Cooperatives are the mainstay of the rural economy ensuring sustainable livelihoods and income for people. There are 8.5 lakh cooperatives in India, out of which 1.77 lakh (about 20%) are credit cooperatives and the remaining 80% are non-credit cooperatives engaged in various activities. The cooperative movement has fostered a membership of more than 29 crores with a network stretching through the entire length and breadth of India. The cooperatives play a significant role in growth and development of various sectors by generating employment and income, for examples - Dairy (1,77,314 Co-operatives with turnover of Rs. 93,556 crores), Housing (28,945 Co-operatives with Loans Disbursed of Rs. 12,711 crores), Labour (46,818 Co-operatives with Membership of 27,30,000), Fertilizers (Co-operatives producing 20% of total Fertiliser in country), Fisheries (20,804 Co-operatives with membership of 32 lakhs), Sugar (188 Sugar Factories with Production of 35% of total Sugar produce), Agro- processing etc. Also Credit Cooperatives are key to ensuring financial inclusiveness in the country by disbursing credit to marginal sectors. These milestones have been achieved through a network of 21 national-level, 390 state-level, and 2705 district-level cooperative federations in the country.

The new Ministry of Cooperation has been set up by the Government of India by notification dated 06.07.2021 with the mandate of realization of vision “Sahakar se Samriddhi”, strengthening of cooperative movement in the country, deepening its reach up to the grassroots, creation of appropriate policy, legal and institutional framework to help cooperatives realize their potential, etc. As one of the major steps to fulfil the above mandate, the Ministry is in process of formulating a new cooperation policy, since the existing policy was formulated way back in 2002. The new policy would address the challenges faced by the sector in today’s world.

The new cooperation policy is being formulated in consultation with all the stakeholders. The Ministry has received many valuable inputs and suggestions from the State Governments, Central Ministries, Federations and Institutions. A national conference with State Governments and the Central Ministries was also held on 12-13 April, 2022 at Delhi. The Ministry is also in the process of holding a series of stake holder consultations for formulation of new cooperation policy.

As a part of this consultation, the Ministry is inviting your valuable inputs/ suggestion for formulating the national cooperation policy under various themes.

Kindly share your suggestions as per the following Categories :
i. Cooperative Governance
ii. Legal and Regulatory Framework
iii. Training Education and HR Policy
iv. Cooperatives to be Vibrant Economic Units
v. Setting New Cooperatives, Sustainable Development of Cooperative
vi. Diversification of Cooperatives/ Social Cooperatives

The last date to receive suggestions is 15 June,2022

🙏🏻🚩🇮🇳🌍👍🏻💐Jai Sri Krisna New Cooperative policy should address issues arising out of dual controls on cooperative societies operating in different sectors of economic activities. Highlights C P We are in the era of “start ups,” “Aggregators” & Technology of “Big Data” & “Block Chain” * India has immense scope and potential for well qualified, tech-savvy innovative youth with ideas to take the lead and incubate start ups in a large areas of economic activities like agriculture, horticulture, food processing, distribution, rural and urban housing, transportation & logistics etc. and promote cooperatives, which by definition are aggregators, with membership of local beneficiary population particularly the youth. * A drawback of sorts, in Indian cooperative movement, has been observed by International bodies, in terms of availability of authentic statistical data, particularly for primary cooperatives at grass roots level in different sectors. Thanks To All. Jai Hind.

continuous rule of congress for over 65 years has made co-operative sector as it's Family affairs. violated all rules and regulations, throughout amended rules and regulations to suits their party cadres to show favouritism and misused powers and looted public money. example co-op Banks scandals where thousands of crores àre misused public money. yet trying to escape legal actions. public are great sufferers. My suggestion is co-operative Banks should not be controlled by any state govts. full administrative controls and governance should be directly under RBI. co-op Banks should be on par like Nationalised banks levels. co-op Banks should not be included in other co-op sectors activities. stringent actions should be taken against the management of co-op Banks, we depositors of Guru Raghavendra Co-op Bank, Bengaluru suffering terribly, our hard earned Life savings stuck up. fraudsters are under protection from powerful politicians and from beurocrats. investigation agencies poçketed.
