FUTURE PROSPECTS OF ICICI BANK
Vision
To be the leading provider of financial services in India and enhance our positioning among global banks through sustainable value creation.
Mission
To create value for our stakeholders by:
Being the financial services provider of first choice for our customers by delivering high quality, world-class products and services.
Playing a proactive role in the full realisation of Indias potential and contributing positively in all markets where we operate
Maintaining high standards of governance and ethics; and balancing growth, profitability and risk to deliver and sustain healthy returns on capital
ICICI CEO on Banks Future Plans Foreseeing Indian economy back on a high-growth trajectory in the coming months, ICICI Bank is looking at expanding its fund-generation profile and revenue streams to capitalise on the forthcoming opportunities. "Looking ahead, we see favourable prospects for the Indian economy. . . India has weathered the global storm with a high degree of resilience and we expect the Indian economy to return to a robust growth path ahead of other economies that are experiencing recessionary conditions," ICICI Bank managing director and chief executive officer Chanda Kochhar has said. "As we prepare ourselves for the next phase of growth, we will work on further diversifying our funding profile and revenue streams," Kochhar said in her message to the country's largest private sector bank's shareholders. Since 2007, as the global and Indian economic environment has changed rapidly, the bank has focused on a conscious strategy of capital conservation, risk containment and efficiency improvement. "We have healthy capital adequacy, sound liquidity and improved cost efficiencies," she added. The bank's chairman K V Kamath also expressed confidence that 'the Indian economy's robust fundamentals and domestic growth drivers will impart it the resilience to emerge stronger from this period'. "I believe the economic recovery, some signs of which are already visible, will gather momentum in the coming months and in due course see India returning to a high growth trajectory," he noted in his message to shareholders. Kamath, who handed over the role of MD and CEO to Kochhar last month, further said, "The last year has been an exceptionally challenging year for the global economy and financial sector. "India, while fundamentally in a much stronger position, has also experienced the impact of these events as they were transmitted through trade and capital channels." Kochhar said that against the backdrop of an imminent recovery in Indian economy, "The ICICI Group sees before it a wide opportunity spectrum: increasing household incomes and consumption in both rural and urban India; significant industrial and infrastructure investment potential; and the vast Indian spanning the globe. "We, as a multi specialist financial services group, are well positioned to capitalise on these opportunities. We will continue to participate in India's growth by meeting the financial services needs of the Indian economy." The annual report also quoted ICICI Bank's executive director Sonjoy Chatterjee as saying, "Indian economy has strong fundamentals and will provide robust growth opportunities for industry." "The Indian corporate sector has demonstrated its ability to withstand the global economic challenges and we will extend full support to the industry as it reorients strategies in this environment. We will focus on deepening our client relationships to enhance the diversity and resilience of our revenue streams," Chatterjee said. Kamath further said that ICICI Bank was able to meet the challenge posed by the developments in global economy 'due to its strong capital position and the fundamental strengths of its franchise.' "We have demonstrated our success over a long period of time. In fiscal 1985, we had a net worth of Rs 1.75 billion, assets of about Rs 21 billion and profits of Rs 0.36 billion. "Over the past few years, we have built a strong franchise in the Indian corporate and retail segments, the non-resident Indian segment, and the wider deposit market in certain countries. We believe that the strategy that we have followed and the franchise that we have built provide a strong foundation for our growth in the years to come," Kochhar said.
In a major expansion drive, ICICI Bank plans to add about 1,500 branches over a period of four years against the existing strength of about 2,500.
With the addition, the branch network to go up to 4,000 by 2015, a senior official of ICICI Bank said.
The branch expansion will help increase its presence as well as business, the official said, adding it will help mobilise cheap resources.
PROMOTING INCLUSIVE GROWTH
ICICI Foundation for Inclusive Growth (ICICI Foundation) was set up by the ICICI Group in early 2008 with a view to carry forward and build upon its legacy of promoting inclusive growth. ICICI Foundation works primarily with government authorities and specialised grass-root organisations to support developmental work in identified focus areas.

During fiscal 2013, ICICI Foundation further strengthened its efforts in identified areas Elementary Education Sustainable Livelihoods Primary Health and Financial Inclusion. All of ICICI Foundations activities are focused around building capabilities and developing innovative models that can be replicated and scaled up in the future.
Areas of Focus
1. Elementary Education
(i.) School and Teacher Education Reform Programme (STERP), Rajasthan: ICICI Foundations flagship education programme, STERP, is being implemented through a six-year partnership with the Government of Rajasthan. The programme endeavours to deliver a child-centric learning environment in Government elementary schools with the aim of instilling critical thinking and meaningful learning among students. In its second year now, STERP aims to bring about a strategic shift in the States elementary education system and bring it in line with the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005, the National Curriculum Framework for Teacher Education (NCFTE) 2009 and the Right to Education (RTE) Act 2009. The STERP programme has four key objectives, the progress of which is as below:
(a. Revision and renewal of curriculum, syllabus guidelines and development of new textbooks: During fiscal 2013, the curricula and syllabi for Classes I to VIII have been revised and new English textbooks for Classes VI, VII and VIII have been developed. Publication of 13 new textbooks has also since been approved, taking the total number of new textbooks developed to 16.
(b. Education and training of in-service teachers: At least 300,000 in-service teachers in Rajasthan need proper training to professionally develop themselves in line with NCF 2005, NCFTE 2009 and RTE 2009. The training is being conducted on a cascade model through a two-tier structure involving 250 Key Resource Persons (KRPs) and 2,500 Master Trainers (MTs). Training modules for English textbooks (Class VI to VIII) were developed and training was conducted by 70 KRPs and 500 MTs for 25,000 in-service teachers. The curriculum and syllabus for the Basic School Training Certificate (BSTC) programme have also been revised, approved and placed in the public domain for feedback.
(c. Governance and Institutional Accountability: The RTE Act 2009 specifies that every child in the age group of 6 to 14 years has a right to good quality and free education. The RTE also mandates recruitment and training of an adequate number of trained teachers to be able to meet the required ratio of one teacher for every 30 students. Apart from training teachers, STERP also supports professional development of administrative functionaries, including District Education Officers, Block Education Officers and District Project Coordinators. Through STERP, ICICI Foundation aims to cover the issues impacting the learning environment. At the district level, Teacher Support Units (TSUs) have been created within the District Institute of Education and Training (DIET). 150 demonstration schools from the districts of Baran, Churu and Jaipur in Rajasthan have been taken up as part of the endeavour for capacity building and making the schools RtE compliant. This includes establishment of School Management Committees (SMCs) comprising community-based groups of parents and stakeholders to oversee on these schools. TSUs provide full support to on-ground resource personnel delivering academic inputs and support to school teachers. Work is continuing with SMCs having been constituted in 127 schools. Further, 40 Nodal Head Masters have completed training. They will be responsible for management of a cluster of schools. (d) Impact Assessment: The programme seeks to assess the impact of its intervention continuously. An independent baseline study identified poor knowledge and learning indicators of teachers and students. Some insights from this study were taken
