The cooperative bodies can play an important role in the development of Arunachal Pradesh said governor J J Singh addressing an official meeting in upper Subansiri district recently.
He urged the local farmers to take the help of the cooperative societies in the marketing of their cash crops such as ginger and oranges.
He also called on the people to see their difficulties as challenges and work hard for the transformation of this frontier state.
The spread of cooperatives in rural areas are already making waves in the countrysides. In the northern states of Bihar, West Bengal , Orissa and Chattisgarh paddy procurement through cooperatives have gone a long way in strengthening the cooperative formations.
It is heartening to note cooperative being suggested as a credible agent of development in otherwise backward states of North East.

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
