Subject: Revival of Cooperative Socities
Ministry: COOPERATION
Asked by: Dileshwar Kamait, Riti Pathak

## GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF COOPERATION

## LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 2141

TO BE ANSWERED ON 15 TH  MARCH, 2022

## REVIVAL OF COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES

## 2141.  SHRI DILESHWAR KAMAIT: SHRIMATI RITI PATHAK:

Will the Minister of COOPERATION सहकारिता मंत्री be pleased to state:

- a) the steps being taken by the Government for revival of the cooperative societies in the country;
- b) the main obstacles in the cooperative movement in the country; and
- c) whether the Government will reorganize the cooperative societies to make them more inclusive and to connect them with the people involved in 'Make in India' along with the steps being taken to make them more transparent ?

## ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF COOPERATION सहकारिता मंत्री (SHRI AMIT SHAH)

(a)The Country already has a rich cooperative heritage and a robust cooperative sector. There  are  two  types  of  co-operative  structures  in  the  country  i.e.  State  Cooperative Societies and Multi-State Cooperative Societies. The Cooperative Societies functioning in one state only are governed by the laws of the respective State Government and the cooperative  societies  functioning  in  more  than  one  state  are  governed  by  the  central law,  namely,  'the  Multi-State  Co-operative  Societies  Act,  2002  (Act  39  of  2002)'.  Any issues  related  to  their  administration  are  dealt  at  respective  levels.  However,  to  give new dimensions and to further promote the cooperative sector in the country through policy and other interventions, Government has created the new Ministry of Cooperation to provide a separate administrative, legal and policy framework for strengthening the cooperative movement in country.

(b)  As  per  the  statistical  profile  of  National  Cooperative  Union  of  India  (NCUI)  2018, there  are  8.54  lakh  cooperative  units  in  the  country.  Some  of  the  issues  affecting accelerated  and  equitable  growth  of  cooperatives,  inter  alia,  are  lack  of  effective governance, leadership, professional management in cooperative units and low level of technology adoption.

(c)  New  National  Cooperative  Policy  and  schemes  are  being  drafted  with  the  aim  to deepen co-operatives as a true people-based movement reaching up to the grassroots and promote a cooperative based economy model including focus on 'Make in India'. This  will  address  developmental  issues  of  cooperatives.  Inputs  /  suggestions  of  the stakeholders including Central Government Ministries have been sought.

To  make  the  cooperatives  more  transparent  and  efficient,  the  Ministry  is formulating  projects  on  relevant  interventions  viz.  creation  of  a  National  database  of Cooperatives, digitalisation of about 63000 active Primary Agriculture Credit Societies (PACS) etc.
