Significant legislativeamendments have been made to create conducive environmentfor agriculture. Appreciating the efforts of NCDC, the Minister said that a keystrategy in the ecosystem is to facilitate involvement of youth incooperatives. Formation of new cooperatives is a prerequisite forbringing new life and dedication in the realm of cooperativemovement. The guidance videos in different languages covering18 States would also strengthen and deepen the major initiativesof our Government to promote and form 10,000 FPOs. NCDC hasa major role in formation of FPOs in cooperative mode. More stateswould be added to the collection of guidance videos on NCDCSahakar Cooptube Channel in due course of time. NCDC as an apex level statutory institution under the Ministryof Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare has achieved tremendoussuccess with cumulative financial assistance to cooperatives tothe tune of Rs.1,54,000 crore. Beginning with meager disbursementof Rs.2.36 crores in 1963, NCDC disbursed around Rs.28,000 croreduring 2019-20. NCDC has made an unprecedented progress inthe last six years. It has achieved 83% of the cumulative financialassistance calculated since 1963, during these last six years alone. Cooperatives in India have come a long way and have proventheir success in improving the condition of farmers and economicdevelopment. Largely as association of small and marginal farmersand rural poor, the cooperatives have acquired a huge network ofover 8.50 lakh organizations and 290 million members.
