EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A Study on the factors increasing the footfalls in branches of SBI in urban areas
even many facilities are provided to the customers. An Analysis on high
footfalls in branches of SBI was made by Subham Subhasish Jena from Institute
of Management and Information Science.
An analysis was made by observation method and questionnaire method as well.
The observation was done by visiting a sum of 17 SBI Branches in the Urban
area of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack. For the questionnaire method responses were
taken from the peoples from both outside and inside of the branches. A proper
question format was prepared and distributed among the respondents and some
responses were taken through google forms. Total 163 Responses were
collected from the SBI Account holders only.
The analysis state that the footfalls of the branches are growing up due to
several reasons like those people who don’t know how to operate the online
banking and a smart phone as well, people having some bad experience with
online banking (fraud cases), peoples with low trust factors etc.
However, the solutions for de-crowding were concerns SBI has a various kind
of online and offline awareness policy and the awareness programs were going
in the right direction but we have to add little bit of more effort and we should
try to bring the old peoples to new era of online solutions of banking.

The cooperative banks in India play an important role even today in rural co-
operative financing. The enactment of Co-operative Credit Societies Act, 1904,
however, gave the real impetus to the movement. The Cooperative Credit
Societies Act, 1904 was amended in 1912, with a view to broad basing it to
enable organisation of non-credit societies.

Weaknesses:
Opportunities :
Opportunities are potential areas of focus for a company to improve results, increase
sales, and, ultimately, profit.
Youth Hiring: Pool in talent to replace top management to serve the next
generation and bring about innovation. This will also enable driving the latest
innovation into the company.
Improvement: SBI can make better use of the CRM, new technology, and the
online space to increase its banking business.
Rural Areas: Expansion into the rural areas will also boost its business to a
new level.
Cashless: With a focus on India going cashless, the bank that supports
cashless features by evolving its methods and technology can dominate the
market with its extensive reach.
Foreign Market: Expanding its business in the foreign market also holds a
huge scope of growth for SBI.
Threats :
Net profit of the year decreased from 9166.05 Cr.in the year 2010
to Rs 6,504 Cr.in the year 2021.
Private Banks: Consolidation among private banks can reduce market share
for SBI by a huge margin.
Changing Policies: Banking policies are governed by Reserve SBI (RBI)
laws and regulations, therefore any changes made by the RBI have a direct
impact on the bank’s operations.
Foreign Banks: Foreign banks that have sophisticated products can fully
affect the old strategy of SBI.
Government: SBI operations are often disrupted by slow government
decisions and red-tapism.
Competitors CRM:- Competitors with good CRM systems are a threat to the
SBI

Findings, Suggestion,
Conclusion
FINDINGS
The following findings are based on observation during the study.
From the observation survey we can draw the conclusion that mainly senior citizen
like illiterate customer, business people for cash credit and loan purpose are main
cause of increasing footfalls in the branches.
In some areas the peoples are found of going banks for daily saving habits basically
some small business venders &some daily labour who have less knowledge about the
internet banking.
Some observations from the questionnaire survey are written below :
It is found that mostly people of age group 18-35 age group are using the online
banking methods followed by age group of 25-40.
Peoples are going to bank mostly once in a month or twice in a month.
Now a time peoples are spending less time in the banks i:e 15-25 mints. Followed by
30-40 mints.
It is seems to be problems are solved during that visiting times of the peoples.
In the current scenario peoples are visit banks foe various reason ,mostly they are
visiting bank for cash deposit/withdrawal followed by cheque drops, fixed deposit,
loan purpose.
The awareness for the internet banking was really on the peak i:e up to 90%.
Using of the internet banking is up to 80%.
Mainly the Friend circle and the employee advice makes the people mora educated
about adaptation of digital mode of banking.
Peoples are now a time mora preferring the digital mode for banking than banking in
person .
peoples are agree and strongly agree with that time consumption of digital banking is
very less than the real time banking by going bank.
peoples are agree and strongly agree with that E payment was far better than the Cash
Transaction.
many people says that going to bank was not hassle free but how ever 23.3% peoples
are being Neutral foe that context and only 16% people says that going bank was
hassle free.
SUGGESTION
AS we are found that the main cause of increasing footfalls were the
peoples of lower financial profile and old age peoples bank should give
more focus on the door to door campaign for the illiterate peoples.
Bank should develop scheme for the old age peoples specially those who
were living far from their children.
Also we have to enhance the speed of the awareness campaign which
may give mora productive result.
Bank should adopt the push sell method to push more people towards
internet banking.
CONCLUSION
Working as a Summer Intern for STATE BANK OF INDIA has been a very
fruitful and enlightening experience that helped me face the practical working
scenarios of the banking world. Also, in my training period I have got a clear
idea that SBI should put more effort towards enhancement of awareness of
online banking facilities. Based on my 7-week training as an intern, I realized
that I was successful to gather a lot of significant learning experiences which
would be helpful in my future career. State bank of India offered me ample
space and opportunities, not only to learn but also to exhibit my skills as the
company representative. My contributions were well recognized by the
organization. I successfully completed all the assigned duties and handed them
over to My mentor at the end of the internship with the best of my knowledge.
