19
2.5. Swot Analysis:

Strengths:

1. Established Brand: Krishi Jagran has built a strong brand reputation in the Indian agricultural
sector over the years. Its name is synonymous with reliable agricultural information and
support for farmers.
2. Wide Reach: With a presence in multiple regional languages and a broad network across rural
India, Krishi Jagran has an extensive reach in a country with a large agricultural population.
3. Multimedia Platforms: It leverages various media platforms, including print (magazines),
digital (websites, mobile apps, and social media), and even TV (Krishi Jagran TV). This multi-
channel approach helps reach diverse audiences.
4. Content and Knowledge: Krishi Jagran offers valuable content ranging from crop
management, new agricultural technologies, government schemes, weather forecasts, and
market prices, which empowers farmers to make informed decisions.
5. Language Accessibility: The magazine is available in multiple regional languages, making it
accessible to farmers across different states in India.

Weakness:

1. Advertising-Driven Revenue Model: Much of Krishi Jagran's revenue comes from


advertisements, especially from agricultural companies. This reliance on ad revenue
may make the platform vulnerable to shifts in advertising budgets or market trends.
2. Niche Audience: While Krishi Jagran is highly popular in the agricultural community,
its content may not attract a broader audience beyond farmers, which could limit its
potential for expansion.
3. Inconsistent Access to Technology: Many farmers, especially in rural areas, still have
limited access to smartphones, the internet, and other technological resources.
Although Krishi Jagran has made strides in digital media, not all of its target audience
can access online content easily. This creates a barrier to effective knowledge
dissemination, especially with younger, more tech-savvy farmers.

20
Opportunities:

1. Collaboration with Government and NGOs: By partnering with government agencies and
non-governmental organizations, Krishi Jagran can play a larger role in disseminating
information about government schemes, policies, and initiatives designed for farmers' welfare.
2. Growing Digital Audience: With the rise of internet usage and mobile phones in rural India,
Krishi Jagran has the opportunity to expand its digital platforms (website, mobile apps, social
media) and reach more young farmers, tech-savvy individuals, and urban agricultural
enthusiasts.
3. Expansion into Other Agricultural Segments: Krishi Jagran could expand its coverage to
include other segments of agriculture such as organic farming, urban agriculture, and agro-
tourism, which are gaining popularity.
4. Expanding to Agricultural Tourism: Krishi Jagran can explore the emerging trend of
agricultural tourism (Agri-tourism). By promoting farming experiences and rural tourism, it
could create content and services that connect urban populations with rural farms, enhancing
brand visibility and creating new revenue streams
5. Smart Farming and IoT Integration: The Internet of Things (IoT) and smart farming are
rapidly transforming the agricultural industry. Krishi Jagran can capitalize on this by creating
content related to IoT devices (like smart sensors for soil moisture, weather stations, and
automated irrigation systems) and how they can help farmers increase productivity and reduce
costs.

Threats:

1. Competition from Other Digital Platforms: Other digital agricultural platforms, apps, and
websites are emerging, offering real-time data, weather forecasts, and advice. These platforms
are attracting younger, tech-savvy farmers who may prefer faster, more interactive
information.

2. Changes in Farmer Preferences: As the farming community evolves and more farmers adopt
digital technologies, traditional print media may lose relevance, especially among younger

21
farmers who prefer information through mobile phones or online platforms.

3.3 Details of the functional areas of my training:

During this internship, majority of my tasks were related to content creation and analyzing.
I wrote variety of content like:
1. Blog posts- There are various types of blog posts in the field of agriculture ranging
from blogs on health and lifestyle, industry news, agriculture technology,
Agribusinesses, success stories, etc. They are posted daily to engage in website traffic.
I wrote blogs on majority of these topics
2. Web Stories- Web stories are 6-7 slides that provide concise information on a
particular topic. They are quick and convenient to read, understand and to grab the
attention of a user when he/she is just browsing the website. I wrote various web
stories, for example, for World Cotton Day, World Coffee Day, World Bamboo Day,
Ganesh Chaturthi as well as on unconventional topics like disadvantages of eating too
much raisins, etc.
3. Infographics- I researched and wrote the content for infographics posted on LinkedIn.

5. Wrote captions for banners held in the company- I wrote captions for the seminars,
also called chaupals, held in the company as well as for the MFOI, VVIF, Kisan Bharat

3.4 Things learned from the above work done:


2. Importance of keywords: Keywords are the words or phrases that people type into search
engines like Google when they're looking for something. In digital marketing, using the right
keywords in your content helps the content show up in search results when people search for
those terms. This means more people will find the content naturally/organically, without the
content writer having to pay for ads. The better choice and use keywords, the more likely the
content will appear at the top of search results, helping attract the right audience.

26
3. Content planning: Content planning involves creating a schedule of topics to post and when
to post it. It helps in making sure that the content aligns with the business goals and engages
target audience. It also ensures consistency, high quality content and that content is always on
time
4. Content analysis: Evaluating content to understand how it engages the user and what
improvement can be done to ensure it attracts even more users. It should support the business
goals and objectives.
5. Writing skills: Good writing skills are crucial to make good quality content that brings high
engagement and retains audience. It helps in conveying information in an effective, efficient
and persuasive way.

3.5 Focus of the Internship


1. Keyword optimization:
Keyword optimization is the process of researching, selecting, and strategically using relevant
keywords in your website content, blog posts, articles, or any form of online content to improve its
visibility and ranking on search engines like Google. The goal is to match the words or phrases that
people are most likely to search for with the content on your website or platform, making it more
discoverable by search engine users.

Importance of Keyword Optimization:


1. Increased Visibility: Using the right keywords ensures that the content becomes more likely
to appear in search engine results pages (SERPs) when people search for those terms. This
increases content visibility to a larger audience.
2. Targeted Traffic: Proper keyword optimization helps to attract users who are specifically
searching for what is offered, resulting in more relevant, high-quality traffic to your site. These
visitors are more likely to engage with the content, make purchases, or complete other desired
actions.
3. Improved Search Engine Ranking: Search engines use algorithms to evaluate how well a
piece of content answers a user's search query. Optimizing for keywords is one of the ways to
signal to search engines that the content is relevant and worthy of higher rankings.

27
4. Competitive Advantage: By conducting thorough keyword research and targeting high-
traffic, low-competition keywords, one can be position himself above competitors in search
rankings. This is especially important in highly competitive industries.
5. Better User Experience: Keyword optimization is not just about pleasing search engines; it's
about creating content that meets the needs and expectations of the target audience. By
focusing on the right keywords, users are able to find the information or solutions they are
searching for.
6. Conversion Optimization: When one ranks higher for relevant keywords, he is more likely to
attract users who are ready to take action—whether it's making a purchase, signing up for a
newsletter, or downloading a resource. Keywords help guide these users through the buying or
conversion funnel.
7. Long-Term Benefits: Even though keyword optimization require ongoing effort, the benefits
of organic search rankings can be long-lasting. Over time, well-optimized content can continue
to generate traffic and conversions without the need for ongoing ad spend.

How I conducted keyword optimization


1. Understanding target audience: In order to understand what kind of keywords should
be used in content, I first studied the target audience to understand what will attract
them the most. The target audience includes the following:
 Farmers who may be looking for farming tips, crop management, weather
updates, etc.
 Agribusinesses interested in agricultural equipment, B2B services, etc.
 Government and NGOs focused on rural development policies, government
schemes, subsidies, etc.
 Agri-tech enthusiasts looking for technology solutions in agriculture
2. Analysing previous content: I looked into the previous content to comprehend what
type of content is to be written. The types of content were:
 Blogs and web stories related to health and lifestyle.
 Articles and posts related to agriculture. For example: web story on what crops
should be sown in a particular time period.
 Articles on agribusinesses and technological advancements related to
agriculture.
 Blogs and web stories on farming tips and tricks.

28
 Blogs on weather updates.
 Articles on success stories of farmers.
 Articles on government schemes that benefit farmers
I came to the conclusion that a lot of diverse content is made at Krishi Jagran
which required extensive research on facts in order to be precise.
3. Using SEO checker tools: SEO checking tools are software platforms or online
services designed to help website owners, marketers, and SEO professionals analyze
and optimize websites to improve their search engine rankings. These tools scan
websites for various SEO-related factors, identify issues, and provide recommendations
to enhance the website’s search engine visibility, traffic, and overall performance.
They are also used in keyword optimization. I used seobility, which is an online SEO
checking tool for the following;
 Keyword Research: Seobility helped in identifying high-traffic, low-
competition keywords in my content. This helped me in understanding which
keywords my audience was searching for and how to incorporate them
effectively.
 Keyword Ranking Tracking: I used seobility to track Krishi Jagran’s
website’s keyword rankings over time, which allowed me to see if the targeted
keywords were improving or declining in search engine results pages (SERPs).
 Keyword Density Check: Some tools will check the frequency of targeted
keywords in your content, helping ensure you're not over- or under-optimizing.

4. Tracking content performance: I kept track of my content and checked the following
things:
 Organic traffic: I kept track of how many users were visiting the page
organically, i.e., without paying for my content to be advertised somewhere
through which traffic can come. This traffic is generated is free of cost. I used
Google Analytics to monitor spikes in traffic for specific keywords and the time
period with the highest and lowest traffic.
 Engagement metrics: I observed engagement metrics like page views, average
time on page and bounce rate to understand what type of content performs the
highest and what kind of performance performs the lowest.

29
5. Taking part in content planning meetings: I participated in content discussion
meetings and brainstorming sessions where I listened to and observed what kind of
content ideas others suggested as well as I also put forward my opinions and ideas.
6. Asking mentors and coworkers for advice: In order to make sure that my content
was not lacking in any aspect, I made sure to get it approved by my seniors first. They
gave me valuable feedback on what type of content to write and avoid as well as how I
could improve my writing skills.

2. Tracking content performance:


Tracking content performance refers to the process of monitoring and evaluating how well the
digital content is performing across various channels (websites, social media, emails, etc.). It
involves measuring key metrics that indicate the effectiveness of the content in achieving
business goals, such as engagement, conversions, traffic, and brand awareness.
Tracking content performance, is a way to identify what's working well and optimize the
content strategy for better results.

How I tracked content performance:


I used Google Analytics which is a free web analytics tool that helps in tracking and analyse
the website traffic. It provides in-depth insights into how users interact with the website, where
they come from, how long they stay, and which pages or content are the most engaging, etc. It
helps in making more data driven and informed decisions.

Here is a grid report for all my articles and blogs written:

30
This picture shows the following:

1. Views (Pageviews)

 A view (or pageview) in Google Analytics refers to each time a page on a website is loaded or
reloaded in the browser. This metric tracks how many times a specific piece of content, such as
a blog post, landing page, or product page, has been viewed by users.
 Usage in Tracking Content Performance: Pageviews help measure the popularity and reach
of the content. If a blog post has a high number of pageviews, it indicates that users are
engaging with the content by visiting it multiple times or after it’s been promoted.

2. Active Users

 Active Users are those who interact with your website or app during a specified time period.
In Google Analytics, you can track active users over different timeframes such as daily active
user, weekly active user, monthly active user, etc.
 Usage in Tracking Content Performance: Active users are a key indicator of engagement.
By tracking the number of active users, you can assess, how well it retains users over time. If
your content has high engagement, you should see a higher number of active users.

3. Views Per Active User

31
 Views per Active User refers to the average number of pages viewed by each active user
during their visit to a site or app.
 Formula: It's calculated by dividing the total number of pageviews by the number of active
users.
 Usage in Tracking Content Performance: This gives an idea of how engaged each active
user is with the content. If there are high views per active user, it suggests that the content is
compelling enough to keep users browsing the site for multiple pages. Conversely, a low
views-per-user ratio might indicate that users are leaving the site quickly or not finding enough
content that interests them.

4. Average Engagement Time Per Active User

 Average Engagement Time is the amount of time users spend actively engaging with the
content, either on a website or in an app. Unlike traditional metrics like "time on page," which
only count when a page is loaded, engagement time measures actual interaction, such as
scrolling, clicking, or watching a video.
 Usage in Tracking Content Performance: This metric shows how much time users are
actively engaged with the content, providing a better measure of interest and interaction
compared to simple "time on page" or "session duration." Higher engagement time indicates
users are spending meaningful time with the content, which suggests it is resonating with them.

5. Event Count

 Event Count refers to the total number of times a specific event is triggered on a website or
app. An event is an interaction or action that is tracked separately from a pageview, such as
clicking a button, watching a video, submitting a form, or downloading a file. Events are
customizable and can track almost any user interaction.
 Usage in Tracking Content Performance: By tracking events, one can measure interactions
that are not part of the pageview, such as how often a visitor clicks on a specific link or
interacts with a video embedded in the content. This is important for understanding user
actions that contribute to engagement but aren't captured by traditional metrics

6. Key Events

32
 Key Events are specific actions that one wants to track on his site because they reflect
significant user interactions. These events could include button clicks like ‘Download’, form
submissions, etc.
 Usage in Tracking Content Performance: Key events help to understand how users are
engaging with specific content features. For example: if a high percentage of users are clicking
on a "Learn More" button or video, you know that these elements are engaging.

3.6 Overview of internship experience (Also mention Achievements & Challenges)

My internship experience at Krishi Jagran has been an incredible and enriching journey that
has not only expanded my knowledge of digital marketing and content creation but also
deepened my understanding of the agricultural sector and its importance to rural communities
in India.

India being a country with most of its farmers being from the rural areas, it is crucial that they
have the proper farming knowledge to ensure that they are able to harvest foodgrains,
vegetables, fruits, etc. Agriculture isn’t merely confined to producing food, but rather is a
source of livelihood for lakhs of people in agricultural fields like horticulture (cultivation of
fruits, vegetables, flowers, and other plants for decoration or other uses), sericulture (farming
of silkworms to produce silk), pisciculture (breeding and raising of fish) and the many other
fields related to agriculture. My internship made me realize how diverse this sector is and how
much it has developed over time. It made me gain newfound respect for all the farmers in India
for working so hard for our sake.

33
From the very beginning, I was welcomed into a supportive and dynamic team. The internship
was a perfect blend of learning and real-world application, where I had the opportunity to work
on projects that directly contributed to Krishi Jagran’s mission of educating and empowering
farmers.

Right from the start, I was included into team meetings, brainstorming sessions and I also
attended work related seminars. My mentors and coworkers were quite friendly and
approachable and cleared all doubts related to work. There were various team bonding
moments and events which helped me to understand the corporate work and social life blend.

With my main work being content writing and analysing, I came to understand how different
content appeals to different audiences and certain keywords that attract website traffic. I
learned how diverse the agriculture sector in India is- various things like agricultural news,
agricultural technology, agribusinesses and the upcoming fields like organic and sustainable
farming.

I also learned about technical terms like keyword optimization, click-through rates, cost per
click, impression, etc which help in improving website performance and growth. I also gained
various other skills and got a corporate life experience.

Overall, it was a very knowledgeable and fun internship which gave me work culture
experience, connections and confidence.

3.7 Key Highlights of the Internship:

1. Hands-On Learning: Throughout the internship, I had the chance to work on a wide
range of digital marketing initiatives, including content creation for social media, SEO
optimization, and blog writing. This hands-on experience gave me a solid
understanding of how digital marketing strategies are implemented in a real-world
setting.
2. Exposure to Agricultural Media: The most unique aspect of this internship was the
focus on agricultural media. Krishi Jagran is one of the largest platforms in India
dedicated to providing news and information for farmers. I gained an in-depth

34
understanding of how digital media can play a crucial role in bridging the knowledge
gap for rural populations.
3. Mentorship and Guidance: The guidance I received from my mentors and team
members was invaluable. They were always approachable, ready to provide feedback,
and willing to share their knowledge. Their support helped me grow both personally
and professionally.
4. Collaborative Work Environment: The Krishi Jagran team fostered a collaborative
work culture, where everyone’s input was valued. Working closely with the editorial,
marketing, and design teams allowed me to see how various departments collaborate to
create cohesive, effective marketing campaigns. I also had the chance to engage with
other interns and team members, which created an inclusive environment where
learning from one another was encouraged
5. Personal Growth: The internship challenged me to think creatively, stay organized,
and meet deadlines while managing multiple projects. I learned to balance creativity
with analytical thinking, which is essential in any successful marketing role.
6. I also developed a stronger understanding of the agricultural landscape, particularly
the importance of reaching farmers with the right information at the right time. This
broadened my perspective on how digital marketing can be used to drive social impact,
beyond just business goals.

3.8 Skills learned during the internship

This internship helped me gain the following skills:


 Practical Experience: Real-world experience in digital marketing and content creation. I
worked on creating content for social media, blog posts, and LinkedIn posts. This gave me
valuable insight into what kinds of content engage different types of audiences.
 Exposure to Marketing Tools: I was trained to use Google Analytics to monitor and analyze
website traffic and schedule posts. This helped me understand how data is collected and how it
can be used to optimize campaigns. I learned to analyze website traffic patterns, understand
user behavior, and adjust strategies accordingly.
 Networking Opportunities: This internship provided me with opportunities to connect with
professionals and build my network. I attended meetings and seminars where I observed how
35
they are conducted by professionals as well as got a chance to add my insights to the
discussions. It created opportunities for knowledge exchange, professional development, and
thus is an essential tool for success.
 Attention to Detail: I learned how accuracy in writing and editing played a very crucial role
for the campaign/blog post to attract website traffic. Certain keywords can help the
campaign/post be successful or not. For example, blog posts or web story on cotton would
attract high website traffic on World Cotton Day than on any other normal day.
 Communication Skills: I developed strong written skills for content creation as well as verbal
communication to socialise and collaborate with other teams like the PR team. This enhanced
my ability to convey ideas clearly, share feedback, and work efficiently in a team setting.
 Time Management: By handling multiple tasks in a day, I have learned how to prioritize tasks
based on deadlines and urgency and allocate time effectively to ensure that high quality work
is done. I realized how time management is very necessary to ensure a proper work-life
balance.
 Adaptability: With the landscape constantly evolving and growing with time, I learned the
importance of staying up to date with the latest information, market trends to ensure quality
work. It helps in predicting the future trends and be prepared to face changes rather than
reacting to them.
 Research: I learned how to gather relevant data, trends, or insights as I had to write various
types of content. This involved online research, reviewing databases, exploring government
and other websites, etc.
