Cooperatives are necessary to get the unitary benefits. The history of cooperatives in India is more than a hundred years old. Cooperatives developed very rapidly after Indian independence. Cooperatives are the group of people will come together and form a common union and try to fulfill economic, social and cultural needs. These are called as cooperative societies. The members in the society enjoy ownership rights and profits for their participation. Cooperative societies boost the equitable and sustainable development and common welfare to the producer and consumer. This system promotes fairness and ensures that those who actively engage in the cooperative’s activities reap the benefits. The importance of cooperative society has been increasing rapidly.

According to an estimate, more than half a million cooperative societies are active in the country. Cooperatives exist in sectors such as retail, banking, housing, marketing, agriculture, manufacturing, purchasing society like consumer cooperative society, producer cooperative society, cooperative credit societies, housing cooperative society, and cooperative farming society.
