The cooperation secretary W.V.R Murthy said that though the marketing societies, credit societies and corporation banks in the cooperation sector are doing well the Goa Primary agriculture cooperative sector is not having much momentum in the state.
“The government is trying to improve the agriculture cooperation scenario in the state. The Government has initiated computerisation of Primary agriculture cooperatives in the state. 12 such PAC’s have been computerised”, said Murthy while speaking at the award distribution ceremony to best performing cooperative societies at Secretariat Seminar Hall, Porvorim on 24 January 2019.
The National Co-operation Development Corporation (NCBC) distributed awards for cooperative excellence and merit to three cooperative societies in Goa. Pedne Taluka Farmers Cooperative limited, Kurdi Vividh Karyakari Sahakari Society limited, Karmali corlim multipurpose cooperative society got the awards.
These cooperative societies have mad net profit without any financial defaulting worked for social cause in
the society.
This is first time the NCBC has distributed awards in Goa. These awards are
given by NCBC to recognise and encourage good working
cooperatives. Rs 25,000 and recommendation letter are
given to the cooperative societies as awards.
Menino D’souza, Registrar cooperative societies, Vandana Savadi, Regional Director of NCDC, Prasad Valvaikar, Deputy director Registrar of cooperative societies, V.B. Prabhu Verlekar and Vitthal Vernekar, Chairman of Goa Supply Board and marketing Federation were also present at the awards distribution ceremony.
Menino D’souza applauded the efforts taken by Cooperative societies to solve their problems on their own. “The cooperative moment in Goa has become robust”, he added.
This time few nominations were sent from Goa that is why only three cooperative societies were selected for best cooperative awards. Actually NDFC has plans to give six awards in Goa. It may recalled that there are about 3,631 registered co-operative societies in Goa.
