Growing exponentially year on year assistance has covered maximum sectors, viz., marketing, ICDP, Sugar processing, storage, consumer, industrial and service cooperatives etc.

ICDP: One of the important schemes of the NCDC is “Integrated Cooperative Development Project (ICDP) Scheme” which was introduced in the year 1985-86 and aims at:

  • Development of Primary Agricultural Credit Societies as multi-purpose self-reliant entities.
  • Development of allied sector cooperatives; and
  • Development of viable functional linkages among cooperatives. At present in the Haryana State, 6 more districts (Panipat, Sonepat, Kaithal, Karnal, Gurugram and Kurukshetra) have been sanctioned for second phase of the project. For these ICD projects an amount of Rs.131.86 crore has been sanctioned in the State.

SAHAKAR 22: RO Chandigarh has been allotted a target of 267 primary level cooperatives for their nurturing during the year 2020-21 under Sahakar 22. RO is personally interacted with Presidents/Chairmen/Secretaries of 268 primary cooperatives during the year. During the interaction many challenges and requirements have been identified and requisite information collected in prescribed format. The interaction will be utilized for bringing awareness among the cooperators about the new schemes and initiatives of NCDC, to help the cooperatives in identifying new activities to develop and diversify their business.

CSS-FPO: NCDC is nominated as a Nodal agency to implement this scheme in pan India. Under this scheme, 21 blocks have been allotted to NCDC in 5 districts of Haryana.

Sahakar Pragya: This initiative was launched by Hon’ble Federal Agriculture Minister Shri Narendra Singh Tomar on 24.11.2020 for providing the training to Primary Level Cooperative employees. As of now, LINAC RTC, Chandigarh has organized three Training Programmes under the supervision of LINAC, Gurugram. The summarized details are as follows:

New Initiatives in the Region during F.Y. 2020-21:

SAHAKAR Pragya, SAHAKAR Mitra, CSS FPO Scheme, PM FME, and SAHAKAR 22 are the main initiative programmes/schemes of the corporation.

Initiatives for development of Aspirational Districts (identified by NITI Aayog) through Cooperatives:

NCDC is focused for the development of Aspirational District identified by NITI Aayog in the State viz, Mewat (Nuh). Rs. 12.50 Lakh were sanctioned and Disbursed for strengthening the share capital base of the Ghasera PACS in District Mewat (Nuh). Some part of this district has also been identified for the development through ICDP Gurugram. ICD Project is sanctioned for the Mewat district for the infrastructure development of the cooperatives in the region.

Development Opportunities in the State through Cooperatives:

  • Haryana is the powerhouse of India in terms of economic & cooperative development in general and its strategic location in New Delhi NCR, in particular. The State has good numbers of PACS, CMSs and other type of cooperatives and these societies can become more effective by acting as hub for rural development and can help in achieving the aim of doubling the income of the farmers.
  • Cooperatives can not only help in taking up agriculture and allied activities but also may venture in health, transport, insurance sectors. NCDC has formulated the objectives in its New India Mission document – SAHAKAR 22.

Success Story:

  • The Gulab Fruit & Vegetable Growers and Marketing Cooperative Society Ltd., Rai, Sonepat, Haryana.
    The Gulab Fruit and Vegetable Growers and Marketing Cooperative Society Ltd. was founded by a group of farmers under the supervision of Sh. Kanwal Singh Chauhan (Padma Shri awardee) in 2001 primarily to train farmers to switch from traditional farming to cash crop farming so that they can fetch higher prices in the market and improve their standard of living and secondarily to culture the cooperative values amongst farmers.
    The founder of this society has introduced `White Button Mushroom’ which in turn became a game changer to the farming community. Though, this crop could be sown once a year due to temperature requirements, but the revenue generated is enough to change the living standards of farmers. Now, this crop has become staple crop in the region and providing handsome profit to the farmers.
    Started as training and trading entity, in 2012, the society with the help of the government, decided to set up a fruit and vegetable processing unit in the Rai Industrial Area in 2012, which enabled farmers to add value to their crop and reduce food shortage. The products which cannot be consumed and sold immediately can now be processed, canned, and kept for selling later. The processing has increased shelf life of these products and reduced wastage.
    Over the years, the society membership has grown to more than 150 farmers while the community has grown to 1200 farmers growing various cash crops like mushroom, baby corn, sweetcorn, tomatoes etc. The society adds value to these crops by processing and packaging activity and sells in the nearby markets. The main buyers of this society include big hotels and international outlets of fast-food industry.
    NCDC assisted this society for strengthening share capital base and increased its borrowing capacity and business dimensions. The society was Disbursed Rs.10.00 lakhs for this purpose. Financially, the society’s turnover has grown from just Rs.5.00 lacs to Rs. 5.00 crores per annum.

Development Opportunities in the J&K

Development Opportunities in the state through Cooperatives: Jammu and Kashmir, being a hilly state, is blessed with naturally occurring micro agro-climatic regions suitable for cultivation of a wide range of agri-horticultural crops with a great potential for development. But the level of farm mechanization in the state is very poor with respect to mechanical power, efficient implements, water management, land reclamation, renewable energy, and postharvest technology sectors. The farm mechanization is badly hampered by stepped, small and irregular fields, undulating topography, lack of skilled manpower, poor facilities of repair, maintenance, and manufacture of implements and high-cost solar gadgets. Immediate attention of the state government and other funding agencies is required to strengthen the agricultural engineering wing in Jammu and Kashmir. A strong cell of agricultural engineering should be created to handle the farm mechanization problems. Despite various constraints, there is a great scope for increasing productivity of land and farmer's economy through creation of small water resources for irrigation, land development, use of efficient farm power and implements, rainwater harvest, disseminating renewable energy gadgets and introducing small scale agro-based industries employing post-harvest engineering principles.

  • Horticulture plays a vital role in the economic development of the state. With an annual turnover of over Rs.3 billion (US$43 million), apart from foreign exchange of over Rs.800 million (US$12 million), this sector is the next biggest source of income in the state's economy. The region of Kashmir is known for its horticulture industry. Horticultural produce from the state includes apples, apricots, cherries, pears, plums, almonds, and walnuts.
  • Handicraft is J&K’s traditional industry and occupies an important place in the economy of the state. Kashmiri silk carpets are famous globally and earn substantial foreign exchange. Wood from Kashmir, popularly known as Kashmir willow, is used to make high-quality cricket bats. The cottage handicrafts industry provides direct and gainful employment to around 340,000 artisans.

Success Stories:

  • The Cooperative Marketing Society Ltd. is one of the profitable society at Kupwara in J&K.
    The Society has done a commendable business during the last three years as per below proforma:
    • The Society is in the business of purchase and sale of sugar, rice, edible oil, brain, furniture fixture, stationery items, sale of computer items, cement and iron.
