Cooperative Society consists of members, who are voluntarily
united and form an organization with common goal of improving their economic
status and standard of living. It is indispensable in a democracy for its
planned economic action. It helps in development of rural areas, creates
employment opportunities, helps in reduction of poverty, encourages the saving
habit of people and investment, and improves the standard of living. In Assam, Co-operative
society was started in Assam in 1904. Presently, 13722 different Co-operative
Societies are operating in the state in almost all economic sectors like
agriculture, dairy, fishery, pisciculture, primary housing, consumer,
processing and marketing, banking, healthcare, education, other agricultural
and allied sectors. The study attempts to evaluate the performances of
Co-operative Societies of Assam, using secondary data that are collected from the
Statistical Handbook, Assam and Economic Survey, Assam. | |
