What is the News?
A Parliamentary Standing Committee on Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Food Processing has submitted its report on the creation of the Ministry of Cooperation.
What is the Ministry of Cooperation?
The Ministry of Cooperation was created by the Government of India in 2021 to work towards strengthening the cooperative movement in India.
What are the views of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on the creation of the Ministry of Cooperation?
The committee welcomed the government’s decision to create a separate Ministry of Cooperation for strengthening the cooperative sector in the country to realize the vision ‘From Cooperation to Prosperity’
However, the panel highlighted that cooperative society is a State subject included in the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution.
Hence, the Cooperation Ministry should exercise utmost precautions in planning activities and programmes at the national level so that federal features of the country are not impinged upon.
