In a major bid to revamp the cooperative movement in West Bengal , the Mamta government has amended the West Bengal cooperative societies act,2006.
The amendment was long overdue as the cooperative sector in the state had almost grounded to a halt.The state assembly has passed the amended act.
According to the state cooperative minister H A Safwi, the amended act would bring about great changes as it would ensure democratic elections in the cooperative societies and insurance of the cooperative banks.
The new act provided for cooperative service commission and cooperative election commission. The minister hoped that the amended act would usher in a new era of development in the cooperative sector in the state.

I would like to know the future of Cooperative Service Commission recommended staff to Calcutta Wholesale Consumer’s Cooperative Society Ltd where Sate government share participation is above 80%.The society is in sick.We get 4000/- p.m with insecurity of service. Yet cooperative service commission is treated on par with public service commission. For this we applied and appeared for tough competitive examination. As per status of commission we do not get salary and recognition. We are at stake. Cooperative service commission is not cooperating with us. West Bengal cooperative minister should take initiative .Otherwise we shall have no option but to commit suicide.

Our status is grocery worker.Being educated and selected through tough competitive examination in West Bengal we are in status of grocery worker. The society may wind up at any time because it is in loss for several years . It is not possible for the society to give us salary by retail selling rice, dal, mustard oil etc .We demand immediate withdrawal of our service from here to Cooperative sectors attached to state government,Cooperation department in Writer’s building, local cooperative Bank as per our address & reservation in state government service, age relaxation in any government service.There is no environment of work in this society . Our duty hours is from 10 a.m to 7.30 p.m in total violation of labour act whereas duty hours of PSC recommended clerks is from 10 a.m to 5.pm.WB PSC do not appoint LDA in different pay scale in the same examination to different government Body.

New Government takes a positive initiative for amendment related with cooperative sector, but this might have not fulfill the demand of cooperative sector.
I am an employee of a Nadia District Central Cooperative Bank.I realse
the necessity of Professional Management in the Board as well as administration of the Bank,
Cooperative structure has solid base but without professional management
it will not get due momentum.We also recomend that minimum qualification
of a director at central or state cooperative level should be graduate.
January 19th, 2012 at 13:57
Friends,
It is high time for Cooperative Service Commission recommended staff appointed to various cooperative Bank and cooperative societies that we should be united to execute the status of commission from present Government.In case a society winds up where Cooperative Service Commission recommended staff appointed , our duty is to stand by the them.It should be noted that we have been selected by A government Body . On the permission of Registrar of Cooperative societies , Cooperative Service Commission has recommended us in various cooperative sectors. So, we should be transferred to another cooperative bank or cooperative societies if any society winds up and if the society cannot maintain the present pay of government.
January 19th, 2012 at 14:06
We the staff of Calcutta Wholesale Con. Cooperative Society Ltd are in great distress . We wanted to meet to the present cooperative minister by sending fax but he has refused to meet us. Is it expected?It is out request to present cm to look into the matter.

The clerkship examination of West Bengal Public Service Commission is like that of West Bengal Cooperative Service Commission. Yet we are not getting at least salary of Group D staff of state government. Our status is grocery worker. The society may wind up at any time because it is in loss for several years.

There are nine government officers in our society and their salary is paid by the government of west Bengal and their duty hours is from 10 a.m to 5 p.m. West Bengal government should have thought of Cooperative service commission recommended staff, before passing the Cooperative service commission bill.
There are also School Service Commission and Calcutta Municipal Service Commission in West Bengal. The selected candidates through them get government pay with security of service. We have no security of service. We already informed the secretary of Cooperative service commission of the fact.It is shame for a state where Service commission recommended staff is grocery worker and they have no pay scale of Government. In West Bengal Cooperative Union staff are recruited through West Bengal Cooperative Service Commission .Government pay scale is maintained there.By appearing at same examination we are deprived and exploited for wrong policy of previous West Bengal government .It is shame for West Bengal.Many a local government cooperative societies want to absorb us in their societies , but cooperative service commission is needed to do so.
He informed us verbally that it is government policy & he has nothing to do. In view of the situation we have no option but to commit suicide if no redress is made in this respect from the present state government. Our request to present opposition party leader of West Bengal, Chief Justice of High Court at Kolkata, Chief secretary of West Bengal, all party leaders to stand by us to save our life and future.

My impression is Governments in W B have not found Union Government’s Policies in the interest of the State by an large. This feeling is getting rewampled with the present Government. Concept of Federalism seems to be interpreted to mean comple freedom to State. But when it comes to giving freedom to Cooperatives as advocated by the Constitution itself, in the State, the WB Government has different yard stick. If winding up of the Cooperative Commission is on the cards staff have to think of “What Next”? For a Cooperative having 80% ownership of the State, its staff is no inferirir to State Government employees.

As per act 2006, the tenure of Board of directors are for five years.On asking clarification from DRCS, no reply received to the effect whether the BOD will continue for five years.As per ammendment of 2006 act,our BOD should have arrenged fresh election after the tenure of three years as they were elected as per Act 1983.Now the BOD doesnot know what to do. As per new ammendment, they have no power to act.They should ask for a fresh election now. But who will tell them?

Dear all the employees of the Calcutta Wholesale Cons Coop Socs and all other concerned,
It is really a matter of pity of your conditions. But this is all due to the power politics that has erupted all over India. Maximun number of politicians come from cooperative sector, but as they are establised, they use cooperative as a tool to enhance their political aspirations. But this is a concerning matter for cooperators too as we have failed to put us toggether as a reckoning force. We in fact are being used for the survival by the politicians. The plans are made by the government, the aids are being given by the government but what have we done for our existance. We prefer to be slaves of the politics rather than strenghten cooperative movement. I wish u all the best and urge to stand up and fight for your cause, and let you be slaves of the principles of cooperative not politics.
thanks.
March 20th, 2012 at 09:03
Dear Benu Ji, i don,t know much about your act and haven’t either read it. But rest assured, if the act 2006 is implimented and the tenure is for fice years, they will have to quit after five years. Now that they have been elected four years back, that might be in 2007, so they will have to quit in 2012, rather they would be deemed as infructuous. All the decisions taken by them after that could be termed as illegal. By the way is there any provison in the act-2006, as the outgoing board will have to initiate election process, any speicfic days before their term ends?? I think if it is so, you need no more eleboration.
Thanks.

The Calcutta High Court today declared as unconstitutional an amendment brought by the West Bengal government to a section of the West Bengal Cooperative Societies Act, 2010. Justice B Somadder declared the amendment to section 36 of the Act, vide which the tenure of the boards of cooperative banks and societies in the state were reduced from 60 months to 36 months, as unconstitutional. Boards of several cooperative banks and societies were dissolved citing the amendment. The government had earlier this year amended section 36 of the Act, reducing the tenure of the boards of the cooperatives.

RBI is a status quoist institution, it will never supersede the board of District Cooperative Central Banks. DCCBs abound in mismanagement and corruption. They got lot of money under ADWDRS 2008 and STCCS reform package, and all has been ill spent. It is learnt that RBI officials inspected Vijaynagaram DCCB, Andhra Pradesh in Dec 2011under statutory provisions of B R Act for the financial position ending as on 31.03.2011 and found lot of irregularities. But they did not act in their recommendations to GOI or State Govt, which would have been mandatory. It appears that no one is above doubt.

As reported in The Telegraph – Calcutta – On 04.02.2013, the Bengal government promulgated an ordinance disbanding the elected boards in 2,000-odd co-operative societies that will be headed by government-appointed special officers till fresh polls. The West Bengal Co-operative Societies (Amendment and Validation) Ordinance, 2013, supersedes a Calcutta High Court order that had scrapped the state government’s earlier efforts to prune the tenure of the boards from five to three years.The timing of the ordinance is significant as the state is headed towards rural polls in which the boards of the co-operative societies are expected to play a critical role because of their clout in villages. As 90 per cent of the disbanded boards were under Left control, it is clear that the ordinance has been brought with a political motive. The ordinance had been kept under wraps till the last moment. Sources said that the government had been clearing the decks for the ordinance for some time since its attempt to bring an amendment drew a blank following a legal challenge in the high court. The court had termed the amendment, which sought to reduce the tenure from five to three years, “invalid, unconstitutional and ultra vires”.
