Cooperation Minister Amit Shah on Friday will launch a national cooperative database to foster a cooperative-centric economic model.
Mr. Shah will also release the 'National Cooperative Database 2023: A Report', according to an official statement on Thursday.
To fulfill Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of 'Sahakar se Samriddhi', it is another important initiative of the cooperation ministry.
Under this initiative, the cooperation ministry has recognised the imperative need for a robust database to capture vital information about India's vast cooperative sector.
"Collaborating with state governments, national federations, and stakeholders, a national cooperative database has been developed to foster a cooperative-centric economic model," the statement said.
The database is a web-based digital dashboard wherein data of cooperative societies including national/state federations have been captured.
The data of cooperative societies have been entered and validated by states/ UTs nodal officials at RCS/DRCS offices and data of federations have been provided by various national/state federations. RCS is Registrar of Co-operative Societies and DRCS is Deputy Registrar of Cooperative Societies.

The Union Home Ministry has announced a major policy shift for ex-Agniveers, raising their reservation in Group C posts of the Central Armed Police Forces from 10% to 50%, starting with the Border Security Force. Ex-Agniveers are exempt from physical tests but must clear written exams, with a minimum qualification of Class 10 pass. The move aims to provide stable government jobs for Agniveers retiring in 2026, sparking debate on its impact on other candidates.
