Haryana CM Khattar lends support to cooperative movement in Haryana

AMBALA: Haryana government will take all efforts to make cooperative movement a big success in the state, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said today.

Officers should study cooperative movement of all other states including Gujarat where small as well as big cooperative societies were showing excellent performance so as to make state cooperative movement self-reliant and more effective in the state, he said while addressing a function here.

Khattar said that he himself had remained associated with cooperative movement and during his visits to other states he had found that cooperative movement of mid India, southern as well as western India is far ahead from Haryana.

"Our government will ensure that pace of state cooperative movement could be accelerated with our joint initiatives. Cooperative has a three tier system and coordination should be maintained between all three to make cooperative movement a big success here in the state," he added.

The Chief Minister said that cooperative societies have been strengthened by making a number of amendments in their rules.

Khattar said that members of cooperative societies should consider societies as 'Sahkari' rather than 'Sarkari' as this lead to loss of faith among members.
