A new Ministry of Cooperation has been created to strengthen cooperative movement. This separate administrative structure was proposed in Union Budget earlier this year. New ministry is expected to streamline processes for cooperatives and realise the vision of ‘ Sahkar se Samriddhi’.

In this article we will discuss and analyse all aspects of this issue.

What is a Cooperative?

• A cooperative is “an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly-owned enterprise”.
• Cooperatives are democratically owned by their members, with each member having one vote in electing the board of directors.

Cooperative Movement in India

The history of cooperatives in India goes back to more than a hundred years and they continue to stay relevant due to their grassroots reach and ability to bring economic growth to underserved sections.

• The cooperative movement, which has its roots in the 19th century Europe, developed in pre-Independence India in response to agricultural distress and indebtedness.
• Their growth was fostered, first by India’s erstwhile British rulers and, post-Independence, several steps have been taken to put assist in their growth and functioning.
• The formal launch of the cooperative movement in India occurred with the introduction of the Cooperative Societies Act in 1904.
• However, it notes that even before the passing of that law, “the practice of the concept of cooperation and cooperative activities were prevalent in several parts of India”.
• In 1912, another Cooperative Societies Act was passed to rectify some of the drawbacks of the earlier law.
• The next landmark change came in 1919 when cooperation was made a state subject. That allowed the various states to come up with their own legislation governing cooperatives.

Who can form a cooperative in India?

• Cooperatives are geared towards benefiting the chunk of Indian people — about 65 per cent of the country’s population — who depend on agriculture and related activities.
• According to the Co-operative Societies Act, 1912, at least 10 persons aged above 18 years with common economic objectives, like farming, weaving, consuming, etc, can form a cooperative society.

Which are the key sectors where cooperatives operate in India?

1. Consumer Cooperative Society
2. Producer Cooperative Society
3. Co-operative Credit Societies
4. Marketing Cooperative Society
5. Housing Cooperative Society
6. Co-operative Farming Societies

• The various kinds of cooperatives in India include consumers’ cooperative societies, which seek to protect the interest of general consumers by making goods available at reasonable rates.
• Then there are producers’ cooperative societies that protect the interest of small producers by enabling access to raw materials, tools and equipment, machinery, etc. are examples of producers’ co-operative societies.
• Among the most famous cooperative brands in the country, Amul developed out of the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation, which is owned by 36 lakh milk producers in Gujarat.
• It is an example of a cooperative marketing society, formed by small producers and manufacturers who find it difficult to sell their products individually.
• Among other types of cooperatives are cooperative credit societies, which accept deposits from members and grant them loans at reasonable rates, and cooperative farming societies, which are formed by small farmers to work jointly and thereby enjoy the benefits of large-scale farming.

Why needs cooperatives?

It is easier to understand the need of the cooperatives by knowing its specific objectives. They can be summed as follows:      

• Cooperatives are good, reliable opportunities for growth
• They provide an opportunity for collective decision making.
• They eliminate the unnecessary profits of middlemen in trade and commerce.
• They aim to protect the rights of people both producers and consumers.
• They promote mutual understanding and education among their members and people in general.
• They bring together people at the grassroots and provide them collective bargaining power and benefits of economies of scale.
• They provide an economic model with a higher level of entrepreneurial or social sustainability and often work as pressure groups to voice the views of their members in a larger market.
• Being a part of a co-op improves your creditworthiness as a producer as well as a consumer.
• They are easy to join, ensure equitable distribution of profits, prioritise welfare over individual profits, are stable in their functioning and output, and receive a substantial amount of government support.

Why need a separate ministry?

• Over the years, the cooperative institutions have experienced drying out of funding.
• While the capital came from the Centre, in the form of equity or working capital, only a few states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka got to enjoy it, while other states could not receive much.
• It had become important to restore the structure of these cooperatives.
• Under the new Ministry, the cooperative movement would get the required financial and legal power needed to penetrate into other states also.

How do these cooperative structures influence politics?

• The cooperative institutions ranging from the village-level primary agricultural credit societies (PACSs) or the urban housing societies have been the starting point of a lot of present leaders.
• That’s because these cooperatives elect their own board of directors.
• Many veteran politicians of the day have been in connection with the cooperative movement in the past.
• They often tend to start their political career through cooperative elections.
• Control of co-operatives allows politicians to influence decisions upstream (who gets a cabinet seat) as well as downstream and ancillary fields (where are the votes coming from).
• They are a source of funding and patronage.
• A canny politician can leverage his/her power at the cooperative level all the way to state and national prominence.

Challenges for cooperatives

• Capital: As the income from agriculture in the rural sector has declined drastically there these banks need a new business model to function.
• Regionality: Milk cooperatives are a huge source of income for the farmers but the growth of the dairy sector is dismal. The North and northeast do not contribute substantially to the dairy sector.  There is a need for policies for supporting ancillary services for the dairy sector.
• State laws: State cooperative Laws are not in tune with the current socio-economic situation.

Opposition from the states

• In Maharashtra and Gujarat, there are many big cooperative societies engaged in sugar and milk production, power looms, and running urban and rural non-agri credit societies.
• In Mh alone there are around 21,000 primary agriculture credit societies and 31 district cooperative banks.
• It is believed that around 150 MLAs in Maharashtra are connected to this sector.
• The Left parties have also expressed concern over the move, stating that it seeks to undermine the federal structure of the country. 
• Cooperative societies are a state subject in the Constitution’s 7th Schedule.

What will be the new cooperation ministry’s role?

• Separate administration: With a focus to help deepen cooperatives as a true people-based movement, the ministry is mandated to “provide a separate administrative, legal and policy framework for strengthening the cooperative movement”.
• Facilitation: The ministry will streamline processes for ease of doing business for cooperatives and enable the development of multi-state cooperatives.
• Expansion: With the coming up of handicraft and weavers’ cooperatives and so on the farmers’ income can be doubled.
• Economic boost: It will contribute towards economic growth and development. It will help in identifying other sectors where the cooperatives can come up which will be beneficial for the ones down the value chain.

What should be the key areas where the ministry should focus?

• Rural sector: Double farmers’ income can be achieved by growth of the food processing industry. India can learn from the Netherlands in this aspect.
• Housing for all: Mass housing through cooperative societies in urban areas as majority urban poor live in slums.
• Consumer cooperatives in urban areas: There are none in the country with credible work. As these can act as a balancing sector.
• Ease of doing business: EODB norms should be extended to all cooperatives so that they are able to function without obstructions.

Way forward

• The new ministry should empower cooperatives to form their SPVs.
• It should promote companies under the companies act which are formed by the cooperatives.
• The cooperative should not be dependent only on govt or borrowing for capital.

Covid-19 has pushed the world into a pervasive crisis encompassing every aspect of human life. With the passage of time, the trade-off between saving lives and saving livelihoods has grown starker.  

This article attempts to relate the present crisis to the Gandhian way of thinking to arrive at some concrete take-homes.

Unprecedented uncertainty

• The most fearsome feature of this pandemic is its uncertainty: from the symptoms and their absence to the possibility of its return with a vengeance, and the serious after-effects on the ‘recovered’ cases.
• It is time to introspect about the wrongs we have committed as ‘civilized’ inhabitants of the earth which makes our ways of living so precarious, inequitable and unsustainable today.

Gandhi and the Pandemic

• Beginning with the containment of wants, Gandhian economics, grounded on the premises of non-violence, truth and non-covetousness (Aparigraha/not possessing), is instantly antithetical to mainstream economics.
• It is based on the principle of dignity of labour, self-sufficient and strong village economy and public trusteeship.
• It offers an integrated view of managing economy, polity and society harmoniously. Gandhian thought can provide some critical insights during this exercise in introspection.

How is Gandhiji relevant in this pandemic?

(1) Gandhian principles

• Non-violence: Squeezing wages and exploiting workers is also equivalent to violence. Creating circumstances that force people to migrate because of poverty might amount to violence at a societal level.
• Non-possession: Unequal landholding is a manifestation of greed, which was sought to be corrected through the Bhoodan movement by Gandhiji’s illustrious disciple, Vinoba Bhave.
• Self-sufficient villages: Gandhiji wanted to reverse this by making village communities stronger and self-sufficient.
• Social empowerment: Empowering villages through a benevolent Jajmani system was his idea of nurturing the roots of India that lived mostly in villages.

Note: Jajmani system or Yajman system was an economic system most notably found in villages of India in which lower castes performed various functions for upper castes and received grain or other goods in return.

(2) Opposition for automated production

• Gandhiji’s ideas about the choice of technology have been much debated. He was not against industries.
• He was proponent of the key idea for optimally using the local resources and skills.

(3) Trusteeship and community ownership

• Industries would be necessary for progress, and they would have to make profit in order to survive.
• But again, the profits belong to the society, that provided every possible resource to an industrialist, who is therefore a mere trustee of this wealth. It becomes his obligation to look after the needs of the society.
• Using profit towards larger social good, which is the crux of Corporate Social Responsibility, can be traced back to Gandhiji’s idea of Trusteeship.

The current pandemic has paved the way for the possibility of a social experimentation based on Gandhian ideology, and there are several grounds to justify this position:

(a) Changing Consumption Pattern

• The pattern of consumption has changed significantly especially since the lockdown.
• Studies have noted a substantial reduction in ‘discretionary’ or conspicuous consumption (meaning luxuries goods consumption has declined).
• Consumers are less blinded by the ‘brand value’ and are increasingly alert about distinguishing between essential and non-essential consumption due to financial viability.
• Preferences are shifting to natural and herbal remedies.
• However, there are studies of higher incidence of substance abuse, alcoholism, anxiety and depression, and on the other, innovative and creative ways are being devised to make home-stay more bearable.

(b) Changing Patterns of Production

• As the world grapples with the problem of fragmentation of the supply chain, the necessity to restart in whatever manner possible, producers may be forced to relocate their sources of supply.
• There is a trend towards the relocation of GVC (Global Value Chain) in favour of greater use of local skills and materials.
• Compelled by the pressures of circumstance we might redevelop production systems of the kind that Gandhiji advocated strongly to promote self-sufficiency.

(c) Empathy towards the Deprived

• The migrants reaching their home States in large exodus has been a heart-wrenching story.
• The State did arrange Shramik trains to ensure safe return, but the role of individuals, NGOs and religious institutions that extended a helping hand so spontaneously cannot be overemphasized.
• If the reverse migrant movement is akin to partition, so is the extent of support and help from various quarters of the society.
• Gandhiji would have not only appreciated this spirit of empathy but would have perhaps succeeded in processing into institution building to sustain it longer.

When the existing patterns of socio-economic systems are shaken, they create a space for a paradigm shift. It is also an opportune time to correct the previous malfunctions of the system. For example:

i. Reducing Rural-Urban Imbalance:

• Providing more jobs in the non-agriculture sector and more so in manufacturing is the need of the hour.
• Promoting agro-based and related commercial activities such as fisheries and food processing can go a long way in providing more opportunities for gainful employment in the rural sector.
• This would be a step in the Gandhian direction.

ii. Domestic Violence and the Gender Issue:

• It is well-recorded that there is an increase in violent, abusive, impulsive, compulsive, and controlling behavior and aggression towards women during the period of economic hardships.
• Studies suggest an astonishing rise in the harassment of women behind closed doors.
• This has justified the term ‘parallel pandemic’ to domestic violence, underlining the dark gender impact of the pandemic, but they have also brought out the issue of gender disparity and the disenfranchisement of women in a manner that can no longer be overlooked.

(d) Treatment to the Reverse Migrants

• States which have had pressure for accommodating reverse migrants now have an opportunity to deploy their expertise at home.
• These States can use this experienced labour force to work on improving infrastructure, building industrial estates, setting up new MSMEs, etc. to attract more business.
• As for migrants with experience of running tiny or home-based businesses, it is possible to bring them together into clusters to form co-operatives.
• Co-operatives are important because they facilitate decentralization of the process of growth, which is Gandhian in spirit.

(e) Urban Development

• Covid-19 has emphasized the need for cleanliness and hygiene like never before.
• It has compelled the urban local bodies to improve and expand their health services.
• Ignoring hygiene or treating it as welfare or a charitable act is not going to help because these are necessary for everyone’s survival now.
• In a way, ensuring decent living conditions, which is implicit in the dignity of labour, is thrust upon us as a need for survival.

(f) Decent Wages and the Covid Allowance

• States from where the migrant workers have moved out have had to raise wages due to a severe shortage of labour.
• They do echo the need to treat workers with dignity through intervention in the Ahmedabad textile strike to negotiate in the issue of plague allowance.

(g) Environmental Concerns

• Lockdown reportedly reduced air and water pollution substantially.
• It would be up to us to maintain it with as much caution as possible.

Way forward

• Gandhiji has been the conscience-keeper of our country.
• This onslaught of circumstances calls for an alternative way of managing human affairs and revisiting Gandhi.
• It is high time we follow his advice as he would have given us if he were alive.

Conclusion

• Any attempt to engage in greater sustainability is Gandhian in spirit because it can be achieved only by rising above the baser instincts of greed, violence and petty self-importance.
• In a truly Gandhian perspective, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals can be seen as an integrated vision stemming from a peaceful and harmonious coexistence of all.
• The pandemic has opened up opportunities to tweak our ways of living on this planet in a wiser and more compassionate way.
• The choices we make now can have long-term effects on our well-being.

Now Suppose if we tell you that by Joining Civilsdaily’s Foundation program, this ratio increases to 80 per cent. How will you react?.

You might think that we are cracking a joke. But fortunately, this is possible, which we achieved with the Smash Mains Program last year. 80 per cent success rate. (Read testimonials below)

Unfortunately, this program was only open to Veterans. We believe that with the same mentorship style, we can replicate the same success with Aspirants who have just started preparation and are targeting the 2022 UPSC exam. Why waste 5 years when you can crack the exam on the very first attempt.

I need 50 dedicated students who can give their 100 per cent for next 1 year. Follow whatever I tell you and I assure you that your chances of cracking the exam on the very first attempt would significantly increase.

To know more about how your journey will be under my guidance for the next 1 year. Please register for the open Webinar on Sunday.
