“Narrowband:Circuit-Switched Systems & Architectures”

Evolving to:BroadBand Convergence & IP Networks

BIM (BroadBand Internet Mobility),

DMB (Digital Multimedia BroadBand),

BCIN (BroadBand Converged IP Networks)

3


Rural Context

• 72% of India lives in its villages

• 60% of workforce are related to Agriculture

• Agriculture accounts for only 24% of GDP

• Low Rural per capita incomes

• Nearly 200-300 Million people – ‘Living at the margin’

4


State of the Indian Farmer• Small Landholdings

• Over dependence on Rain

• Weak Infrastructure : Physical , Social, Education, Health

• Underserved on supply side

• Monopoly channel on demand side

• Over dependence on intermediaries

5


Low Risk Appetite

Weak Market Orientation

Low InvestmentLow Margins

Low ProductivityLow Value Addition

Caught in a ‘vicious cycle’ of:

Sub-optimal Development

6


The Challenge & the Solution

• Break out of the “Vicious Cycle”

and Kick start a “Virtuous Circle of Development”

• Transformational ICMT initiatives: ‘BIM’ Systems & ‘eServices’ – are needed… and available, for the first time:

“Creating New Markets & ‘Optimally’ Supporting them”

International ConnectivityCapacity in Tbps; 1 Tb = 1,000 Gb

National Connectivity

– 670,000 route KM of fiber has been deployed across the country

– BSNL alone has reached 30,000 of its 35,000 exchanges with fiber

– There is a possible capacity of up to 20 Gbps to each of these 30,000 locations

– Using wireless, satellite and other technologies, these 30,000 exchange locations can be leveraged as hubs for distributing broadband connectivity to all the surrounding villages

– Many routes between major cities (approx. 150) with > 1 Tbps capacity, and utilization less than 3 Gbps on average

ICMTs are the ‘Key eNablers’ !• Delivering ‘real time’ and completely relevant information to many

farmers – directly, across all geographies

– Facilitating informed choices

• Providing continuous / always available interactive communication channels between: Farmers, Markets, Experts and all other Stakeholders

– Creating personalized solutions

• Virtually aggregating, integrating and connecting: small farmers, customers and other Stakeholders – across the complete supply chain

– Exponentially, improving entire ‘Transactional efficiencies’

23


A Good Example

ITC’s ‘eChoupal’ Solution Inform – Empower - Compete

• Provide quality and relevant information and extension services through collaborations to build capacity to manage

• Having done awareness building , create channels for exercising those choices – both on the inputs and outputs side

• Foster Competition – both supply side and demand side – and eliminate wasteful and parasitic intermediation– Efficiently connect small producers with markets – national &

international

24


eChoupal Infrastructure• ICT Kiosk with Internet Access

– In the house of one trained farmer, Sanchalak ( a 3-in-1 solution, affordability, accessibility and operability)

– Within walking distance of target farmers

• Warehousing Hub / Store – Managed by the erstwhile middleman, Samyojak (re-

intermediation mitigated resistance)– Within tractorable distance of target farmers

• Collaborative Network of Companies– Orchestrated by ITC – With a Pan-Indian presence

25

STING Consortia ICT Workshop Jan 10, 2005 eChoupal Services

• Relevant & Real-time Information– Commodity prices, Local Weather, News

• Customised Knowledge– Farm Management, Risk Management

• Supply Chain for Farm Inputs, Services & Consumables– Screened for Quality, Demand Aggregation for Competitive

Prices & Efficient Logistics

• Direct Marketing Channel for Farm Produce– Lower Transaction Costs, Better Value through Traceability

26


Top & Bottom line improvements for the Farmer

• Higher Incomes through– Increased Yields– Improved Quality– Reduced Transaction Costs

= Higher Returns and Profitability

Power of Scale to the Small Farmer Customised Knowledge despite Heterogeneity Real-time Information despite Distances

STING Consortia ICT Workshop Jan 10, 2005 The ITC eChoupal Scale• Today

– 4950 Choupals are serving over 3 million farmers and villagers across 30000 villages (adding 6 a day)

• Enhancing yields

• Higher capture of consumer spend

• Building capacities of rural communities

• Vision– Reach 100,000 villages by 2010

• Dealing with wider variety of crops

• Pilots in watershed management and livestock management are being scaled up

• Creating infrastructure for Education and Healthcare services

• Enhancing Quality of Life in rural India

30


Multiple Barriers

• Infrastructure constraints: – Connectivity– Power

• Socio-Economic Constraints :– Educational– Financial Resources

These are all significant barriers - for rapid Scaling up.

Overview

34


Requirements for Infrastructure improvements

• Establishing efficient ‘Info-structures’:

Public-Private Partnerships between:

Union Govt., State Govts. and Govt. / Public Organisations and the Private Sector

– Deployment of Next Generation: 4G / G-less ‘Broadband Internet Mobility’ (BIM) SDR (Software Defined Radio) Convergence Systems

• Support scale-up of successful models ( e.g.: ITC eChoupal )

• Establish proper Regulatory Framework – catalyzing investments into the ‘Rural Environment: BIG Vision’ (BroadBanding India for Growth)- e.g, Rural Service Providers (RSPs) with Unified Licence.

35


Conclusion• Leveraging ICMTs innovatively and productively:

- Individual ‘eMpowerment’,

- Improving access to markets (inputs & outputs)

- Catalyzing all Socio-Economic Activities in the Rural Sector:

* Agricultural Productivity

* Agri-Businesses

* Education

* Training

* Health

* eGovernance

- Establishing viable and sustainable ‘Business Models’
