Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah addressed a national seminar organized in Mumbai today on the occasion of the International Year of Cooperatives 2025. On this occasion, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Union Minister of State for Cooperation Murlidhar Mohol, and several other dignitaries were present.
Amit Shah said that while cooperatives can be an economic system for the entire world, for India, cooperation is a traditional philosophy of life. Living together, thinking together, working together, moving toward a common goal, and standing by each other in joy and sorrow are part of the soul of Indian philosophy.
He stated that the nearly 125-year-old cooperative movement has been a support for the country’s poor, farmers, rural citizens, and especially women, through many ups and downs.
Minister Shah said that under the cooperative movement, organizations like Amul, Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited (IFFCO), Krishak Bharati Cooperative Limited (KRIBHCO), and National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation (NAFED) have created numerous success stories.
