The government of the day, through its policy decisions can effectively use
technology, can bring about unprecedented changes in the way people live their
lives, communicate, interact and conduct business.
Believing that IT interventions can become an enabling tool for reaching out to the
citizens of the country with ease, speed and economy, the Government of India
launched the Common Services Centre’s (CSC) Scheme in 2006 as a part of its
initiative under the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP). Through the CSC
scheme, the government has committed itself to addressing the divide, since it
believed that e-governance would improve the standards of living of those on the
wrong side of the divide and those residing in the rural areas, and allow them
access to economic opportunities available to their urban counterparts.
The Common Service Centres (CSCs) are the Hub or Community Centres for the
delivery of all e-governance and other services to the rural people. Sahaj e-Village
Limited is in the process of setting up of over 28000 ICT enabled e-kiosks across
rural India dovetailed with the NeGP scheme to impact livelihood opportunities for
the rural communities. IT based rural information services have been developed to
provide information and services to meet the needs of the rural population in the
areas of agriculture, education, vocational training, health and hygiene. The idea is
to provide sustainable digital access to rural India giving the necessary impetus for
upliftment.
Information services and products range from e-governance services, utility
services, payments, deposits, insurance and other financial services and a host of e-
information and e-learning facilities which are delivered through these CSCs. Each
CSCs is positioned at a ratio of one CSC for every six-census villages.
A CSC in a village is completely operated by the Village Level Entrepreneur
(VLE) and monitored by the Regional Control Centre (RCC) and Central Control
Centre (CCC). The funds for these arrangements are managed by Sahaj. The idea is
to develop a platform that can enable Government, Private and Social sector
organizations to integrate their social and commercial goals for the benefit of the
rural population in the remotest corners of the country through a combination of IT
as well as non-IT services. The aim of the scheme is not only to roll out IT
infrastructure but also to build a network of over 28000 rural businesses across
India. To that effect, the CSC scheme has been designed to create a value
proposition for all stakeholders and alignment of their economic interests.
“E-Governance today is like a half empty glass, some people look at the part
that is full, some look at the part that is empty”
e- Governance is the use of Information Technology for free movement of
information to overcome the physical barriers of traditional paper and physical
based systems. It enhances the access to technology and delivery of government
services to benefit citizens, business partners and employees.
At Sahaj, we can help in developing systems that effectively streamline internal
government procedures and operations to simplify and improve functioning of the
government. This in turn facilitates seamless transaction of information and
services to rural India. Our consultants from the Government and Information
Technology sectors are culturally aware and have the capability to deliver end-to-
end solutions. They bring the right experience and expertise to design the reference
architectures and roadmaps to achieve the e-Governance objective. We also take
into account security, associated risks and other change management aspects while
framing the e-Governance strategy.
We are the ideal partner for companies in implementing projects which span across
geographical boundaries and different cultures and require the right mix of services
from different service providers.
Dedicated to investing in growth opportunities
Sahaj e-Village Limited genuinely believes in selecting investment opportunities in
the e-Governance space with robust business models coupled with significant
growth potential.
Sahaj looks to market some of the exciting value propositions to the Governments
at large, thus, identifying enterprising and insightful rural entrepreneurs capable of
accelerating and maximizing their growth potential.
PPP Project Implementation
Funding is the foremost issue in e-Governance initiatives. The projects that are part
of the e-governance initiatives need to be funded either through the government
sector or through the private sector. The projects can be built either on BOO (Build
Own Operate) or BOOT (Build Own Operate Transfer) basis.
The main revenue model of implementing an integrated platform, joining all the
functions of government, exists in terms of saving immense costs, which are
involved in maintaining existing channels of functioning of government, and in
distribution of information. It would drastically cut down the costs incurred on
manual transfer of information, administrative costs, etc.
Revenue could be generated from advertising revenues through the portal, making
additional services available at a premium. Also increase in overall awareness
amongst people would help generate self-employment that will create revenues for
the government.
Achieving success in e-Governance requires active partnerships between
government, citizens and the private sector. The e-governance process needs
continuous input and feedback from the `customers’— the citizens, resident,
businesses and officials who use electronic public services. Their voices and ideas
are essential to making e-Governance work. Hence, e-governance has to be a
shared vision with all the stakeholders – government and non-government –
participating in defining this vision.
For e-governance initiatives, the three Ps – Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is a
must. The PPP model of development focuses on collaboration between the public
and the private sector. It recognizes the importance of the private sector in reaching
development goals by promoting business, creating income, providing jobs as well
as developing a sense of corporate social responsibility. The public and the private
sector recognizing the overlapping goals, see the opportunities for cooperation, and
work side by side in mutual projects.
Skill Development & Strategic Business:
Project Udaan

Extra-curricular activities
As a part of the Udaan training, we emphasise on the overall development of the
youth. Domain specific training is definitely the core of the program, but, we also
make efforts to engage them socially by conducting tours, organizing extra-
curricular activities like cricket matches, movie trips and maintain communal
harmony by celebrating all festivals with the team.

in Noida as an educational trip
The Impact
It is an honour for Sahaj to be associated with this project as a training partner to
the Government. The cause of encouragement, enlightenment and inclusion of the
youth of Jammu and Kashmir is very close to the hearts of the leaders at Sahaj and
that is precisely why the Udaan training centre has been established within the
Sahaj Noida office, where these young minds are not only provided skill training,
but, are also constantly mentored by the passionate team leading the project.
The project has faced us with multi-dimensional challenges ranging from
topographical difficulties, climatic adversities, cultural differences, religious
diversities and economic polarization. Every challenge has made us stronger and
more committed towards the objective of integrating Jammu and Kashmir with the
rest of the country.
Udaan candidates with Mr. Dilip Chenoy (MD & CEO, NSDC)
We have set a record of excellence and exceeded the expectation of the
Government by mobilizing 207 candidates against a target of 170. This has been
possible through our keen understanding of the challenges in the execution and
seamless human involvement at each and every step from mobilization, placement
and post placement tracking. All candidates trained by us under this project are
associated with us for life now.
The impact that it has brought about in their lives is a positive permanent change
not only towards economic sustenance, but also cultural, social and intellectual
enrichment.

SURVEY REPORT METHODOLOGY:
Survey Report Design : Descriptive Survey Report
Survey Report Instrument : Structured, un-disguised
Sample Method : Non-Probability Sampling
Sample Size : 50
Sampling Design : Convenience Sampling
Sources of Data
 Primary Data : Structured Non-Disguised Questionnaire
 Secondary Data : Reference from distributors & banks.
The whole study is based upon primary and secondary data. Therefore, information has been
collected from interacting with different investors and from various magazines, journals,
websites, and bulletins.
LIST OF INFORMATION REQUIRED
Primary Data: Primary data are generated when a particular problem and hand is investigated
by the Survey Reporter employing mail questionnaire, telephone survey, personal interviews,
observations, and experiments.
METHOD USED IN COLLECTION OF DATA
1. Personal Interview: In personal interview, the investigator questions the respondents in
a face-to-face meeting. Personal interviews may be conducted on a door-to-door basis or
in public places such as shopping centers. The usual approach for the interviewer is to
identify himself to a potential respondent and attempt to secure the respondent's co-
operation in answering a list of predetermined questions. These answers may be tape-
recorded or written down by the interviewer.
Advantages
a. It requires relatively shorter period of time to complete.
b. Survey Reporter can procure many different types of information.
c. The amount of information procured on each aspects is larger.
d. The results can be Survey ed to the relevant universe with a greater degree of accuracy.
Disadvantages
a. The cost per completed interview is relatively higher as compared to other methods.
b. The investigator may have to face relatively more difficulties in administering the
interview schedule.
c. The investigators themselves may involve in cheating which is very difficult to detect.
2. Telephone Survey: In telephone survey, prospective respondents are telephoned, usually
at homes, and asked to answer a series of questions over the telephone.
This form of the survey technique has become more popular in recent years in advanced
countries more people are having telephones at their houses.
Advantages
a. It can be conducted at a lower cost as compared with personal interviews.
b. The interviews can be completed very quickly. Thus, speed is the most significant
advantage.
Disadvantages
a. The information on each aspect can be obtained to a limited extent.
b. Visual aids cannot be used.
c. It is difficult to keep respondents on the phone for any length of time if the survey is not
of keen interest to them.
TYPE OF SAMPLING USED
We used non-probability type of sampling.
In non-probability sampling, the chance of any particular unit in the population being selected is
unknown. Since randomness is not involved in the selection process, an estimate of the sampling
error cannot be made. But this does not mean that the findings obtained from non-probability
sampling are of questionable value. If properly conducted their findings can be as accurate as
those obtained from probability sampling.
Convenience Sampling
As the name implies, a convenience sample is one chosen purely for expedience (e.g., items are
selected because they are easy or cheap to find and measure.
While few analysts would find credibility in conclusions from such extreme cases, the
inappropriateness of using convenience sampling to estimate universe values is not widely
recognized. The major problem with this (and other non-probability method) is that one is
unable to draw objective inference about a rigorously defined universe. In practice, it is often
found that the response given by "convenient" items in a universe differ significantly from the
responses given by universe items that are less accessible. As a result, unless one is dealing with
a known highly homogeneous universe (virtually all items responding alike), convenience
sampling should not be used to estimate universe values.
Sample Size
The sample size taken in the Survey work is 50. The area selected is Varanasi and its
surrounding area.
Convenience sampling method was used in this study because of the constraints like cost and
time.

CONCLUSION
The end of millennium marks 44 years of existence of mutual funds in this country. The ride
through these 44 years is not been smooth .Investors opinion is still divided .while some are for
the mutual funds others are against it.
Mutual Funds (MF) have become one of the most attractive ways for the average person to invest
his money. It is said that Bank investment is the first priority of people to invest their savings and
the second place is for investment in Mutual Funds and other avenues. A Mutual Fund pools
resources from thousands of investors and then diversifies its investment into many different
holdings such as stocks, bonds, or Government securities in order to provide high relative safety
and returns. . Also generate leads of the prospective investors in Mutual Funds for the Asset
Management Company (AMC)
There are many improvements pending in the field and it has to happen as soon as possible so as
to call the MF industry as an Organized and well-developed sector.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Tapping the upcoming market - Semi Urban Market as there is a lot of opportunity.
Most of the Mutual Funds are operating in the metros and big cities as per their present
branch office locations. If they have to increase their market size they have to open more
distribution centers at the various urban and semi-urban markets.
2. To create the awareness about the different products of Mutual Fund and not about the
generic product. Various respondents were not aware of the mutual fund products and the
type of mutual fund schemes and the risk associated with mutual fund products.
3. To provide some kind of curriculum at the school/college level to create awareness
regarding Mutual Fund.

  • 25. The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual Our strengths are such magnanimous that it keep us ahead of our contenders. Sahaj is the universal sustenance platform for entrepreneurs of different categories and for all those who are underprivileged and uncared for but have the passion to make it happen by taking the world in their stride.  Sahaj offers connectivity and opportunity for digital information services where none existed. Thus it gives access to millions of the rural populace.  Sahaj is the FIRST organization to offer to digital, static and human publicity opportunity in the rural areas.  Sahaj has a network which is backed by internet connectivity as well as financial and physical presence in the form of 24,000 plus (28000+ mandated) franchisees or Village Level Entrepreneurs.  Sahaj has over a 1,000 employees working for this noble initiative.  We cater to more than 280 million rural customers in 107 districts, 1,388 Blocks and 36,155 Gram Panchayats. Our IT backbone Sahaj boasts of a Tier-III Data Center in association with CISCO and HP. With an area of approximately 2,000 sq.ft, the Data Center houses racks and equipment with an ability to cater to all the CSCs. Some of the salient features are:  24x7x365 onsite security  Silent alarm and automatic notification  N+1 redundancy at all levels  Smoke detection and fire suppression integrated with Building Management System  CISCO powered network with 99.5% availability  Connectivity from multiple ISPs  24x7 NOC monitoring  IDS and IPS installed  Motion-detection for lighting and CCTV coverage.
  • 26. The Data Centre was built with the following objectives in mind: 1. 99.5 per cent uptime 2. Secured transactions 3. Planned infrastructure maintenance by switching over to failover without impacting the availability. 4. Ability to service peak concurrent loads of 3000 users. That's not all: 1. The current DC is scalable up to 20 per cent increase in load. 2. The bandwidth provided by ISP can scale up to 10 per cent depending upon incoming traffic. The government of the day, through its policy decisions can effectively use technology, can bring about unprecedented changes in the way people live their lives, communicate, interact and conduct business. Believing that IT interventions can become an enabling tool for reaching out to the citizens of the country with ease, speed and economy, the Government of India launched the Common Services Centre’s (CSC) Scheme in 2006 as a part of its initiative under the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP). Through the CSC scheme, the government has committed itself to addressing the divide, since it believed that e-governance would improve the standards of living of those on the wrong side of the divide and those residing in the rural areas, and allow them access to economic opportunities available to their urban counterparts. The Common Service Centres (CSCs) are the Hub or Community Centres for the delivery of all e-governance and other services to the rural people. Sahaj e-Village Limited is in the process of setting up of over 28000 ICT enabled e-kiosks across rural India dovetailed with the NeGP scheme to impact livelihood opportunities for the rural communities. IT based rural information services have been developed to provide information and services to meet the needs of the rural population in the areas of agriculture, education, vocational training, health and hygiene. The idea is to provide sustainable digital access to rural India giving the necessary impetus for upliftment. Information services and products range from e-governance services, utility services, payments, deposits, insurance and other financial services and a host of e- information and e-learning facilities which are delivered through these CSCs. Each CSCs is positioned at a ratio of one CSC for every six-census villages.
  • 27. A CSC in a village is completely operated by the Village Level Entrepreneur (VLE) and monitored by the Regional Control Centre (RCC) and Central Control Centre (CCC). The funds for these arrangements are managed by Sahaj. The idea is to develop a platform that can enable Government, Private and Social sector organizations to integrate their social and commercial goals for the benefit of the rural population in the remotest corners of the country through a combination of IT as well as non-IT services. The aim of the scheme is not only to roll out IT infrastructure but also to build a network of over 28000 rural businesses across India. To that effect, the CSC scheme has been designed to create a value proposition for all stakeholders and alignment of their economic interests.
  • 28. “E-Governance today is like a half empty glass, some people look at the part that is full, some look at the part that is empty” e- Governance is the use of Information Technology for free movement of information to overcome the physical barriers of traditional paper and physical based systems. It enhances the access to technology and delivery of government services to benefit citizens, business partners and employees. At Sahaj, we can help in developing systems that effectively streamline internal government procedures and operations to simplify and improve functioning of the government. This in turn facilitates seamless transaction of information and services to rural India. Our consultants from the Government and Information Technology sectors are culturally aware and have the capability to deliver end-to- end solutions. They bring the right experience and expertise to design the reference architectures and roadmaps to achieve the e-Governance objective. We also take into account security, associated risks and other change management aspects while framing the e-Governance strategy. We are the ideal partner for companies in implementing projects which span across geographical boundaries and different cultures and require the right mix of services from different service providers. Dedicated to investing in growth opportunities Sahaj e-Village Limited genuinely believes in selecting investment opportunities in the e-Governance space with robust business models coupled with significant growth potential. Sahaj looks to market some of the exciting value propositions to the Governments at large, thus, identifying enterprising and insightful rural entrepreneurs capable of accelerating and maximizing their growth potential.
  • 29. PPP Project Implementation Funding is the foremost issue in e-Governance initiatives. The projects that are part of the e-governance initiatives need to be funded either through the government sector or through the private sector. The projects can be built either on BOO (Build Own Operate) or BOOT (Build Own Operate Transfer) basis. The main revenue model of implementing an integrated platform, joining all the functions of government, exists in terms of saving immense costs, which are involved in maintaining existing channels of functioning of government, and in distribution of information. It would drastically cut down the costs incurred on manual transfer of information, administrative costs, etc. Revenue could be generated from advertising revenues through the portal, making additional services available at a premium. Also increase in overall awareness amongst people would help generate self-employment that will create revenues for the government. Achieving success in e-Governance requires active partnerships between government, citizens and the private sector. The e-governance process needs continuous input and feedback from the `customers’— the citizens, resident, businesses and officials who use electronic public services. Their voices and ideas are essential to making e-Governance work. Hence, e-governance has to be a shared vision with all the stakeholders – government and non-government – participating in defining this vision. For e-governance initiatives, the three Ps – Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is a must. The PPP model of development focuses on collaboration between the public and the private sector. It recognizes the importance of the private sector in reaching development goals by promoting business, creating income, providing jobs as well as developing a sense of corporate social responsibility. The public and the private sector recognizing the overlapping goals, see the opportunities for cooperation, and work side by side in mutual projects.

  • 31. The Impact It is an honour for Sahaj to be associated with this project as a training partner to the Government. The cause of encouragement, enlightenment and inclusion of the youth of Jammu and Kashmir is very close to the hearts of the leaders at Sahaj and that is precisely why the Udaan training centre has been established within the Sahaj Noida office, where these young minds are not only provided skill training, but, are also constantly mentored by the passionate team leading the project. The project has faced us with multi-dimensional challenges ranging from topographical difficulties, climatic adversities, cultural differences, religious diversities and economic polarization. Every challenge has made us stronger and more committed towards the objective of integrating Jammu and Kashmir with the rest of the country. Udaan candidates with Mr. Dilip Chenoy (MD & CEO, NSDC) We have set a record of excellence and exceeded the expectation of the Government by mobilizing 207 candidates against a target of 170. This has been possible through our keen understanding of the challenges in the execution and seamless human involvement at each and every step from mobilization, placement and post placement tracking. All candidates trained by us under this project are associated with us for life now. The impact that it has brought about in their lives is a positive permanent change not only towards economic sustenance, but also cultural, social and intellectual enrichment.

  • 35. SURVEY REPORT METHODOLOGY: Survey Report Design : Descriptive Survey Report Survey Report Instrument : Structured, un-disguised Sample Method : Non-Probability Sampling Sample Size : 50 Sampling Design : Convenience Sampling Sources of Data  Primary Data : Structured Non-Disguised Questionnaire  Secondary Data : Reference from distributors & banks. The whole study is based upon primary and secondary data. Therefore, information has been collected from interacting with different investors and from various magazines, journals, websites, and bulletins. LIST OF INFORMATION REQUIRED Primary Data: Primary data are generated when a particular problem and hand is investigated by the Survey Reporter employing mail questionnaire, telephone survey, personal interviews, observations, and experiments. METHOD USED IN COLLECTION OF DATA 1. Personal Interview: In personal interview, the investigator questions the respondents in a face-to-face meeting. Personal interviews may be conducted on a door-to-door basis or in public places such as shopping centers. The usual approach for the interviewer is to identify himself to a potential respondent and attempt to secure the respondent's co- operation in answering a list of predetermined questions. These answers may be tape- recorded or written down by the interviewer. Advantages a. It requires relatively shorter period of time to complete.
  • 36. b. Survey Reporter can procure many different types of information. c. The amount of information procured on each aspects is larger. d. The results can be Survey ed to the relevant universe with a greater degree of accuracy. Disadvantages a. The cost per completed interview is relatively higher as compared to other methods. b. The investigator may have to face relatively more difficulties in administering the interview schedule. c. The investigators themselves may involve in cheating which is very difficult to detect. 2. Telephone Survey: In telephone survey, prospective respondents are telephoned, usually at homes, and asked to answer a series of questions over the telephone. This form of the survey technique has become more popular in recent years in advanced countries more people are having telephones at their houses. Advantages a. It can be conducted at a lower cost as compared with personal interviews. b. The interviews can be completed very quickly. Thus, speed is the most significant advantage. Disadvantages a. The information on each aspect can be obtained to a limited extent. b. Visual aids cannot be used. c. It is difficult to keep respondents on the phone for any length of time if the survey is not of keen interest to them.
  • 37. TYPE OF SAMPLING USED We used non-probability type of sampling. In non-probability sampling, the chance of any particular unit in the population being selected is unknown. Since randomness is not involved in the selection process, an estimate of the sampling error cannot be made. But this does not mean that the findings obtained from non-probability sampling are of questionable value. If properly conducted their findings can be as accurate as those obtained from probability sampling. Convenience Sampling As the name implies, a convenience sample is one chosen purely for expedience (e.g., items are selected because they are easy or cheap to find and measure. While few analysts would find credibility in conclusions from such extreme cases, the inappropriateness of using convenience sampling to estimate universe values is not widely recognized. The major problem with this (and other non-probability method) is that one is unable to draw objective inference about a rigorously defined universe. In practice, it is often found that the response given by "convenient" items in a universe differ significantly from the responses given by universe items that are less accessible. As a result, unless one is dealing with a known highly homogeneous universe (virtually all items responding alike), convenience sampling should not be used to estimate universe values. Sample Size The sample size taken in the Survey work is 50. The area selected is Varanasi and its surrounding area. Convenience sampling method was used in this study because of the constraints like cost and time.

  • 55. CONCLUSION The end of millennium marks 44 years of existence of mutual funds in this country. The ride through these 44 years is not been smooth .Investors opinion is still divided .while some are for the mutual funds others are against it. Mutual Funds (MF) have become one of the most attractive ways for the average person to invest his money. It is said that Bank investment is the first priority of people to invest their savings and the second place is for investment in Mutual Funds and other avenues. A Mutual Fund pools resources from thousands of investors and then diversifies its investment into many different holdings such as stocks, bonds, or Government securities in order to provide high relative safety and returns. . Also generate leads of the prospective investors in Mutual Funds for the Asset Management Company (AMC) There are many improvements pending in the field and it has to happen as soon as possible so as to call the MF industry as an Organized and well-developed sector.
  • 56. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Tapping the upcoming market - Semi Urban Market as there is a lot of opportunity. Most of the Mutual Funds are operating in the metros and big cities as per their present branch office locations. If they have to increase their market size they have to open more distribution centers at the various urban and semi-urban markets. 2. To create the awareness about the different products of Mutual Fund and not about the generic product. Various respondents were not aware of the mutual fund products and the type of mutual fund schemes and the risk associated with mutual fund products. 3. To provide some kind of curriculum at the school/college level to create awareness regarding Mutual Fund.
