Future Strategy for Development of Co-operatives

Co-operatives H B Shivamaggi THE co-operative sector is an all-pervasive and diversified sector consisting mainly of three categories of co-operatives: (1) credit co-operatives, (2) functional co-operatives like dairy societies, and (3) service societies like marketing societies.

Most of these problems emanate from the external factors which are also the cause of internal weaknesses.
