INTRODUCTION

Banking is the backbone of a modern economy. Health of banking industry is one of

the most important pre-conditions for sustained economic progress of any country. The world

6
of banking has assumed a new dimension at the dawn of the 21st century with the advent of

tech banking, thereby lending the industry a stamp of universality. In general, banking may be

classified as retail and corporate banking. Retail banking, which is designed to meet the

requirements of individual customers and encourage their savings, includes payment of utility

bills, consumer loans, credit cards, checking account balances, ATMs, transferring funds

between accounts and the like. Corporate banking, on the other hand, caters to the needs of

corporate customers like bills discounting, opening letters of credit and managing cash.

The Indian banking scene has changed drastically with the private

sector making inroads in an area hitherto dominated by large public sector

banks. Growing disinvestment is likely to impact the banking industry as

well. There is every possibility of privatization of public sector banks,

leading to greater operational autonomy.

The development of the Indian banking sector has been

accompanied by the introduction of new norms such as Income

Recognition and Capital Adequacy, by the government. The latter implies

that banks can lend on the basis of their respective capital base. These

norms have caused banks to construct equity on their own, before going in

for debt. Disintermediation is a real threat for banks. Of late, banks are

adopting the EVA (Economic Value Added) concept wherein revenues are

viewed in the context of the risk associated with them.

7
 The New World order has ensured "Survival of the Fittest". New

services are the order of the day, in order to stay ahead in the rat race.

Banks are now foraying into net banking, securities, consumer finance,

housing finance, treasury market, merchant banking and insurance.

8
 COMPANY PROFILE

ICICI Bank is India's second-largest bank with total assets of about Rs. 1

trillion and a network of about 540 branches and offices and over 1,000

ATMs. ICICI Bank offers a wide range of banking products and financial

services to corporate and retail customers through a variety of delivery

channels and through its specialized subsidiaries and affiliates in the areas

of investment banking, life and non-Banking , venture capital, asset

management and information technology. ICICI Bank's equity shares are

listed in India on stock exchanges at Chennai, Muzaffarnagar, Kolkata and

Vadodara, the Stock Exchange, Mumbai and the National Stock Exchange

of India Limited and its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) are listed on

the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

ICICI Bank was originally promoted in 1994 by ICICI Limited, an Indian

financial institution, and was its wholly owned subsidiary. ICICI's

shareholding in ICICI Bank was reduced to 46% through a public offering of

shares in India in fiscal 1998, an equity offering in the form of ADRs listed

on the NYSE in fiscal 2000, ICICI Bank's acquisition of Bank of Madura

Limited in an all-stock amalgamation in fiscal 2001, and secondary market

sales by ICICI to institutional investors in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002. ICICI

was formed in 1955 at the initiative of the World Bank, the Government of
9
India and representatives of Indian industry. The principal objective was to

create a development financial institution for providing medium-term and

long-term project financing to Indian businesses. In the 1990s, ICICI

transformed its business from a development financial institution offering

only project finance to a diversified financial services group offering a wide

variety of products and services, both directly and through a number of

subsidiaries and affiliates like ICICI Bank. In 1999, ICICI become the first

Indian company and the first bank or financial institution from non-Japan

Asia to be listed on the NYSE.

After consideration of various corporate structuring alternatives in the

context of the emerging competitive scenario in the Indian banking

industry, and the move towards universal banking, the managements of

ICICI and ICICI Bank formed the view that the merger of ICICI with ICICI

Bank would be the optimal strategic alternative for both entities, and

would create the optimal legal structure for the ICICI group's universal

banking strategy. The merger would enhance value for ICICI shareholders

through the merged entity's access to low-cost deposits, greater

opportunities for earning fee-based income and the ability to participate in

the payments system and provide transaction-banking services. The

merger would enhance value for ICICI Bank shareholders through a large

capital base and scale of operations, seamless access to ICICI's strong

corporate relationships built up over five decades, entry into new business

segments, higher market share in various business segments, particularly

10
fee-based services, and access to the vast talent pool of ICICI and its

subsidiaries. In October 2001, the Boards of Directors of ICICI and ICICI

Bank approved the merger of ICICI and two of its wholly owned retail

finances subsidiaries, ICICI Personal Financial Services Limited and ICICI

Capital Services Limited, with ICICI Bank. The merger was approved by

shareholders of ICICI and ICICI Bank in January 2002, by the High Court of

Gujarat at Ahmedabad in March 2002, and by the High Court of Judicature

at Mumbai and the Reserve Bank of India in April 2002. Consequent to the

merger, the ICICI group's financing and banking operations, both

wholesale and retail, have been integrated in a single entity.

 BANKING STRUCTURE

The Indian banking industry, which has Reserve Bank of India as its regulatory

authority, is a mix of the public sector, private sector, and foreign banks. The private sector

banks are again split into old banks and new banks.

SCHEDULED BANKS

Scheduled commercial banks are those that come under the purview

of the Second Schedule of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Act, 1934. The

banks that are included under this schedule are those that satisfy the

criteria laid down vide section 42 (60 of the Act). Some co-operative banks

come under the category of scheduled commercial banks though not all

co-operative banks.

PUBLIC SECTOR BANKS

Public sector banks are those in which the Government of India or

the RBI is a majority shareholder. These banks include the State Bank of

India (SBI) and its subsidiaries, other nationalized banks, and Regional

Rural Banks (RRBs). Over 70% of the aggregate branches in India are

those of the public sector banks. Some of the leading banks in this

15
segment include Allahabad Bank, Canara Bank, Bank of Maharashtra,

Central Bank of India, Indian Overseas Bank, State Bank of India, State

Bank of Patiala, State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur, State Bank of

Travancore, Bank of Baroda, Bank of India, Oriental Bank of Commerce,

UCO Bank, Union Bank of India, Dena Bank and Corporation Bank.

PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS

Private banks are essentially comprised of two types: the old and the

new. The old private sector banks comprise those, which were operating

before Banking Nationalization Act was passed in 1969. On account of

their small size, and regional operations, these banks were not

nationalized. These banks face intense rivalry from the new private banks

and the foreign banks. The banks that are included in this segment

include: Bank of Madura Ltd. (now a part of ICICI Bank), Bharat Overseas

Bank Ltd., Bank of Rajasthan, Karnataka Bank Ltd., Lord Krishna Bank Ltd.,

The Catholic Syrian Bank Ltd., The Dhanalakshmi Bank Ltd., The Federal

Bank Ltd., The Jammu & Kashmir Bank Ltd., The Karur Vysya Bank Ltd.,

The Lakshmi Vilas Bank Ltd., The Nedungadi Bank Ltd. and Vysya Bank.

The new private sector banks were established when the Banking

Regulation Act was amended in 1993. Financial institutions promoted

several of these banks. After the initial licenses, the RBI has granted no

more licenses. These banks are gearing up to face the foreign banks by

focusing on service and technology. Currently, these banks are on an

16
expansion spree, spreading into semi-urban areas and satellite towns. The

leading banks that are included in this segment include Bank of Punjab

Ltd., Centurion Bank Ltd., Global Trust Bank Ltd., HDFC Bank Ltd., ICICI

Banking Corporation Ltd., IDBI Bank Ltd., IndusInd Bank Ltd. and UTI Bank

Ltd.

17
FOREIGN BANKS

The operations of foreign banks, though similar to that of other

commercial Indian banks, are mainly confined to metropolitan areas.

Foray of foreign banks depends on reciprocity, economic and political

bilateral relations. An inter-departmental committee has been set up to

endorse applications for entry and expansion. Foreign banks, in the wake

of the liberalization era, are looking to expand and diversify. Some of the

leading foreign banks that operate in India are Citibank, Standard

Chartered Grindlays Bank, Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation,

Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, Development Bank of Singapore and

Banque National De Paris.

PUBLIC SECTOR BANKING – AT A DISADVANTAGE

Functioning of Public Sector Banks (PSBs), which are yet to achieve

computerization across the board, is at a relative disadvantage when

compared to the private sector, which is offering state-of-the-art facilities

such as ATMs, doorstep banking, banking on phone, and net banking. PSBs

also suffer from huge costs of labor and low levels of automation. At this

rate, it may not be long before new channels devised by private banks

effectively surpass the number of branch networks offered by the PSBs.

This apart, the problems which have assumed enormous proportion

today as far as Public Sector banks are concerned are ballooning NPA

18
levels, declining margins, poor credit off-take, high overheads, and lack of

good quality assets. Banks are sticking to reliable borrowers for fear of bad

debts. In fact, banks largely invest in government securities, which have

zero risk. With GOI being the single largest borrower, the yields on these

securities determine the interest rates.

The government aims to decrease its shareholding in PSBs to 33%,

however, at the same time it also wants to retain the controlling stake.

This, it is feared, is not going to solve the problems which PSBs are coping

with now.

19
 PRIVATE SECTOR BLOOMS

Corporate governance and self-regulation are the ground rules for

the private sector. Government interference is not preferred. While some

private banks such as ICICI Bank, UTI Bank and IDBI Bank have financial

institutions backing them, others are opting for foreign partnerships for

technology and monetary resources.

Private banks have emerged relatively strong, with about 60%

growth reported in net profits in the year ended March 2000. With a net

profit of Rs.120 crores (+46%), HDFC was the clear leader. IDBI Bank,

however took the cake by doubling its net profit, which reached Rs.60.99

crores in March 2000.The jump in profits can mainly be attributed to non-

traditional sectors such as commission, exchange, brokerage, and profit

on sale of investments.

 RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk is an integral part of the banking business and ICICI Bank aims at the delivery of

superior shareholder value by achieving an appropriate trade-off between risk and returns.

ICICI Bank is exposed to various risks, including credit risk, market risk and operational risk.

Our risk management strategy is based on a clear understanding of various risks, disciplined

risk-assessment and measurement procedures and continuous monitoring. The policies and

procedures established for this purpose are continuously benchmarked with international best

practices. A comprehensive range of quantitative and modelling tools developed by a

dedicated risk analytics team supports the risk management function at ICICI Bank.

The Risk, Compliance & Audit Group (RCAG) is responsible for assessment,

management and mitigation of risk in ICICI Bank. This group, forming a part of the

Corporate Centre, is completely independent of all business operations and accountable to

the Risk and Audit Committees of the Board of Directors. RCAG is organised into six sub-

groups: Credit Risk Management Group, Market Risk Group, Credit Policies Group, Internet

Audit Group, Retail Risk Group and Risk Analytics Group.

26
CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk that a borrower is unable to meet its financial obligations to the lender.

ICICI Bank measures, monitors and manasgers credit risk for each borrower asnd also at the

portfolio level. ICICI Bank has a standardised credit approval process, which includes a

well-established procedure of comprehensive credit appraisal and rating. ICICI Bank has

developed internal credit rating methodologies for rating obligors as well as for rating. ICICI

Bank has developed internal credit rating methodologies for rating obligors as well as for

product / facilities. The rating factors in quantitative and qualitative issues and credit

enhancement features specific to the transaction. The rating serves as a key input in the

sanction as well as post-sanction credit processes. Credit rating, a as concept, has been well

internalised within the Bank. The rating for every borrower is reviewed as least annually and

for higher risks credits and large exposures at shorter intervals. Sector knowledge has been

institutionalized across ICICI Bank through the availability of sector-specific information on

the Intranet. Industry knowledge is constantly updated through field visits, interactions with

clients, regulatory bodies and industry experts. In respect of the retail credit business, ICICI

Bank has a system of centralized approval of all products and policies and monitoring of the

retail portfolio. We continuously refine our retail credit parameters based on portfolio

analytics.

27
MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss resulting from changes in interest rates,

foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and commodity prices.

HDFC Bank’s exposure to market risk a function of its trading and asset

and liability management activities and its role as a financial intermediary

in customer-related transactions. The objective of market risk

management is to minimize the impact of losses due to market risks on

earning and equity capital.

Market risk policies include Asset-Liability Management (ALM)

policies and policies for the trading portfolio. The Asset-Liability

Management Committee (ALCO) of Board of Directors approves ALM

policies. ALCO’s role encompasses stipulating liquidity and interest-rate

risk limits, monitoring risk levels by adherence to set limits, articulating

the organization’s interest rate view and determining business strategy in

the light of the current and expected business environment. These sets of

policies and processes are articulated in ALM policy. A separate set of

policies for the trading portfolio address issues related to investments in

various trading products and are approved by the Committee of Directors

(COD) of the Board. RCAG exercises independent control over the process

of market-risk management and recommends changes in processes and

methodologies for measuring market risk.

28
MIDDLE OFFICE GROUP

HDFC Bank has a separate Middle Office Group to monitor both

credit and treasury-related compliance. The Credit Middle Group monitors

compliance with policies and terms of sanction of credit proposals.

The Treasury Middle Office Group monitors the asset-liability

position under the supervision of the ALCO. It also monitors treasury

activities, including determining compliance with various exposure and

dealing limits, verifying the appropriateness and accuracy of various

transactions, processing these transactions, tracking the daily funds

position and all treasury related management and regulatory reporting.

Interest rate risk is measured through the use of re-pricing gap analysis. Liquidity risk

is measured through gap analysis. HDFC Bank ensures adequate liquidity at all times

through systematic funds maintenance of liquid investment as well as by focusing on more

stables funding sources such as retail deposits. HDFC Bank mitigates its exposure to

exchange rate risk by stipulating daily stop-loss limits and position limits.

OPERATIONAL RISK

Operational risk can result from a variety of factors, including failure

to obtain proper internal authorization, improperly documented

transactions, failure of operational and information security procedures,

29
computer systems and software or equipment, fraud, inadequate training

and employee errors. We attempt operational risk by maintaining a

comprehensive system of internal controls, establishing systems and

procedures to monitors transactions, maintaining key back-up procedures

and undertaking regular contingency planning. The Middle Office Group

monitors adherence to credit procedures. The International Audit Group

undertakes a comprehensive audit of all business group and other

functions, in accordance with a risk-based audit plan. This plan allocates

audit resources based on an assessment of the operational risks in the

various businesses. ICICI Bank has been a pioneer in the implementation

of a risk-based audit methodology in the Indian banking sector. The

International Audit Group conceptualizes and implements improved

system of internal controls to minimize operational risk.

constituted 39 per cent of the bank's customer assets. While leveraging

securitisation of assets was around Rs 5,300 crore. According to the bank,

A. Repatriable

Repatriable funds (i.e. those which can be taken abroad) need to be kept

in a separate bank account, i.e. NRE Bank account. Typically, funds

brought in from abroad are permitted in such an account. Investments

made from such funds can be repatriated, i.e. proceeds from sale or

otherwise from such investments can be taken abroad. Such investments

are maintained in a Repatriable Demat account.

B. Non-repatriable

53
Non-repatriable funds (i.e. those which cannot be taken abroad) need to

be kept separate from repatriable funds in a separate bank account i.e.

NRO Bank account. Investments made from such funds cannot be

repatriated, i.e. proceeds from sale or otherwise from such investments

cannot be taken abroad. Such investments are maintained in a Non-

Repatriable Demat account. Money once transferred from NRE account to

NRO account loses its repatriability and hence, cannot be transferred back

to NRE account.

54
Mode of Investment :

COMPETITORS

 MAJOR COMPETITORS

STATE BANK OF INDIA

It is India's largest bank with assets worth Rs.2, 615 billion. SBI also has

the distinction of having the world’s largest branch network of 9,000

branches. The bank has a share of about 22% of India's loans and

deposits, and is a top player in trade finance and forex. Through its

subsidiaries, SBI is also a leading provider of other financial products like

mutual funds, investment banking, housing finance and factoring. SBI has

a market share of one-fifth of the banking sector in India. Nationalized

banks and SBI and its subsidiaries form the heart of the Indian banking

system. These two entities operate 70% of the total branches spread

across the length and breadth of India.

BANK OF INDIA

As one of the leading public sector Indian banks, Bank of India has the

distinction of being the first bank to open a branch outside India. The

bank, which currently has overseas operations in about 10 countries, is

one of the leaders in financing foreign trade. It is one of the few Indian

banks that provide tele-banking facilities, Remote Access Terminals for

corporate clients, and Signature Retrieval System. Some of the recent

68
forays made by the bank in terms of its business operations include bullion

business and demat services.

It is a pioneer in terms of the introduction and adoption of a model

banking policy that suits India and other developing countries. The bank,

which is synonymous with progressive banking in India, has a strong

presence in rural India. The bank was nationalized in 1969. Syndicate Bank

has correspondent relations with 400 banks from all over the globe. The

bank is also one of the leading players in the foreign exchange market.

CHALLENGE FOR THE INDIAN BANKING SECTOR

Indian banks have a long way to go before they reach the size of their

international counterparts. Even the biggest Indian bank, State Bank of

India, is nowhere on the international scale, with assets in the range of

$50billion. Absence of significant scale benefits and higher implicit costs of

several services are perpetuating the poor ranking of Indian banks in the

international league tables.

Shareholding structure, government regulations and sheer size of the

country ensure that the existence of Indian banks is not at stake at this

stage. What is at stake is the banking support that is available for Indian

economic activity, and thereby the international competitiveness of

69
various sectors. What is also at stake is the scope for the banking industry

to earn superior returns through differentiated wider services.

Further, it is quite conceivable that with passage of time, as government

holding in banks is progressively divested, regulatory authorities will be

unable to hold back the international giants from buying out Indian banks.

Even economies with a "domestic mindset", such as France and Germany,

have been forced to bow before the international capital market forces.

It would be a shame if painstakingly built retail strength is offered on a

platter to some predator. The challenge can be met through some

concerted action -

Government

The Government needs to do away with artificial

fragmentation of the financial sector. A case in point is the

segregation of banks and financial institutions induced by policy. If

this is changed, we may well see mergers between the two sectors

to create organizations of size. Why not a merger of Industrial

Development Bank of India with Bank of Baroda, or even better with

State Bank of India? This would definitely lead to a merger between

ICICI and ICICI Bank and for that matter between HDFC and HDFC

Bank. The possibilities are interesting and numerous.

70
Domestic Banks

Domestic Banks - private as well as public - need to continuously

explore options to acquire or merge with other institutions to enhance

their size, service or skill-set. This could also mean looking beyond the

national boundaries as truly global corporations do.

New Initiatives

The recent crisis in the Far East has demonstrated the need

for a robust banking sector. Therefore the whole structure of

Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) and Urban Co-operative Banks (UCBs)

needs to be strengthened. The focus that FMCG companies such as

Hindustan Lever have given to the rural sector proves that private

sector interest is not limited to the cities and major towns.

Technological changes (such as wireless communication, net etc.)

have drastically changed the communications scenario. This may be

the time to come out with interesting initiatives with regard to

structure of RRBs and UCBs so that private sector organizations -

banks as well as non-banks - play a greater role in meeting the

needs and aspirations of hitherto neglected parts of the country.

71
Social considerations

The full benefit of mergers can only be realized if they are followed

up with some hard measures such as re-location / closure of branches,

rationalization of employee strength etc. It would be a welcome change if

the management and unions collaborate in seeking appropriate social

security from the Government - financed out of the divestment of stake in

these banks.

Indian banking has to operate with a global mindset even while fulfilling

local banking requirements. By joining in the effort to make this happen,

we will get the banking service we need. Else, we will deserve the banking

service we get.

72
(INTRODUCTION OF TOPIC)
73
 The topic of “ COMPARISION BETWEEN ICICI AND HDFC BANK: Banking is the

backbone of a modern economy. Health of banking industry is one of the most important pre-

conditions for sustained economic progress of any country. The world of banking has

assumed a new dimension at the dawn of the 21st century with the advent of tech banking,

thereby lending the industry a stamp of universality. In general, banking may be classified as

retail and corporate banking. Retail banking, which is designed to meet the requirements of

individual customers and encourage their savings, includes payment of utility bills, consumer

loans, credit cards, checking account balances, ATMs, transferring funds between accounts

and the like. Corporate banking, on the other hand, caters to the needs of corporate

customers like bills discounting, opening letters of credit and managing cash.

The Indian banking scene has changed drastically with the private

sector making inroads in an area hitherto dominated by large public sector

banks. Growing disinvestment is likely to impact the banking industry as

well. There is every possibility of privatization of public sector banks,

leading to greater operational autonomy.

The development of the Indian banking sector has been

accompanied by the introduction of new norms such as Income

Recognition and Capital Adequacy, by the government. The latter implies

that banks can lend on the basis of their respective capital base. These

norms have caused banks to construct equity on their own, before going in

for debt. Disintermediation is a real threat for banks. Of late, banks are
74
adopting the EVA (Economic Value Added) concept wherein revenues are

viewed in the context of the risk associated with them.

The New World order has ensured "Survival of the Fittest".

New services are the order of the day, in order to stay ahead

in the rat race. Banks are now foraying into net banking,

securities, consumer finance, housing finance, treasury

market, merchant banking and insurance.

75
 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research methodology is a systematic way, which consists of series of

action steps, necessary to effectively carry out research and the desired

sequencing to these steps. The marketing research is a process of involves

a no. of inter-related activities, which overlap and do rigidly follow a

particular sequence. It consists of the following steps:-

• Formulating the objective of the study

• Designing the methods of data collection

• Selecting the sample plan

• Collecting the data

• Processing and analyzing the data

• Reporting the findings

78
 RESEARCH DESIGN

Research design specifies the methods and procedures for conducting a

particular study.

A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and

analysis of the data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the

research purpose with economy in procedure. Research design is broadly

classified into three types as

• Exploratory Research Design

• Descriptive Research Design

• Causal Research Design

I have chosen the descriptive research design.

79
DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH DESIGN:

Descriptive research studies are those studies which are concerned with

described the characteristics of particular individual.

In descriptive as well as in diagnostic studies, the researcher must be able

to define clearly, what he wants to measure and must find adequate

methods for measuring it along with a clear cut definition of population he

want to study. Since the aim is to obtain complete and accurate

information in the said studies, the procedure to be used must be carefully

planned. The research design must make enough provision for protection

against bias and must maximize reliability, with due concern for the

economical completion of the research study.

SAMPLE DESIGN

A Sample Design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given

population. It refers to the technique to the procedure adopted in selecting

items for the sampling designs are as below:

80
SAMPLE SIZE

• Sample method

• Survey period

SAMPLE SIZE: The substantial portions of the target customer that are

sampled to achieve reliable result are 50.

SAMPLING METHOD:

• In this marketing research project, I am using

• Random sampling method

and Non-member) I have understate sampling technique.

82
SAMPLE SELECTION

Simple random selection sampling

SAMPLE TECHNIQUE

I have taken the Statistical tool of percentage method to analysis and

interpretation of the collected data.

RANDOM SAMPLING:

A random sample gives every unit of the population a known and non-zero

probability of being selected. Since random sampling implies equal

probability to every unit in the population, it is necessary that the

selection of the sample must be free from human judgment.

There is some confusion between the two terms ‘random sampling’ and

‘unrestricted’ random sampling. In the latter case, each unit in the

population has an equal chance of being selected in the sample. Such a

sample is drawn ‘with replacement’, which means that the unit selected at

each draw is replaced into the population before another draw is made

from it, ‘As such, a unit can be included more than once in the sample.

Most statically theory relates to ‘unrestricted random sampling. In order to

distinguish between these two sample. I.e. sample, without replacement

and sample with replacement, the terms ‘sample random sample’ and

‘unrestricted random sample’ are used. If the latter is devised in such a

83
manner that no unit can be included more than once, it will then be known

as the simple random sampling.

It may be noted that while both sample random sampling and unrestricted

random sampling give an equal probability to each unit of the population

for being included in the sample, there are other sample design too which

provide equal probability to the units. The process of randomness is the

very core of simple and unrestricted random sampling. The selection of a

sample must be free from bias, which can be ensured only when the

process of selection is free from human judgment.

COLLECTION OF DATA

DATA COLLECTION

The study was conducted by the means of personal interview with

respondents and the information given by them were directly recorded on

questionnaire.

For the purpose of analyzing the data it is necessary to collect the vital

information. There are two types of data, this are-

• Primary Data

• Secondary data

PRIMARY DATA:-

84
Primary data can be collected through questionnaire. The questionnaire

can be classified into four main types.

• Structured non disguised questionnaire

• Structured disguised questionnaire.

• Non structured non disguised questionnaire

• Non –structured disguised questionnaire.

For my market study, I have sleeted structured non-disguised

questionnaire because my questionnaire is well structured, listing of

questions are in a prearranged order and where the object of enquiry is

revealed to the respondents.

To making a well-structured questionnaire, we have adopted three type of

questions-

• Open ended question

• Dichotomous questions

• Multiple choice questions

These types of questions are easy to understand and easy to give required

answers.

85
SECONDARY DATA:-

Secondary data means data that are already available i.e. they refer the

data which have already been collected and analyzed by someone else.

When the researcher utilizes secondary data, than he has to look into

various sources from where h e can obtain them, in this case he is

certainly not confronted with the problems that are usually associated

with the collection of original data. Secondary data may either be

published data or unpublished data. Usually published data are available

in:

• Various publications of the central, state and local government;

• Various publications of foreign government or of international bodies

and their subsidiary organizational;

• Technical and trade journals;

• Books, magazines and newspapers;

• Reports and publications of various associations connected with

business san industry, stock exchanges etc.;

• Reports prepared by research scholars, universities, economists etc;

• Public records and statistics, historical document and other source of

published information.

86
The source of unpublished data are many; they may be found in diaries,

letters, unpublished biographies and autobiographies and also may be

available with scholars and research workers, trade associations, labor

because and other public private individuals and organization.

COLLECTION TECHNIQUE:

Questionnaire method is used in collection the data.

87
 DATA ANALYSIS
DATA PROCESSING AND ANALYSIS

Processing & Analysis the collected data: - once the field survey is

over and questionnaire have been received, the next task is to aggregate

the data in a meaningful manner. A number of tables are prepare to bring

out the main characteristics of the data. The researcher should have a well

thought out framework for processing and analyzing data, and this should

be done prior to the collection. it includes the following activities—

(i) Editing: the first task in data processing is the editing. Editing is the

process of examining errors and omissions in the collected data and

making necessary corrections in the same.

(ii) Coding: coding is the procedure of classifying the answer to a

question into meaningful categories. Coding is necessary to carry out the

subsequent operations of tabulating and analyzing data. If coding is not

done, it will not be possible to reduce a large number of heterogeneous

responses into meaningful categories with the result that the analysis of

data would be weak and ineffective, and without proper focus.

88
(iii)Tabulation: tabulation comprises sorting of the data into different

categories and counting the number of cases that belong to each

category. The simplest way to tabulate is to count the number of

responses to one question. This is also called universal tabulation. The

analysis based on just one variable is obviously meager. Where two or

more variables are involved in tabulation, it is called bivariate or

multivariate tabulation.

(iv) Analysis: after the all three above steps, the most important step

is analysis of the data. Under this step, they can use the various

tools of the analysis such as Central Tendency, Dispersion,

Correlation co-efficient, Regression Analysis, Test of

Hypothesis etc.
