CRIF High Mark, a leading Indian credit bureau, today, launched the second edition of its Rural Business Confidence Index in collaboration with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). The Index provides an outlook of rural business sentiment in 2022 and reports that the rural business confidence score as of 2022 stands at 73.5, witnessing a growth of 9.6 points over 2021.

The Survey for RBC Index was conducted by CII on their members operating in rural locations. The survey sample consists of entities from Micro, Small, Medium, and Large corporations. The findings of the survey collected from the rural markets at a pan-India level suggest that 70% of respondents expect government policies and schemes to drive rural growth to improve in 2022; 59% of respondents expect the profitability of their organization to enhance in 2022, 82% of respondents expect digital penetration to accelerate in 2022. Additionally, the insights highlight that 43% of respondents expect the availability of skilled workforce to improve in 2022, and 69% of respondents expect improvement in the quality of infrastructure in rural India in 2022. Furthermore, it cites that 64% of respondents expect the order book of their organization to improve in 2022 and 42% of respondents expect ease of access to credit to improve in 2022.

The report also illustrates that, there has been an impressive expansion of credit in rural geographies from FY21 to FY22 with a 25% growth in Retail originations by value and 85% by volume, 30% growth in Microfinance originations by value and 21% by volume, and 28% growth in Commercial loan originations by value. However, there was a 5% de-growth in volume in the same period. Additionally, the findings note that the Average Ticket Size in FY22 for Retail is ₹1.3 Lakh, for Microfinance is ₹37.5K, and for commercial loans is ₹133 Lakh, as compared to ₹1.9 Lakh for Retail, ₹ 35K for Microfinance and ₹98 Lakh for Commercial loan segment in FY21.
Mr B Thiagarajan, Chairman, CII National Task Force on Rural Development & Migrant Workforce and Managing Director, Bluestar India said, “Today, more than ever, Rural Economy has become central to India’s economy. The increase in the Business Confidence score from 63.9 to 73.5 reflects impressive resilience during COVID Pandemic and demonstrates faster growth in the last 2 years. Rural India today is beginning to witness emergence of new players and new models to create the desired localized cycle of growth. We are confident that the Index will act as critical enabler for taking strategic decisions towards inclusive rural economic development.”

Mr. Sanjeet Dawar, MD, CRIF High Mark, said, “The second edition of the Rural Business Confidence Index observes that there is an increase in credit demand by rural India with the growth of rural loan disbursements by 26% by value and 64% by volume during the period FY21 to FY22. The RBCI 2022 score is at 73.5, a YoY increase of 9.6 points, highlighting the rural markets’ uptick and resilience in the last two years despite the pandemic distractions, reinforcing hope and development into the business activities.”

The RBCI score is an essential parameter to reflect the macroeconomic outlook across industries in the rural sector. The Rural inflation (CPI) decreased from 5.9% in 2020-21 to 5.4% in 2021-22 coupled with government budget allocation on the sector which increased by 15% between 2021 and 2022. The index computation leverages data that comes from three sources – Survey data provided by CII, Credit Bureau data provided by CRIF High Mark, and Macro-Economic data from RBI and various Government of India bodies.

Celebrating the Gift of Life: Apollo Honors Organ Donors on Valentine’s Day

  • Apollo Hospitals, Delhi held a special felicitation celebration with more than 60-70 patient families having undergone a transplant

  • Event highlighted the sacrifice made by spouses, relatives and near ones to save the life of a loved one
     

As the world celebrated Valentine’s Day, the day of love and togetherness, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals organized, a unique event to celebrate the essence of the day. While some shower gifts to their loved ones, others offer something more priceless. The donation of an organ – the proverbial gift of life – was celebrated with doctors, patients, donors and loved ones celebrating sacrifice and eternal love at the event.

 

More than 70 families, each of whom having experienced an organ transplant as a donor or recipient, gathered to mark Valentine’s Day as they thanked, celebrated and expressed gratitude for a new lease of life. They celebrated their stories of courage, hope and grit. The ups and downs in their lives seemed familiar to each other. They empathized with the emotional and physical challenges that their lives had been through. Through this though, they ultimately celebrated their triumphs, their lives and their collective futures.

 

Mr. P Shivakumar, Managing Director, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, said, “We are honored to have touched so many lives through our transplant program. We are indeed fortunate to be the via media to ensure individuals and families get another shot at life, each of which is precious. Through this event, we would like to reiterate the need for more people to become organ donors in our country. While donation rates have increased, more awareness and action – civic and at the level of the individual is needed for India to become sufficient to take care of the disease burden of end stage organ failure.”

 

Dr. Anupam Sibal, Group Medical Director, Apollo Hospitals Group, said, “On this special day organ donation is the greatest donation one can make. We recognize the bond of love that has been strengthened even more between the donor and recipient. Through this event, we aim to raise awareness about the importance of organ donation and the urgent need to increase the number of organ donors in the country to meet the requirements as not everyone has a loved one who can donate a kidney or a part of the liver.”

 

Dr. Sandeep Guleria, Sr. Consultant Surgeon, Kidney Transplantation, said, “Transplant surgeries saves many lives but many times due to lack of donors, precious lives are lost. For every one million people, only 200 organ donors are available in the country. This makes organ donation rates one of the lowest in India. We celebrate the religious and charitable donations. Similarly, we also need to instill in the community the spirit of enthusiasm to come forward and pledge to donate organs. This event is a step in this direction.”

 

Dr. Neerav Goyal, Sr. Consultant Surgeon, Liver Transplantation, said, “Most transplants, especially liver transplants, occur between family members because of lack of deceased donors and sometimes also due to close genetic linkage. Through this event, on Valentine’s Day, we wish to celebrate the spirit of love for family and humanity which helps in saving countless lives through organ donation.“
