Analysis of Patrika group’s performance in Madhya Pradesh for the last 6 years:

Patrika’s presence in MP is both timely and relevant. The six years of experience in Bhopal, delivering masses & classes, pursuing their duties relentlessly with humbleness and spirit of service, has again shown that the essential editorial principals with welfare approach & rights-based perspective. Patrika did incomparable contributions to address societal issues over the period and the steady progress was made by the Group in its business in spite of various hurdles caused in the business process.

Recent IRS (Indian Readership Survey) data for year 2013 show that Patrika has strode ahead of many other dailies in the states of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Compared to last quarter of 2012 , in year 2013 Patrika readership has more than doubled. The rise is almost 124% which is highest among all Hindi newspapers in the country. Now Patrika ranks fourth in India’s top ten Hindi dailies.

This success is important in face of falling readership of most newspapers in the country. Media analysts are surprised at this stupendous rise in popularity of Patrika and say reason for this is people wanting to read about serious and important issues which are reported with no biases. People of these two states have given birth to a new state which is a symbol of new ideologies and trust of common man. Their trust in courageous journalistic writings of Patrika which doesn’t bow down , but speaks against injustice, corruption , atrocities and persecution.

Today Rajasthan Patrika is not just among the world's top 30 newspapers ( ranked 29th by World Association of Newspapers), it is a complete media conglomerate having spread its wings to web portal (Patrika.com with 5 million Page views per month), yellow pages (Find It yellow pages, the No. 1 in Rajasthan), outdoor advertising (Planet Outdoor, with 1000 units sites across Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh), Mobile value added service (56969 with approx 3 crore mobile subscribers), FM Radio (95 FM Tadka in Rajasthan and Chattisgarh), events (No. 1 event company in Rajasthan), publications, Cable Network, and besides many other fast growing ventures. These five decades of successful leadership validates the fact that it is possible to create and sustain an enterprise which is driven by causes larger than profitability alone.

Patrika began its operations in Madhya Pradesh in 2008. Conquering stiffer challenges, Patrika has established strong presence in MP with nine editions running successfully in various cities & 2 upcoming editions. As per ABC (July-Dec 2013), Patrika stands as No. 1 in Bhopal & Indore. Patrika entered CG in 2010 & has been emerging as fastest growing newspaper with 3 editions at present & Jagdalpur edition to be launched soon.

The success of Patrika in Madhya Pradesh can be seen from the impact it had on the people by the various events it conducted in the State. Be it the huge gathering of the 1 lakh 30 thousand people in the social initiative of Amritam Jalam, or 9 lakh footfalls reported in Mega Trade Fair organized by the Patrika Group. Patrika is there to stay in Madhya Pradesh because of the credibility and authenticity of its news along with connect it has with its readers.

As per ABC (July-Dec 2013), Patrika Group Publications stand as No 1 in all states of its presence viz. Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. It has been retaining its leadership PAN India, across 8 states & 32 editions covering a major portion of the India’s heartland.

Divya Bhaskar - a Case

...DIVYA BHASKAR – A Case In 1996, the forty year old Bhopal-based newspaper group Dainik Bhaskar had a circulation of 350,000 copies per day in Madhya Pradesh. By 2004, this had grown by more than 1000 percent to 3.5 million (2.3 million in Hindi and 1.2 million in Gujarati across six states in India: Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Chandigarh and Gujarat), making it one of the top twenty-five dailies in the world. In a little over ten years, Bhaskar has achieved circulation figures that others in global newspaper business taken nearly a century to achieve. Today Bhaskar has a collective circulation of a approximately 4.4 million across its titles – Dainik Bhaskar, Divya Bhaskar, Saurashtra Samchar, Prabhat Kiran, Business Bhaskar, DB Star and DNA. Bhaskar’s rapid growth has occurred in an unlikely setting. All the large, powerful media groups in India are based in the English language. Although Hindi is the most widely used spoken language in India, the vernacular press is highly segmented with small, regional papers holdings sway. No local language newspaper has been able to cut across states the way English newspaper have. Further, the newspaper business was, and still is, a game of slow growth over generation of readers. People don’t easily change newspaper-reading habits and if they do, it takes several years of persistent wooing to get them to shift. But consider this: In Jaipur, its first city of launch outside Madhya Pradesh, Dainik Bhaskar...

Social Business of Dr. Yunus

...Learning Report To: The Students of BBA & LLB Programme From: Muhammad Fazlur Rabb Tanvir Assistant Professor, School of Business, Metropolitan University, Sylhet. 10 October 2012 Social Business (Source: Yunus Talks on Social Business with British Council team, The Daily Star, Wednesday, 10 October 2012) Introduction: Social business, as the term is commonly used, was first defined by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Prof. Muhammad Yunus and is described in his books Creating a world without poverty—Social Business and the future of capitalism and Building Social Business—The new kind of capitalism that serves humanity's most pressing needs. A number of organizations with which he is involved actively promote and incubate social businesses. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_business) In Yunus' definition, a social business is a non-loss, non-dividend company designed to address a social objective within the highly regulated marketplace of today. It is distinct from a non-profit because the business should seek to generate a modest profit but this will be used to expand the company’s reach, improve the product or service or in other ways to subsidise the social mission. In fact a wider definition of social business is possible, including any business which has a social rather than financial objective. Prototype: In Yunus’ book Creating a World without Poverty—Social Business and the Future of Capitalism, two different types of social businesses are proposed: ...

...selfless suffering and sacrifice and promising nothing more than blood, sweat and tears. The result of the struggle is known to the world. But only handful have had the privilege to know the different phases of that struggle. Perhaps it was not in 1921 but a decade earlier that the battle within had been won and lost. Perhaps even earlier! That is a poser which we leave to the readers. But one thing is certain that the Rashtrapati and the Rebel President, the Desh Gaurab and the Netaji, the creator of the First Government of the Free India and the beloved leader of the Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians and Parsees, had been moulded between 1897 and 1921. This is the period covered by "An Indian Pilgrim". It is the masterly analysis of a Humanitarian, a WWW.HINDUSTANBOOKS.COM 4 PREFACE Psychologist, a Statesman and a Soldier, looking back on the formative years of his life. It is the earnest desire of the Netaji Publishing Society to place before the public all the writings and speeches, political and autobiographical, of Netaji.

Politics

...purposes. Critique of Nonviolent Politics 2 Preface (2002) Critique of Nonviolent Politics may be the only comprehensive critique of nonviolent theory that has been written. I wrote it between 1980 and 1984, while living in Berkeley, California. Since 1977, I had been active in the movement against nuclear power and weapons which, in California, focused its protests at the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant near San Luis Obispo, and at the University of California's Lawrence Livermore Labs where nuclear weapons are designed. Nonviolence was the prevailing political theory in the movement, especially in the "direct action" wing which organized mass blockades and occupations at nuclear facilities. Nonviolence informed our tactics and strategies, our group processes, and our general ethos and outlook. As I engaged in the movement, I was drawn to nonviolent theory and became an avid...

Ambani Story

...NTRODUCTION: AN INVITATION TO BOMBAY The envelope was hand-delivered to our house in Golf Links, Tan enclave in New Delhi whose name captured the clubbable lifestyle of its leisured and propertied Indian residents, soon after we had arrived in the middle of a north Indian winter to begin a long assignment. It contained a large card, with a picture embossed in red and gold of the elephant-headed deity Ganesh, improbably carried on the back of a much smaller mouse. Dhirubhai and Kokilaben Ambani invited us to the wedding of their son Anil to Tina Munim in Bombay. In January 1991, just prior to the explosion in car ownership that in later winters kept the midday warmth trapped in a throat-tearing haze overnight, it was bitterly cold most of the time in Delhi. Our furniture had still not arrived-a day of negotiations about the duty payable lay ahead at the Delhi customs office where the container was broken open and inspected-and we camped on office chairs and fold-up beds, wrapped in blankets. The Indian story was also in a state of suspension, waiting for something to happen. The Gulf War, which we watched at a big hotel on this new thing called satellite television, was under- cutting many of the assumptions on which the Congress Party’s family dynasty, the Nehrus and Gandhis, had built up the Indian state. The Americans were unleashing a new generation of weap- ons on a Third World regime to which New Delhi had been close; its Soviet friends were standing by, even agreeing with...

Annual Report Analysis

...CONTE N T S CHAI R M A N ’ S LETTE R DEAR SH AREH OL DERS FY2012 has been a good year for your Company. The key financial results were: ¥ Consolidated revenues increased by 30% to Rs. 96.7 billion in FY2012. ¥ Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)1 rose by 55% to Rs. 25.4 billion. ¥ Profit after Tax (PAT)2 grew by 45% to Rs. 15.3 billion. ¥ Diluted Earnings per Share (EPS) increased from Rs. 64.9 in FY2011 to Rs. 83.8 in FY2012. I am particularly delighted by four developments. First, your Company succeeded in yet another blockbuster generic launch in the USA under 180days marketing exclusivity. Dr. Reddy’s launched olanzapine 20 mg tablets, the generic version of the brand Zyprexa®. Olanzapine is used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. This product has added around USD 100 million to your Company’s revenues for FY2012. Second, the biosimilars business continues along its impressive growth path. In my letter to you last year, I had discussed the critical importance of developing biosimilars in the years to come. I am happy to note that your Company’s global biosimilars business grew by 45% over last year and recorded sales of USD 26 million.
