Cooperatives first emerged in the 19th century as a way of rescuing farmers from moneylenders. The Cooperative Societies Act of 1904 led to the creation of cooperatives in India. Co-operatives are a crucial tool for social and economic policy. The cooperatives industry needs to become more professional and act in accordance with corporate governance principles. In our nation, there are numerous examples like IFFCO, Amul, and others that have preserved the cooperative spirit while ingraining the virtues of corporate governance. Despite difficulties in regulating cooperative banks, there are various ways for to make non-financial cooperatives play a effective role in the national economy. Cooperatives can assist India in achieving its development objectives and improve the livelihoods of its people when they are adequately supported. This can go a long way in building a Atma Nirbhar Bharat in the decades to come.
