Changes needed in cooperative sector: CM

Chief minister Narendra Modi has called for stringent measures to bring about qualitative changes in the cooperative sector to ensure that the state regains its pride in the sector.

Addressing the concluding session of ‘Sahakar Saptah’ here on Tuesday, Mr Modi announced that a necessary ordinance would be promulgated to strengthen the cooperative sector and a comprehensive cooperative policy would be formulated to help common man reap benefits in future.

Mr Modi deplored that the state was a model state as far as the cooperative movement was concerned but failed to project in proper perspective that the cooperative sector was an effective means for economic growth. He lashed Out at people with vested interests who have brought a bad name to the cooperative sector and called upon genuine leaders to carry forward the cooperative movement.

Describing ‘Samras Gam’ as the 'real brother of cooperative sector', Mr Modi said that development of villages depended on unity. The cooperative sector also aimed at development and if the forthcoming panchayat election was held by consensus, it would bring desired results, he claimed.
