Amit Shah to Roll Out National Cooperative Policy 2025
The Indian government is updating its rules for cooperatives, which are groups that work together for a common goal.
A new policy, starting July 24, aims to make these groups more helpful and modern, especially in rural areas.
This new policy replaces the old one from 2002 because the world has changed.
The goal is to have cooperatives in every village, offering employment and income opportunities.
The government hopes this will boost the country's development by 2047.
Many people and organizations provided input to shape the new policy.
