to strengthen the

engagement with subscribers by providing more customized and personalized

services. The unique model topped with effective advisory services is expected to

receive greater response.

On the positive front, the introduction of Biometric Devices (BMD) in September 2016

contributed to improvement in the quality of acquisition of subscribers. BMDs have

eased the process of on boarding new customers with KYC data based on Aadhaar.

The simplified process has the potential for IFFCO KISAN to penetrate better in the

rural areas as the distribution network can be strengthened with more partners who

are directly engaged in agricultural and allied areas. Hitherto, such potential partners

were discouraged by the long and complicated processes of acquisition. IFFCO

KISAN was amongst the first to adopt the BMD facility in several Circles. The BMD

based activations stood at 84 % as on April, 2017.

Bharti Airtel leads the wireless market at 33.25% Customer Market Share (CMS) followed by the 2nd player at 25.4%. (Note: Reliance Jio data is not available with the source- COAI)

improvement in listening parameters. Average Listening Duration (ALD) of the voice

messages, on all India basis, at the end of March 2017 was 45.3 seconds as against

43.2 seconds in March 2016. By March 2017, Listening Universe (LU) increased to

2. Content Enrichment in Portal/ Mobile App

Continuous efforts were made to enrich the content on best practices for cultivation of

different crops and animal rearing so that large spectrum of users are benefitted by

visiting the “IFFCO Kisan“ mobile app/ portal. By the end of March, 2017, content on

a total of 106 items (103 crops and 3 animals) was available in the section of

Bengali, 50 in Kannad, 14 in Punjabi and 33 in Odiya. Downloads have increased

because of the rich content in the Agri library and by end of the March 2017, a total of

2.75 lakh downloads were achieved.

3. Farmers club and Farmers Producers Organizations :

Content team also increased its engagement with farmers through Farmers Club and

Farmers Producer Organizations. Farm/ village visits were organized to take up soil

testing, animal health and providing facilities for enhancing livelihood opportunities in

rural areas. Establishing a small unit of Gir Cows at Med (Jaipur) Rajasthan,

installation of water purification unit at Pandua (Hooghly), West Bengal and cumin

cleaning and grading unit at Vav (Banaskantha), Gujarat were part of income

enhancement activities under livelihood development programme.

INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY During the Financial Year 2016-17, major strides were made in IT with launch of new

applications and enhancement of existing systems. A major highlight of Financial Year

2016-17 was the launch of ‘myIFFCOKisan’, a mobile app / web portal for enhancing

internal productivity. The entire marketing channel including retailers and distributors

are geo tagged and field teams’ visits and engagement with them are recorded online

and monitored. The approval process for newly created channel, travel plans, visit

details, field events, request for payments associated with field visits and tours,

processing of reimbursements and release of payments are undertaken through this

mobile and web enabled application. Further, ‘myIFFCOKisan’ also facilitates

application of leave, attendance recording, alerts and notifications on schemes, rules

and instructions, access to status of pending applications, etc. The in-house

application has also helped in saving cost on third party tools used earlier. Possibilities

of converting this system into a product for sale to other customers is being explored.

‘IFFCO Kisan Agriculture Mobile App’, is augmented with several new features and

over 2.75 lakh farmers have downloaded the application. ‘Ask the Expert’ to raise

queries along with images of their crops for expert advice, request for loans and ‘Buy

- Sell’ module to post interest to buy or sell in agricultural commodities continue to be

favourites with farmers. The iOS version of the App was also launched during the year.

Integrated Information Management System (IIMS) was strengthened with a new dash

board. The Business ERP was enhanced with more features and the necessary

modifications to meet the requirements of new GST law are being incorporated.

In order to promote and support greenery in urban areas and also hand hold

enthusiasts in urban areas, a new application ‘IFFCO Kisan Urban Greens (IKUG)

was launched in mobile and web format. The mobile app contains detailed information

on 130 indoor and outdoor plants and also provides facilities to raise queries to

experts. Further, IKUG provides tips, best practices and guidance for raising plants in

urban households, kitchen and terrace gardens.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT Several ongoing projects were concluded successfully and business development

team embarked on new initiatives during the financial year 2016-17. The organization

had successfully concluded the Fisheries Project in Odisha launched in association

with Directorate of Fisheries, Odisha. As part of the project, four lakh fishermen were

enrolled and provided alerts and advisories on various aspects of interest to inland,

Chilika and marine fishermen. The Project is expected to be extended to cover more

fishermen.

‘IFFCO Green SIM Card’ and ‘IFFCO Samadhan’ services have drawn considerable

interest from organizations working for the development and welfare of rural India.

Your Company worked with Jeevika’ in Bihar to provide mobile phone based advisory

services to 50,000 women members of self-help groups in five districts. The initiative

is expected to be expanded to cover another 50,000 women and extended to all the

districts in the state. Similarly, 20,000 Sericulture farmers were covered in Jharkhand

in association with State Sericulture Board. The services are being expanded to cover

50,000 sericulture farmers. Many other similar initiatives are in the pipe line.

A major challenge faced by farmers is to realize best price for their produce. Towards

this, the organization is attempting to work with Farmers Producer Organizations

(FPOs) to help their collective capacity to negotiate, reduce the influence of middle

men and undertake value additions through cleaning, sorting, grading and processing.

Training and support for trading in domestic markets, direct supplies to bulk buyers

and exporters and hedging on futures trading is being extended.

KISAN CALL CENTRE (KCC) MANAGEMENT SERVICES IFFCO Kisan was awarded the contract to run Kisan Call Centre Service (KCC) by

Department of Agriculture and Cooperation (DAC), Ministry of Agriculture and

Farmers’ Welfare, Government of India in the year 2012. Our services became

operational with effect from May 2012 with 212 seats. During the year 2016-17, total

number of seats were 452. Farmers’ calls from all the States and Union Territories are

being addressed from 14 locations by 545 Farm Tele Advisors (FTAs) under the

guidance of 20 Supervisors. FTAs are capable of answering the most queries,

however, for specific subject related query, the calls are escalated to Experts. On an

average monthly 7.3 lakh calls were received out of which nearly 75% calls were

answered. During the year 2016-17, the total calls landed were 88 lakh and the

answered calls were 66 lakh. The KCC Services have drawn high national visibility

and IFFCO KISAN is actively working with DAC to ensure high quality of services to

the farmers.

IFFCO KISAN - OUTLOOK FOR 2017-18 The Company is geared up to meet the market challenges by improving the existing

‘IFFCO Green SIM Card’ based services and also deepening the relationship with

Page 13: IFFCO KISAN SANCHAR LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT … KISAN is even more relevant in these challenging times to strengthen the . 4 engagement with subscribers by providing more customized

10

farmers offering more services of relevance to them. Information, alert and advisory

services continue to be a major area of concern for farmers. IFFCO KISAN is treading

towards greater personalization with a well-conceived strategy towards data in

conjunction with voice services. Greater customization will be the focus for voice

message oriented services while personalization will be the guiding factor in the data

oriented App based services. Greater automation and induction of data analytics will

be the key strategy in furthering improving existing services.

The existing ongoing services are proposed to be augmented with on the ground

support to the farmers with diversification into adjacent areas of relevance. During the

years of engagement with farmers, the Company has observed the need for on the

ground support which will expand business opportunities and at the same time fulfill

the mission of empowering the farmer subscribers. Based on the successful

implementation of few pilots in the Country, the Company will roll out an ambitious

plan to work with farmer based and farmer focused organizations and hand hold them

to increase their collective strength. The Company will strive to leverage its

infrastructure to increase and improve engagement levels with the rural base. Credit

is a major area of concern and stress for the rural population. The Company is poised

to extend credit and savings product to the rural subscribers. IFFCO KISAN will make

major inroads into Airtel Payment Bank related services to promote cash less

Reasons for not spending the prescribed CSR amount during the Financial Year 2016-17

The Company was not able to spend the entire amount in the Financial Year 2016-17 due to the following reasons:-

(a) Out of the approved action plan for FY 2016-17, two activities under Livelihood Enhancement Projects viz, i. Neem Oil expeller unit, Village- Dehgam, Gujarat and ii. Custard Apple pulp extraction unit, Beed, Maharashtra could not be taken up because of lack of appropriate place for installation of the machines.

(b) Payment for the expenditure on chemical refill for soil testing kits (` 1.57 lakh)

and cleaning grading unit at Kolava (Vav), Gujarat (` 4.50 lakh) was made in 2017-18 after the receipt of refill kits at different destinations and installation of the unit respectively. The amount on these two activities could not be spent in time due to delay in completion of the activities.

Thus, there was an unspent amount of ` 17.56 lakh during FY 2016-17 mainly because of not implementing the above two projects and also because of the reasons mentioned above.

The company ensures that the unspent amount of Financial Year 2016-17 would be utilized during the next Financial Year, i.e. 2017-18.

ANNEXURE-B TO INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

[Referred to in paragraph 2(f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements in the Independent Auditors Report of the even date to the members of IFFCO Kisan Sanchar Limited on the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017]

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of IFFCO Kisan Sanchar Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2017 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date. Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India”. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013. Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Opinion In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2017, based on the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by ICAI.
