PREFACE
These days institutes have started giving more emphasis on the management training programme as it is the first interface of the management student with the culture of the corporate world and it also gives the first hand experience to use the knowledge acquired by them through their faculty in the corporate world. My institute that is Institute Of Technology and Science has also been looking forward in the same direction with a determination to produce quality students who have been blessed with balanced knowledge from both theoretical aspect and the practical knowledge as well. In the same context I got the privilege to undergo a summer training programme within the duration of 6-8 weeks in an organization, as a part of my M.B.A. studies. To cover this aspect, I underwent my summer training at Reliance Infocomm based at Magnum Plaza, Lucknow. In this esteemed organization I got the live project for the company which basically referred to know the A Rural Survey To Determine The Potential Of Reliance Services In The Villages Of U.P. and Uttranchal on customers of Uttar Pradesh.

affect the services as well as the cost aspect. The existent market structure consists of towns to service these retails at he village levels. But it becomes difficult maintaining he required service level in he deliver of the product at retail level. One of the way could be using company delivery vans which can serve two purposes it can take the product to the customers I every nook and corner of the market and it also enables the firm to establish direct contact with them and thereby facilitates sales promotion. However, only the bigwigs can adopt this channel. The companies with relatively fewer resources can go in for syndicated distribution where a tie up between non-competitive marketers can be established to facilitate distribution. As a general rule, rural marketing involves more intensive personal selling efforts compared to urban marketing. Marketers need to understand the psyche of the rural consumer and then act accordingly. To effectively tap the rural market a brand must associate it with the same things the rural folks do. This can be done by utilizing the various rural folk media to reach hem in their own language and in large numbers so that the brand can be associated with the myriads rituals, celebrations, festivals, melas, and other activities where they assemble. One very fine example can be quoted of HLL. A year back HLL started Operation Bharat to tap the rural markets. Under this operation it passed out low priced sample packets of its toothpaste, fairness cream, and clinic plus shampoo, and ponds to 20 million households.

WAY OF LIFE
A Rural Survey to Determine The Potential Of The Reliance Services changes have significantly increased competition around the world as new market opportunities have become open to trade. For farmers in developed countries, the level of liberalization has been profound and now-a-days farmer are not only competing with their neighbours but with farmers from neighbouiring countries and further afeild. The situation is complicated by the fact that some farmers receive subsidies and have greater level of tariff protections than others and yet all compete in a general marketplace. To remain competitive within this new environment actors along the market chain are adopting strategies to increase their economies of scale, through collective action, concentration of ownership and vertical integration. These developments generally do not favour resources poor farmers.
MARKET CONCENTRATION:One of the consequences of these changes has been a rapid concentration of market power away from producers into the hands of a limited number of trade and retail companies Vorley (2004). In many cases, major supply chains are now dominated by 4-5 transnational trading companies and their market share is growing. As result, the negotiating power within agricultural chains, over the past 20 years has moved rapidly away from the producer end of the market chain to the trade and retail sectors, with the advent of trade houses such as ADM and retail stores such as Wal-Mart,Tescos and Carrefour. This situation means that even when farmers aggregate, quality goods and sell collectively, they still have insufficient volumes of sale to negotiate effectively with four to five giant corporations. There is increasing concern that lack of competition in the marketplace is having seriously

OTHER MARKET TRENDS, HEALTH, FOOD SAFETY, SPECIALIZTION:In addition to the market policy changes there are numerous market trends being led by consumers and processors who are increasingly demanding agricultural products with greater quality, safety, and traceability. Demands for healthy lifestyle foods, particularly fruits and vegetables are increasing and the market for the organic products continues to show growth above 20% per annum. There is also rapid growth in areas such as medicinal plant cosmetic applications and growing demand for more specialized products such as herbs spices essential oils and that products hat can support biodegradable fabrics and packaging material. However trends even in these markets indicate that mainstream producers are increasing their production size to supply larger wholesale and retail markets. Traceability issues offer some producers with an opportunity to protect particular genetic location or process based products but there can be considerable cost implications t such identification systems.

During the migration to 3rd generation mobile phone networks a significant number of new BTSs will be needed to be installed at both existing and new locations. Hence these new BTSs must be more compact and lightweight than existing BTSs and be able to meet the high demands of third generations networks, for example providing connection to IP networks such as the Internet. Also in contrast to the volume of traffic, which only keeps growing, user charges continue to fall, for example now that fixed rate system have been launched. So reducing the cost of network infrastructure is becoming even more important. In response to these trends, standardization of hardware is gradually becoming a reality. For example, as a member of OBSAI (*1), a BTS standardization formulation body, we are developing an IP core for high-speed BTS interfaces that conforms to theRP3 (*2) specification defined by OBSAI. (*1) Open Base Station Architecture Initiative (*2) Reference Point 3 By responding sensitively to these various trends, we hope to aid an expansion of the BTS market. A BTS consists of an AMP, which amplifies the signals sent to the antenna and an MDE, which converts radio signals into cable signals and vice versa. The MDE consists of multiple circuits, including a high speed SERDES circuits that is used for circuit interfacing. It converts parallel signals into serial signals and vice versa.

SAMPLING PLAN
DATA SOURCES:
Mainly I a research process both Primary and Secondary types of data are used. In this research also we have taken two kinds of data sources, given below: (1) Primary data source: - Questionnaire and Interview (2) Secondary data source: - Web Pages, Companys Journals. Since its a live project considering an intensive survey of villages, questionnaires filled by through and I depth interview session with the villagers is the key source of the information.
DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENT: The instruments used for data collection is a questionnaire which is been filled by a survey team through a thorough communication and interactive session with the villagers of a particular village. Each questionnaire represents essence information about a village. So, a combination of interview and questionnaire, as a data-collecting instrument is employed. Rural Target: - Villages in the geographical region of Lucknow District. Unit Sampling Element: - An individual single village.
WAY OF LIFE
A Rural Survey to Determine The Potential Of The Reliance Services Pilot sampling size: - 500 villages in Lucknow LDCA. Sampling method: - Non-probability sampling methodology has been used. In a respective SDCA, radiating BTS were identified and then clusters of villages around the BTS were drawn. Hence in total, 11 clusters indicating 11 BTS were circle out. Analysis Strategy: - The analysis of the data should be adequate and authentic to run itys significance. The survey conducted on a sample, cant be generalized. There can be two types of error namely, Non Sampling and Sampling error. Precautions at every step have to be taken to assure fruitful and practical result and inferences. Tools and techniques, which will be used, are: SPSS software to code the open-ended data gathered through the questionnaire; employs comparative summary analysis, crosstabs, etc. Excel tool to be employed for analysis.
PROFILE OF THE RESPONDANTS:Location of the Respondents: - villages of Malhibadand Lucknow Tehsil (SDCA). The list of names of the villages has to be attached in he annexure. Main occupation: - 500 villages targeted in the rural area of Lucknow district with main occupation of faming, business, and agriculture. Age group: - Villagers above the age of 20 years were surveyed.
WAY OF LIFE
LIMITATIONS: The survey, which is been conducted, cannot be generalized to the villages coming under the other states. In the survey the villages within the 20 km range of the BTS have been taken, the remaining villages have been not taken into account. only be considered as estimated information and not a concrete fact. Since the survey is conducted through conversational interview, the data so obtained can The questionnaire filled up is also affected by the survey team member interpretation and understanding, his ability to translate what villager is trying to say. As nothing is constant forever can be regarded relevant for the current period.

SYOPSIS
(Survey Details)
A vision to survey 6,00,000 villages by the end of 2006 , a mission to provide Reliance services at 85% railway tracks and 90% highways and a core objective to achieve customer saisfaction,the survey can be clubbed up in few lines. The survey mainly focuses on the current live project undertaken which is Rural Village Survey to analyze the potential market for the company in the Indian villages. The group has a dream to acquaint the villagers of India with the technology which is currently the powerful weapon and necessity tool, mobile technology. The project aims at covering around 48,000 villages in U.P. and Uttranchal. Reliance Infocomm group is conducting a live rural survey (phase iii) with a main focus on checking Reliance Services and determining the potential of the Reliance in the rural. The first step in this process was on ground with phase I : Targeting 41 town, Phase II targeting 545 towns and phase III (Rural, Railways, Highways) with around 6,00,000 villages to be surveyed by the end of the year 2006. the entire U.P. and Uttranchal is divided into seven clusters, each cluster further divided into sub clusters.

A Rural Survey to Determine The Potential Of The Reliance Services is focusing on the Lucknow district (sub cluster) under the Lucknow main cluster. The Lucknow district (LDCA)has two SDCA, namely Malihabad SDCAand Lucknow SDCA. How the survey started up, what were the pre planning activities undertaken etc, during the survey and also after the survey was done what major further actions were taken etc, all major areas have been briefly covered below. The survey can be looked at three aspects:
(1) Pre-Survey: A list of villages through a standardized map was plotted which account approximately 490 mapped villages in Lucknow LDCA. To begin the survey a starting point has to be marked first so that taking each above mentioned BTS as center a circle of 13.5 cm was drawn. Hence all the villages under Lucknow SDCA and malihabad SDCA came under a respective BTS. This was done mainly to observe and study the signal strength, feasible range and network functioning of the respective BTS in the villages. BTS towers are positioned in the rural and now there signal strength, network functioning, market potential, in these villages in the key motive. We had an idea about number of villages to be surveyed; hence keeping in mind the number team members, a group of two persons was made.
WAY OF LIFE
A Rural Survey to Determine The Potential Of The Reliance Services Each day target was kept to be 20 villages per day by a team. Pre checking of the handsets was done. Bundles of questionnaires were made with respective BTS names mentioned. The survey team was briefed about the questionnaire, signal reading aspects and reporting criteria. Photocopies of maps, other stationary items and village list were also placed in for the survey. Information about the respective BTS to be visited was updated through technical department. An excel data entry format was created.
(2) During survey: Tracking out his survey team through telephones was the prime aspect. Any queries, issues, or problems faced by them were dealt with immediately. Path guidance and routing problems were also solved. At office end, data entry was the key role with gathering information about the areas under survey. Highlighting the villages which showed potential perspective was drawn out.
(3) Post Survey: The teams reported in the evening with filled questionnaires. These questionnaires were collected, properly placed in a plastic folder, mentioning the BTS, team went, number of questionnaires.

Team filled the reimbursement forms, which was cross checked, signed (by the project head) and then forwarded to the commercial department. New teams were formed, new places were allotted and reloading of the survey team with questionnaires, list, map, etc was done.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
WAY OF LIFE
WAY OF LIFE
A Rural Survey to Determine The Potential Of The Reliance Services A relatively high percentage of villages do not have transport four wheelers indicating few aspects of purchasing costly goods. A relatively high percentage is observed in average no. of passenger four wheelers (52%). This clearly indicates that why the percentage of transport four wheelers is less. The share is taken by passenger wheelers demand and usage in the rural. Relatively small percentage of villages (34%) does not have electricity connections, remaining villages have TV sets ranging from 10, 20, 30, and above showing the percentage of villages which can be reached out through advertisements. Relatively small percentage (7.3%) of villages are not in the area of newspaper circulation remaining villages have circulation of newspapers like Rastriya Sahara, Dainik Jagran, Amar Ujala etc which will the tools for the promotion activities for the company. The percentage of the factories in the villages is relatively very low (14%) which clearly reflects that company can not approach a cluster of customers to sell its handsets or telephones. Relatively high percentages of villages (95%) have electricity connections which removes the only drawback in mobile services. The company can go ahead with its expansion I the rural market as the state of electricity availability is comparatively good. 96% of the villages surveyed have fixed connections with only 4% having no fixed lines services.

A Rural Survey to Determine The Potential Of The Reliance Services In the area of prepaid services, Reliance has neck to neck competition with BSNL. Looking at its different perspective, heres a public Ltd. Company in competition with a Pvt. Ltd. Which shows strong position of the company? I case of PCO services BSNL has a lead but the next position is taken up by the Reliance Infocomm with a relatively low margin. An exceptional case of the company came into light through the survey was the quality of coverage of various Service Providers. By the data analysis data on the data collected, it was revealed that Reliance got the highest inequality of coverage followed by BSNL with a minute difference. Finally the signal strength analysis for the villages surveyed reveals that 59% of the villages come under the undesirable db range which indicates areas of improvement for the company. Despite of only 41% villages coming under the desired range for Reliance Services are increasing day by day. Hence, based on the above analysis a list of 125 villages with high potential to establish PCO and come up with new RCV schemes suitable for the rural have been prepared.

WAY OF LIFE
A Rural Survey to Determine The Potential Of The Reliance Services 1) The data collected cannot be considered as100% accurate but it is only an estimated figures gathered by the villagers. 2) The analysis so done cannot be regarded as the final as change is the only constant thing which happens.
OPPORTUNITIES:
1) A huge rural untapped market. 2) Mobile is no more a status symbol but a necessity for the rural too which opens door for Reliance. 3) Govt. teaming up with the company to set up PCOs and to facilitate rural with telecom services. 4) High PCO demand rising in the rural especially for Reliance Set.

SUGGESTIONS
Reliance services including mobiles and landline services are in the stage of growth and expansion Reliance has always been a market explorer by coming up with new schemes and sales promotion in the market for other to follow. The survey has also been taken up by its competitors and here are some suggestions with respect to the survey for the future improvement: To perform a detail study of the rural areas to be surveyed in advance. These will not only give a present idea about the market targeted but also save time. As been associated with the project, I suggest a close ended questionnaire to be used for the survey, I have attached a sample of such questionnaire in the annexure. The company should take effective and immediate action against the fraud firms and groups which are diluting the brand name of Reliance by collecting money for providing some services which are never given. A team of employees must be made which will accompany the survey team which will facilitate high degree of proof of authenticity.

A Rural Survey to Determine The Potential Of The Reliance Services The questionnaire must incorporate few more indicators of villages preferences, awareness and viewpoint about the reliance services. An awareness campaign about the company, its logo and how anti social elements are misusing it must be taken up. A separate rural team should be made which will handle all the complaints and requests of the villagers. Many villagers approach for PCO setup queries and request, such future customers returned unnoticed may slowly lead to shiofti9ng of companies future prospects in the hands of the competitors. The monitoring of the BTS / Repeator signal should be done at a regular basis. The villager are not aware of the repeaster or the BTS been down and hence conclude that Rliance Services are not up to the marked. But reality is, these stations needs repair and proper timely inspections . The entire survey depends upon who the survey team interacts and interprets what a villager is trying to convey. Hence , before going to the field the team itself should be made clear about he obje4ctives and motives of the survey , how to translate technical questions so that even a layman can understand. The survey will hold more importance if the data so collected is analysed in the direction fruitful for the company and reflects the comparative position of the brand in the market too.

A Rural Survey to Determine The Potential Of The Reliance Services Lucknow LDCA survey which has become a benchmark with respect to performance and expenses has drawn the following conclusions :Reliance services have tremendous amount of potential and demand in U.P.and Uttranchal. The name speaks for itself and the villagers associate themselves with the brand name. Reliance services have tight competition with BSNL followed by Airtel hutch andtata indicom. Reliance has also been able to achieve 1:1 ratio in terms of PCOs establishment in 6the villages surveyed. Reliance quality of coverage is good but the technical aspects of BTS functioning face average monitoring. Reliance finds itself second in place after BSNL in telecom field with marginal difference. Signal strength of the BTS is the main area of improvement which is deviating from the desired level. The various promotional activities been conducted by the reliance through Hindi advertisements is an effective tool. The growing demand in the rural for reliance PCOs indicates the prospects of new customers for the company. These customers are at the wide spread areas of lucknow district with monthly income ranging between 1000-2500, population between 1000-2000 and 50% of villages with relatively purchasing power in range of 1000-2000. Finally I conclude that reliance has built up a brand name which needs to be maintained through continuous feedback improvement, and proactive actions. The company has already sensed the rural market potential and now it should focus on coming up with schemes and PCO installations plans to give the rural what they want from reliance
