RATING RATIONALE
SMERA has assigned a rating of MF3 to NETWORK OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP & ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT (hereafter referred as NEED). The rating indicates that in SMERA’s current opinion, the
rated MFI’s ability with regards to credit strength is Above Average.
The rating assigned to NEED reflects following strengths:
Experienced and Qualified Management
NEED has experienced & qualified board members. NEED is managed by an international Advisory
Council Comprising Social Entrepreneurs, Trainers, Behavior Scientist, Volunteers,
Professors/Researchers, Consultants etc. Mr. Anil Singh, promoter is senior research fellow from Indian
Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad who took specific action research project in remote tribal
villages of India. After working about 15 years in the formal sector, he started working for social and
economic entrepreneurship.
Standardized operational procedures
NEED has appointed department-wise personnel for operations, management information system (MIS),
Internal Audit (IA), Finance & Accounts, Risk cum Mobile Manager Team, Human Resource. The NGO-MFI
has documented operational policies covering details of loan products, field operations, credit approval and
monitoring process.
Diversity in Social and Economic Services
NEED with deeper penetration in the under-served states of Uttar Pradesh & Bihar is an organization of
280 social entrepreneurs focusing on following areas.
Market based skill training and entrepreneurship dev. (MBSED) as the lead agency of Ministry of
Textiles, DFID supported project in Bihar, World Bank sponsored JEEVIKA project. NEED has also
been recipient of National Award by a Sr. Policy Official of Ministry and Hon’ble Cabinet Ministry in
an august gathering.
Promoting Pro-Poor Livelihoods& micro-enterprises including entrepreneurship,
Micro-finance way to promoting Social & Economic Enterprises including Healthcare and Sanitation,
Safe Drinking Kits,
Nutrition,
Creating a cadre of community based Village Health Guides,
4
Community School Teachers
Micro-Planning with Village Councils with public and private service institutions.
Asset Quality NEED’s assets quality is at adequate levels with almost 99.5% on-time repayment rate during the period
under study.
However the rating is constrained by following weaknesses:
Moderate financial profile
Revenue has decreased during the period under study and stands at ` 24,729 (in thousands) for FY 2016 on
account of inability to scale up its portfolio. Further outstanding portfolio has been uneven during the period
under study and stands at Rs 118,722 (in thousands) as on 31/Mar/2016.
Operational expenses have declined to 8.7% in FY 2016 from 10.00% in FY 2014 on account of implementation
of better cost control measures.
Concentration risk
NEED is susceptible to portfolio/geographical concentration coupled with sociopolitical risk as 72.34 % of its
total outstanding portfolio as on 31/Mar/2016 is concentrated in State of Uttar Pradesh.
Adherence to compliance regulations
Considering current constitution and scale of operations, compliance observed is adequate; however, for
future expansion and broader financial inclusion, SMERA believes there is scope of improvement for the
same.
SMERA observed that the current constitution of NEED hinders the expansion of existing MFI business
growth in a smooth way and hence as informed by the management NEED have plans to demerge its
microfinance activities into a separate entity of Section-8 Company, Govt. of India and ultimately will aim for
getting NBFC-MFI accreditation from Reserve Bank of India in due course of time.
5
Moderate Systems
Considering the scale of operations, the current MIS system deployed in NEED is sufficient to access
complete micro finance solution. The demand collections are updated in the system on a daily basis and
same is reconciled at Head office. Further NEED conducts internal audit at regular interval and the
same is conducted by in house internal audit team.
Considering the projected growth, SMERA recommends NEED to strengthen its internal audit team and
refine its systems and processes to reduce the credit risk and operational risk
As informed by the management NEED is planning to develop in-house software including mobile
driven tracking for real tracking of day to day microfinance operations.
