Section H: People, Profit, Planet
10. How does your business meet the People, Profit and Planet criteria? Please give an example for each criteria. Refer back to Question 7 in your Business Idea Template to help you. (6)
People – How will your business further help your community?
One of the objectives of T.H.S.Mushroom has been Community involvement. This year
too, through diversification in VERMICOMPOSTING, people in the nearby areas as well
as our school shall be benefitted from this project.
(i) Since our school is a day-boarding school, lot of vegetable-wastes and kitchen
waste are generated. These pose a problem for disposal and creates
environmental pollution. Through our project, these wastes can be converted
into valuable resources, containing plant nutrients and organic matter, which
helps in improving soil productivity.
(ii) Additional domestic wastes, vegetable wastes, Cow-dung, Plant-leaves, etc shall
be purchased from people of near-by rural areas, which would generate
alternative source of income for them in addition to farm income.
(iii) Hiring landless labours from near-by rural areas in our vermicompost project,
thereby generating employment and consequently source of income.
(iv) Meetings with the farmers, creating awareness among them regarding the
importance of Vermicomposting and its effect on the environment.
(v) Training marginal and landless farmers on concept, procedures and importance of
vermicomposting, helping them to set up micro-enterprises, which would not
only generate income but also help in increasing their crop-yield, improving
soil fertility, keeping environment free from pollution.
Profit – How are you going to increase your profits?
From second year onwards, there shall be three cycles instead of two cycles. As a result
Business Development Equipment Cost and other fixed cost shall be spread over increased
turnover in three cycles, leading to internal economies of scale, which shall have impact
on increased profit.
With the passage of time, there shall be External Economies as well.
Increasing sales through expanding customer base and exploring new markets.
Identifying new usages and new market segments.
Planet – How will your business benefit the planet and be more environmentally friendly?
Chemical fertilizers, though played a significant role in Indian agriculture facilitating
green revolution and making the country self reliant in crop production, continuous use of
10 New Business Development Plan Template 2014
such easily soluble chemical fertilizers in high doses, however, contribute to soil
degradation, through a combined effect of acidification, micro nutrient depletion, ground
and surface water pollution, and reduced soil microbial activity etc. The excessive use of ‘
nitrogenous fertilizer’ (urea) has also led to increase in the level of ‘inorganic nitrogen’
content in groundwater (through leaching effects) and in the human food with grave
consequences for the human health. Chemically grown foods have adversely affected human
health.
In the direction of restoring a clean environment and protecting environment from the
adverse effect of developmental approach, the Agenda 21 of the United Nations Conference
on Environment and Development (UNCED) held at Rio de Jeniro during 1992 emphasised
ecological security and social equity for the sustainable future.
In the context of the above, our enterprise, T.H.S.Mushroom, with an endeavor to
fulfill Corporate Social Responsibility, has planned to produce VERMICOMPOST,
to ensure Sustainable Farming Practices and Environmental Protection.
(i) Vermicompost are produced from waste materials from society, which are
converted into a ‘valuable resource’.
(ii) It is of Biological nature, i.e., a Renewable Resource and shall be readily
available to mankind in future; whereas Chemical Fertilizers are made
from Petroleum Products, which are non-renewable and depleting resource.
(iii) In the process of production and usage of VERMICOMPOST, the
Environment is benefitted at all stages from Production Salvaging
waste & diverting them from landfills and reducing green house gases
to application in Farms Adding beneficial microbes to soil and
improving Biochemical properties.
(iv) In the process of Vermicomposting, there is recycling of available Bio-Waste
of different sources and can thereby reduce Environmental Pollution.
(v) Vermicompost is an Eco-friendly natural fertilizer prepared from
Bio-degradable organic waste and is free from chemical inputs.
(vi) It does not have any adverse effect on Soil, Plant and Environment.
(vii) It improves nutrient status of soil, both micro & macro nutrients.
(viii) Earthworms, one of the inputs in Vermicomposting, harness the beneficial
soil micro flora, destroy soil pathogen and convert organic waste into
Vitamins, Enzymes and Protein rich products.
(ix) It helps in improving water retention capacity of soil, because of its high
organic content.
11 New Business Development Plan Template 2014
Section I: Financing Strategy
11.How much money do you have to re-invest in your business? Do you need to raise additional capital
to develop your business? If so, how will you raise this money? (10) Refer back to Question 8 in your Business Idea Template to help you.
The entire budget cost of INR 64,480.00(1068.00USD) shall be funded by the prize fund,
which we had won in both the years; 2011 & 2012.
(A) Out of INR 64,480.00(1068.00USD), INR 26,600.00(441.00USD) is Capital-
Expenditure, which shall result in the creation of fixed assets.
Thus, USD 441.00 being capital expenditure, spread over number of years to come,
and increase in turnover, thereby resulting in Economies of scale.
(B) Remaining amount of direct cost and indirect cost shall be partially covered through
sale of earth-worms, by-product of vermicomposting and in the later years through
retained earnings, with gradual increase in profit earning capacity.
(C) With a focus on sustainability, in future years, direct costs would be partially
covered through BACKWARD INTEGRATION.
(D) We would avoid talking loan, because Loan as a source of capital shall bear a fixed
burden of repayment.
Section J: Financial Management
12.What is your method of record-keeping and how are you going to improve your financial management
processes? (5) E.g. We use a spreadsheet. We will aim to update our accounts on a weekly basis.
(i) Maintaining respective books of accounts.
(ii) Proper filing system
(iii) Data-base management system
(iv) Management Information System
(v) Internal Audit
(vi) External Audit
(vii)Proper system of coordination, monitoring and control.
(viii) Computerised Accounting using Tally software.
12 New Business Development Plan Template 2014
Section K: Sustainability and Business Development
13.How will you keep your business running after this school year? E.g. We will mentor new students and pass the business onto them. (5)
Our enterprise, T.H.S.Mushroom is in the business for the fourth year, since 2011.
(i) Inculcating professional approach in our organization, through Team-Work,
Motivation, Research work and Knowledge Enhancement.
(ii) Developing appropriate community involvement and public relation.
(iii) Protecting interest of stakeholders, with social sustainability.
(iv) Executing Innovation with respect to Management, Marketing,
Financing and Technology.
(v) Training new successive batch of new students by previous batch of senior students.
SUSTAINABILITY :
Environmental degradation is a major threat confronting the society. Rampant use of
chemical fertilizers contributes largely to the deterioration of environment through
depletion of fossil fuels, generation of carbon-dioxide and contamination of water
resources. Further imbalanced use of fertilizers leads to loss of soil fertility and
crop productivity.
Nutrients contained in domestic wastes, vegetable wastes and agricultural by-products
are wasted. In rural areas tons and tons of organic wastes is generated which is either
burnt or land-filled, posing a problem for safe disposal.
We at T.H.S.Mushroom, through VERMICOMPOSTING, shall help in converting these
wastes into valuable resources containing nutrients and organic matter, which can be
used as organic manure by farmers, thereby helping in improving soil fertility,
crop productivity, keeping environment clean WITHOUT EXHAUSTING and
EXPLOITING RESOURCES and in addition to it encouraging farmers, landless labours,
marginal farmers, to adopt sustainable farming practices, thereby making our enterprise
SOCIALLY SUSTAINABLE.
14.Where do you see the business in 5 years? E.g. We will grow our product range to include
other vegetables and we will expand our market by selling our products in 3 new districts.(5)
Five years hence, we would like to visualize our enterprise, taking the shape of
Joint stock Company as a Private Limited Company, registered with a share capital,
adding to Product lines, increasing the net-worth of the business, fulfilling
Corporate Social Responsibilities, with T.H.S.Mushroom GOING GREEN.
We would also identify new needs of customers and venture into other diversifications.
