1.9. Weakness of the cooperative movement
Unit 1 - Cooperation
1.9. Weakness of the cooperative movementIt has been observed that cooperation in India has not been a living, dynamic force contributing to the moral, intellectual and economic improvement of the rural masses. It has not become with the cultivators a “way of life”, but has remained a Government agency from which they can obtain cheap credit. The very slow progress of cooperative societies for purpose other than credit(e.g., societies for consolidation of holdings, joint cultivation of land, for purchase and sale of products) proves that the real message of cooperation(i.e, “ self help and mutual association of common economic good”) has not been grasped by the cultivators.
