Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen,

On behalf of the Board of Directors and my colleagues at AIC, I have great pleasure in welcoming you all at the4th Annual General Meeting of your Company. I thank you for making it convenient to attend this importantmeeting and registering your solidarity with us.

The notice convening the Annual General Meeting, the Directors’ Report, the Annual Audited Accounts and thereview of accounts by the Comptroller & Auditor General of India have been with you for some time now, andwith your permission I take them as read.

Before I embark on the business aspect of this meeting, let me introduce Mr. P. C. James, the first GeneralManager that your Company has received since its commencement of operation from 1st April 2003.Mr. James is a very well known personality in the general insurance industry for his academic brilliance, andall round knowledge of the insurance market. He has 30 long years’ insurance experience behind him, and themost important part of his career is the tenure with the Regulator, which, I am sure will be of tremendous helpto your Company in the years to come.

Also, I am happy to announce that Annual Accounts for the year 2006-07 of AIC were approved & adopted bythe Board on 30th June 2007, which was accomplished well within the stipulated time limit and, in fact,2 months earlier as compared to the previous year. Also, the quality of accounts in terms of better informationand disclosures has shown significant improvement this time which has received commendation from the Board.

As far as the financial performance is concerned, your Company has booked a net earned premium ofRs. 558.76 crore during 2006-07 as compared to Rs. 550.92 crore during the previous year, by covering170 lakh of farmers, up from 167 lakh last year. This is approximately 15% of the total farm holdings in thecountry. During 2006-07, claims of Rs. 550.75 crore have been incurred as compared to Rs. 518.73 croreduring 2005-06. After transferring Rs. 48.98 crore, as net profit after tax, to General Reserve, the net-worth ofthe Company stands increased to Rs. 385.40 crore as on 31st March 2007, from Rs. 335.52 crore previousyear and ‘Reserve for Unexpired Risk’ stands at Rs. 281.80 crore on the Balance Sheet date.

The subject of my speech today is not confined to financial performance only but beyond it. A Company’scontribution can be more comprehensively measured along three dimensions, commonly referred to as the“triple bottom line”. These dimensions are economic, industrial and social. Envisioning a larger societal goalhas always been an integral part of your Company’s philosophy which I would call ‘a commitment beyond themarket’. In fact this philosophy is very much enshrined in the objective with which the Company has beenestablished. In a bid to enhance your Company’s contribution to the national level policy making process, as

From the Chairman’s Desk

you are aware that, your Chairman was entrusted with the responsibility of being Member-Secretary of aWorking Group called “Risk Management in Agriculture” under the aegis of the Planning Commission constitutedfor addressing the issues of managing risks associated with Indian Agriculture. Your Company had organizeda series of meeting involving the prominent experts in the field of agriculture and the Working Group’s finalreport which inter alia has recognized insurance as a significant tool of risk management in agriculture, hassince been placed to the Planning Commission for its consideration.

Although, the sectoral contribution of agriculture in Indian economy has been steadily declining, currentlystanding at 18.5% of GDP, yet it continues to support two-thirds of the work force of the country. With recentdevelopments and renewed thrusts from the Government of India, it is slated to play a more significant role inthe socio-economic fabric of the country.

Agricultural productivity and prospects are inextricably linked to the performance of monsoon rains. Rainfedagriculture continues to constitute nearly 60% of the net sown area. These areas are the major domain ofpulses, oilseeds and coarse cereals. Heavy rains during August-September 2006 in Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat,Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan has led to inundation/flooding in several parts of these Statesaffecting a sizeable area of crops in one hand, late monsoon rains during September in other States havebrightened production prospects of Kharif crops on the other. These late rains would expectedly trigger earlysowing of Rabi crops, especially wheat in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan.

Against this backdrop, AIC remains committed to developing affordable products for the cross section of thefarming community to meet their diversified need, covering risks which were not conceptualized hitherto. Allthese new products are supplementing the coverage already available for 65 different crops under NAIS. Toname some of these products – I may mention your Company’s Rainfall Insurance Scheme - “Varsha Bima-2006”, which was implemented during Kharif 2006, in 150 districts/rain gauge station areas covering 16 States.AIC has also piloted other weather index based insurance product for Rabi season for the farmers serviced by‘e-chaupals’ of ITC in the States of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan & Uttar Pradesh. The productcovered potato, wheat, barley, lentil, gram etc. Apart from this, Coffe rainfall insurance was introduced in23 coffee zones of Karnataka, Mango insurance in 2 districts in Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. Recentlyintroduced new products include Bio-Fuel Tree / Plant Insurance, Potato Insurance, and further modifiedsome of the earlier products viz. Poppy insurance and Wheat Crop Vigor & Weather Insurance.

Your Company’s excellent contribution to the development of weather insurance in India has been acclaimedby Government of India also. I have the pleasure of informing you that the Honorable Union Finance Ministerwhile presenting the Budget for 2007-08 on 28th February 2007 made an announcement on Weather Insurance:

“Agriculture Insurance Corporation (AIC) has been running a pilot weather insurance scheme since Kharif2004 and it appears to be a more promising risk mitigation scheme. Hence, Government will ask AIC to starta weather based crop insurance scheme on a pilot basis in two or three States, in consultation with the StateGovernments concerned, as an alternative to the NAIS. The Scheme will be operated on an actuarial basiswith an element of subsidy. I intend to allocate Rs. 100 crore for this purpose in 2007-08”.

On behalf of your Company I take great pride on receiving this assignment from Government of India and Iassure you that your company will leave no stone unturned to make this project a grand success and willcertainly live upto the task entrusted upon it by the Hon’ble Finance Minister.

During the year, your Company has undertaken various intensive awareness and publicity activities, bothdirect and indirect. Publicity has been done through various media like newspaper, radio, TV, fairs and exhibitionsetc. A formal Publicity Policy of the Company was devised and adopted by the Board. Special efforts weremade to give wide publicity to the newly launched schemes.

The competence, commitment and experience of AIC’s employees are the key drivers of your Company’sperformance in the crop insurance market. Keeping in view the new and emerging business prospects, yourCompany’s Personnel Department has undertaken a comprehensive exercise of aligning the roles of individualemployees with the overall goals of the organisation. Attracting qualified employees and matching theircompetency to the functional area job profile to which they are best suited is significant for the success of the

organization and this particular issue is drawing attention and accordingly we are in the process of drawing upfuture human resource plans. Under the process 14 Agriculture specialists at AO level (Scale – I), 10 GeneralistOfficers at AO level (Scale – 1), and 5 Managers (Scale – IV) were recruited and were provided training indifferent fields and disciplines.

The challenges that lie ahead are enormous. AIC, has a major responsibility for ensuring that the agriculturesector fully supports the growth of the economy. Along with this challenge come a number of potentialopportunities, which can take the company onto a different growth path. As a part of the process of constantlychallenging ourselves, we have set ambitious targets for the coming years. By the year 2010, we would like tobring 40% of the farming community under the crop insurance umbrella. This will require a sharp increase,both in terms of expansion of infrastructure and premium turnover. AIC believes that while there are severalconstraints, yet, the goals set are achievable. Besides, the robust recruitment programme will take care of themanpower requirements for these initiatives. AIC is in the process of developing a holistic IT Plan also tosupplement the data generation needs. Integrated web-based software supporting various contemporarytechnologies like Business Intelligence, Statistical Analysis Technology etc. shall be developed and deployed,backed-up with state-of-the-art IT hardware, inter-connectivity between AIC offices, Stake holders’ access(e.g. Governments, Bank and other Agencies and farmers) and a Data Center.

Our website is being revamped with many contemporary and enhanced features. The website is proposed tobe dynamic, multi-lingual and with complete information on all our existing and upcoming products. It will beupdated with regular flow of information, particularly data pertaining to various Weather Based Crop InsuranceProducts.

At AIC, we understand the unique needs of the agriculture sector. Our team of agriculture insurance professionalsare seized of this situation and are committed to live up to the aspirations of the Government and as well asthat of farming community. Your Chairman firmly believes that with the able guidance of your Directors and thevaluable support from employees, your Company will certainly be able to rise to the occasion and deliver the goods.

On the marketing side, your Company is exploring all the possibilities of tying-up with as many Brokers andCorporate Agents as possible. To reach out to the door-steps of the farmers, Krishi Bima Sansthan (KBS) isalready in operation in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra and in near future the model will be replicated in otherimportant States.

In conclusion, I wish to thank the Central and State Governments, Financial Institutions, Banks, GovernmentAgencies and Non-Government Institutions who have extended their support in the development and growthof your Company.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all the shareholders for their unstinted support in helping yourCompany to enhance its technological and business strengths and remain on the path of growth.

I would like to conclude by commending the employees’ commitment and contribution which has been thecornerstone of the Company’s growth over the years.

Thank you for your attention!

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

Agriculture ScenarioWhile macro-economic fundamentals remained robust and characterized the overall development during2006-07, growth in agriculture has witnessed up-and-down pattern over the last two years. Having shown anannual average growth of 3% during the first five years of the millennium, the growth in agriculture during2006-07 dipped to 2.7%, on a base of 6% during the previous year. This is viewed as a cause of concern bythe Government. The major factors identified for low growth are low public investment, imbalance in fertilizeruse, low seed replacement rate, distorted incentive system and the little post harvest value addition, etc.Ironically, even though agriculture’s share in Gross Domestic Product has steadily declined to 18.5% during2006-07, till today, more than half of the population directly depends on this sector and that is the reason whyagriculture is so crucial in the socio-economic fabric of the country.

It is well known that a vast majority of the farmers cultivate their crops in rain-fed conditions during monsoonseason which impacts every stage of agricultural operations from land preparation to selection of seed variety,timing of sowing, transplantation, schedule of irrigation, fertilizer application, usage of pesticide, harvesting,etc. It is in this context that the agricultural risk management products, viz. insurance, particularly for the smalland marginal farmers, are of critical importance. Study reveals that ‘variability in rainfall’ accounts for morethan 50% variability in crop yields. It is also found that the negative impact of excess rainfall is not as high as

the adverse impact of deficit rainfall. In this backdrop, the 2006 monsoon rainfall was at 99% of the long periodaverage but distribution over time and space was uneven which affected east India, north-west India andsouth peninsula. Of 36 met-subdivisions, monsoon was normal in 20, excess in 6 and deficient in remaining10 subdivisions, resulting into 130 met-districts experiencing moderate drought and 30 districts facing severedrought conditions. Therefore, a considerable amount of claim pertaining to Kharif 2006 season is expectedfrom these affected regions.

Spread of operationsThe Company enjoys the distinction of being the largest crop insurance provider in the world in terms of thenumber of farmers insured annually. During 2006 – 07, the Scheme insured around 170 lakh farmers constituting15% of the total farm holdings in the country. The main product i.e. “National Agricultural Insurance Scheme”(NAIS) is presently implemented in 23 States and 2 Union Territories. The total sum insured under the Schemeamounted to approximately Rs. 20200 crore, with premium income of Rs. 562.32 crore. The Company ismaking efforts to bring the remaining States/ UTs into the fold of NAIS. In addition to NAIS, as pursued in theprevious years, this year also new tailor-made products were developed to bring more specialized farminginto the insurance net. The Company recorded operating profit of Rs. 62.32 crore during 2006-07 as againstRs. 65.68 crore during 2005-06. Gross Direct Premium this year is Rs. 564.67 crore which includes 2.35 crorefrom non-NAIS products.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

The Company has undertaken studies to design various farmer-friendly, tailor-made, affordable products, inaccordance with the sound actuarial principles to cater to the specific needs of different farmer groups. Someof the new products launched during the year are:-

Rainfall InsuranceRainfall Insurance product, more popularly known as Varsha Bima, was developed to combat the impact ofadverse rainfall incidence. The product was aimed at mitigating some of the adverse financial effects ofrainfall variation on crop yield. A correlation between the deviation in crop output and the deviation in theadverse rainfall is established and payout structures are created and the insured farmers are accordinglycompensated. The main advantage of the product is quick settlement of claims on the basis of rainfall dataobtained from the designated Rain Gauge Stations.

Rabi Weather Insurance for Field CropsThe Company designed a tailor-made weather index based insurance product for Rabi season for the farmersserviced by ‘e-chaupals’ of ITC in the States of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan & Uttar Pradesh.The product covered potato, wheat, barley, lentil, gram etc.

Bio-Fuel Tree / Plant InsuranceThe Company designed a named peril product to insure six different species commercially grown for bio-fuelproduction. The annual policy is being sold to corporates / institutions involved in commercial production ofbio-fuel.

Potato Crop InsuranceThere has been a demand from potato growers for an ‘individual farm’ based potato insurance against naturalcalamities, pests & diseases. Considering this, AIC has designed “Potato Crop Insurance (Input) Policy”. Theproduct has been designed after a careful study of package of practices, lending arrangements and buy-backarrangements by the agencies. Initially, during Kharif 2006 season, the product was tried out in and aroundPune.

MODIFIED PRODUCTS

Poppy insurancePoppy insurance introduced during Rabi 2005-06 season has been modified on the basis of experience andreview; and got it approved as ‘Micro Insurance Product’ for Rabi 2006-07 season. This policy was madeavailable to the licensed poppy growers in the States of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan & Uttar Pradesh.

Wheat Crop Vigor & Weather InsuranceWheat Crop Vigor & Temperature based insurance product piloted in a few districts of Haryana & Punjabduring Rabi 2005-06 season has been modified on the basis of the review. We have also added a new triggerin terms of ‘unseasonal rainfall’. The product is being marketed as ‘Wheat Crop Vigor & Weather Insurance’product from Rabi 2006-07 season.

INVESTMENTS

The surplus funds, as and when available, were invested by the Company as per the IRDA guidelines and theCompany’s Investment Policy under the supervision of the Investment Committee of the Board. As regardsthe Government Securities, since the investment in such securities is on long term basis (held to maturity), themarket fluctuations do not have any impact on YTM. The Company has made limited investment in equityshares through IPOs. Such investments, which are mainly in Power, Banking and InfoTech sectors, haveshown capital appreciation during the year. The total income from Investments increased to Rs. 95.17 croreduring 2006-07 from Rs. 68.81 crore during 2005-06.

Expenses of ManagementDuring the year under review, the Company has incurred “expenses of management” to the tune ofRs. 10.23 crore (previous year Rs. 12.17 crore), which is 1.81% (previous year 2.19%) of the Gross DirectPremium of the Company. The expenses incurred were not only kept under the approved budget for the year,but were even less than the actual expenses incurred during 2005-06 in absolute terms.

General ReserveDuring the year under review, the Company earned a post-tax Profit of Rs. 48.98 crore (previous yearRs. 51.81 crore), after making the required Provisions, and the same has been transferred to the GeneralReserve where after the General Reserve stood at Rs. 185.40 crore as on 31st March 2007.

DividendWith a view to conserve the resources of the Company and to improve upon the Company’s financial strength,the Board while approving & adopting the accounts at its meeting held on 30th June, 2007 decided to ploughback the entire amount of net profit (after tax) of Rs 48.98 crore by appropriating the same to General Reserveas stated above and did not recommend payment of any dividend for 2006-07.

ReinsuranceThe Company secured reinsurance on ‘Quota Share’ basis for all its new insurance products introduced duringthe year with the support of national reinsurer and other PSU general insurance companies. Apart from this,the Company has also explored the international reinsurance market.

Solvency MarginThough the IRDA (Solvency Margin) Regulations may not be directly applicable to the Company as more than99% of its business comes from the Government sponsored Scheme i.e. NAIS, but the Company, at its presentlevel of operations, enjoys a comfort level by maintaining the Available Solvency Margin at 2.05 as at31st March 2007 as against the Required Solvency Margin of 1.5.

Awareness & Publicity ProgramTo reach out to the poorest and the remotest farmer has always been a challenge to the Company. To this end,the Company has undertaken various intensive awareness and publicity activities, both direct and indirect. Anumber of awareness workshops were organized at the State and District levels where farmers, bank officials,district level government functionaries and others were briefed about the services on offer. A special effort wasmade to give wide publicity to the newly launched schemes. Publicity has been done through various medialike newspaper, radio, TV, fairs and exhibitions etc. A formal Publicity Policy of the Company was devised andadopted by the Board during 2006-07.

PERSONNEL AND INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS

Human Resource DevelopmentThe Company is servicing the vast portfolio of crop insurance with a very lean and thin personnel structure of156 employees. The Company feels that its performance potential is directly proportional to its human resourcepotential. Since the Company is sincerely looking for growth, the need for skilled, trained, and experiencedpersonnel is acutely felt. To this end, the Company is in the process of drawing up its future human resourceplans. During the year, the Company recruited 14 Agriculture specialists at AO level (Scale – I), 10 GeneralistOfficers at AO level (Scale – 1), and 5 Managers (Scale – IV).
