New Delhi, 5th July. Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah will address the “Sahkar Se Samriddhi” conference on the occasion of the 102nd International Day of Cooperatives in Gandhinagar, Gujarat on Saturday, 6th July 2024. This event, organized by the Ministry of Cooperation, marks the celebration of International Day of Cooperatives 2024.

The theme for the 102nd International Cooperative Day is “Cooperatives Build a Better Future for All.” Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the guidance of Union Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah, the Ministry of Cooperation has undertaken over 54 transformative initiatives in the cooperative sector.

During the conference, Amit Shah will launch a significant scheme offering 50% assistance on the purchase of nano-fertilizers under the AGR-2 Scheme for FY 2024-25, directly benefiting farmers. He will also inaugurate the launch of ‘Bharat Organic Atta’ produced by the National Cooperative Organics Limited (NCOL).

Highlighting the importance of cooperatives in rural empowerment, Amit Shah will visit the Changda Milk Producers Cooperative Society Limited in Banaskantha, where he will oversee the transactions conducted via RuPay Kisan Credit Cards (KCC) at Micro-ATMs. He will distribute Rupay KCCs at zero interest rates to women cooperative members, further bolstering their financial inclusion.

In Panchmahal district, Amit Shah will engage with members of the Angadia Arthksham Seva Sahakari Mandli and visit the Aashapur Chhariya Milk Cooperative Society to review operations and discuss future strategies.

The ‘Sahkar Se Samriddhi’ conference not only celebrates the cooperative movement but also aligns with the International Cooperative Alliance’s theme to build a better future for all. With the United Nations General Assembly recently declaring 2025 as the International Year of Cooperatives (IYC2025), this conference marks a pivotal step towards realizing the vision of ‘Sahkar se Samriddhi’ envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
