India Announces Policy to Boost Cooperative Sector, Aiming for Village Presence
Imagine India wants every village to have its own special group called a cooperative.
These groups help people work together, like farmers or people who need loans.
The government is making a new plan to help these groups.
The goal is to have lots more of them, so they can help more people.
They want these groups to be good at what they do and be able to manage their own money.
