The Ministry of Cooperation has recently been formed under the leadership of Narendra Modi and the reins of the ministry have been handed over to Shri Amit Shah. The core mantra of the Ministry is to strengthen the cooperative movement in the country, provide a separate administrative, legal and policy framework, and streamline the processes to enable the development of Multi-State Cooperative Societies (MSCS). The Ministry of Cooperation is expected to do unprecedented work to implement Modi’s dream of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' (Collective Effort and Inclusive Growth).
Dr Ariel Guarco, President of the International Cooperative Alliance (Global), is also joining to accelerate and strengthen the campaign of the Indian cooperatives. Around 3 million cooperatives from 110 countries of the world are associated with the International Cooperative Alliance (Global). This conference will play an important role in strengthening Indian cooperatives on the global stage.
