The cooperative system in India is increasingly acknowledged for its ability to alleviate the detrimental effects of globalisation. The deficiencies and inefficiencies evident in the public sector, along with the restricted impact of privatisation in rural regions, have reinforced the argument for rejuvenating the cooperative sector. The Government of India is dedicated to promoting cooperative development, recognising its fundamental advantages in tackling essential challenges including poverty reduction, food security, and employment generation. This research examines the challenges and opportunities within the cooperative industry in India utilising secondary data sources. The findings indicate numerous enduring issues, such as insufficient infrastructure, excessive governmental intervention, mismanagement and malpractice, restricted coverage, and operational inefficiencies. Based on these insights, the paper advocates for essential measures to enhance the cooperative movement: the establishment of multipurpose societies, the provision of cooperative education, the appointment of qualified and professional administrators, the broader dissemination of the cooperative model, the promotion of research, and the implementation of effective monitoring mechanisms. Urgently implementing these procedures is essential to fully use the potential of cooperatives in India's socio-economic development.
