Review of National Cooperation Policy, 2025

The article details the review and implementation mechanism of the National Cooperation Policy (NCP) 2025. It highlights the establishment of a 'Policy Implementation and Monitoring Committee' and a 'National Steering Committee on Cooperation Policy' for central-state coordination, troubleshooting, and periodic review. The policy is implemented using a 'Whole-of-Government approach' and in the spirit of 'cooperative federalism'. A comprehensive National Cooperative Database (NCD) has also been developed by the Ministry of Cooperation, providing data on over 8.5 lakh cooperative societies across 30 economic sectors, crucial for policy formulation and implementation, including the formation of new PACS and other primary cooperatives.
