General Awareness (40 questions)

Read the passage given below and then answer the questions given below the passage. Some words may be highlighted for your attention. Read carefully.

Financial Inclusion (FI) is an emerging priority for banks that have nowhere else to go to achieve business growth. The viability of FI business is under question because, while banks and their delivery partners continue to make investments, they haven’t seen commensurate returns. In markets like India, most programmes are focussed on customer on-boarding, an expensive process that people often find dif­ficult to afford, involving issuance of smart cards to customers. However, a large-scale customer acquisition hasn’t translated into large-scale business, with many accounts lying dormant and therefore yielding no return on the bank’s investment. For the same reason, Business Correspondent Agents (BCAs), who constitute the primary channel for financial inclusion, are unable to pursue their activity as a full-time job. One major reason for this state of events is that the customer on-boarding process is often delayed after the submission of documents (required to validate the details of the concerned applicant) by the applicant and might take as long as two weeks. By this time, the initial enthusiasm of applicants fades away. Moreover, the delivery partners don’t have the knowledge and skill to propose anything other than the most basic financial products to the customer and hence do not serve their banks’ goal to expanding the offering in unbanked markets.

Contrary to popular perception, the inclusion segment is not a singular impoverished, undifferentiated mass, and it is important to navigate its diversity to identify the right target customers for various programmes. Rural markets do have their share of rich people who do not use banking services simply because they are inconvenient to access or have low perceived value. At the same time, urban markets, despite a high branch density, have a multitude of low wage earners outside the finan­cial net. Moreover, the branch timings of banks rarely coincide with the off-work hours of the labour class.

Creating affordability is crucial in tapping the unbanked market. No doubt pricing is a tool, but banks also need to be innovative in right-sizing their proposition to convince customers that they can derive big value even from small amounts. One way of doing this is to show the target audience that a bank account is actually a lifestyle enabler, a convenient and safe means to send money to families or make a variety of purchases. Once banks succeed in hooking customers with this value proposition, they must sustain their interest by introducing a simple and intuitive user application, ubiquitous access over mobile and other touch points, and adopting a banking mechanism that is not only secure but also reassuring to the customer. Technology is the most important element of the financial inclusion strategy and an enabler of all others. The choice of technology is therefore a crucial decision, which could make or mar the agenda. Of the various selection criteria, cost is perhaps the most important. This certainly does not mean buying the cheapest package, but rather choosing that solution, which, by scaling transactions to huge volumes, reduces per unit operating cost. An optimal mix of these strategies would no doubt offer an innovative means of expansion in the unbanked market.

81

Which of the following facts is true as per the passage?

  1. ((a))

    People from rural areas have a high perceived value of banking services.

  2. ((b))

    Cost is not a valid criterion for technological package selection for financial inclusion initiatives.

In the following passage, some of the words have been left out. Read the passage carefully and select the correct answer for the given blank out of the five alternatives.

India Backbone Implementation Network (IBIN) project was launched on April 19, 2013 by the Planning Commission. The purpose of IBIN is to improve (A) of policies, programs and projects that the twelfth five year plan has identified as of critical importance. The ultimate objective is to accelerate inclusive and faster growth. The IBIN has been launched in view of the finding that several projects and schemes have been facing (B) at the implementation level in districts, state and the central level. Poor coordination among agencies, poor implementation and faulty delivery systems have been (C) for the poor state of health, education and other public services. Need has been emphasised to convert confusion into coordination, contention into collaboration and intention into implementation.

IBIN has been modelled on the very successful ‘Total Quality Movement’ (TQM) in Japan. In the 1960s and 70s, it transformed the capabilities of Japanese organisations in the private and public sectors. Techniques and systems were (D) in Japan through the participation of universities, manufacturers, etc. The emphasis on quality and efficiency made Japan (E) with high level of delivery systems at all levels. IBIN (F) the tools of collaboration, coordination and implementation. This movement may take time in showing results, yet it is a bold and much needed initiative.

The TQM movement in Japan offered techniques and tools to teams within organisations and inter-organisational teams to make rapid improvements of processes. The Planning Commission studies best practices for coordination and implementation in (G) countries like Korea, Brazil, Malaysia and Germany.

The twelfth five year plan has introduced several innovations to improve planning, communication and implementation.

The IBIN movement will (H) techniques and skills for collaboration, coordination and better planning through a network of agencies in the country, like Administrative Staff College of India, the Indian School of Business, UNDP and the World Bank to achieve certain national goals in important sectors.

India has a huge potential but there are many (I) to growth. Implementation failures are rooted in systemic problems. There is a need for shared vision and role clarity among the stakeholders of a process or system. The IBIN is designed to catalyse a movement for collaboration and implementation and is (J) to grow as a movement of learning facilitated by a network of capabilities. Tools and techniques include quality tools and social science techniques for dialogue and alignment.
