Cooperators from across the country are celebrating the 71st All India Cooperative Week with events dedicated to strengthening the cooperative movement, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.
The apex body of cooperatives in the country, NCUI, is celebrating the 71st All India Cooperative Week from November 14 to 20, with a different theme each day. The main theme of the 71st All India Cooperative Week is “Role of Cooperatives in Building Viksit Bharat.”
