Lucknow, 04 July (HS): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi

Adityanath has established the state as a leader in India's cooperative sector

by being the first to announce the International Year of Cooperatives. CM Yogi

emphasized cooperatives as the cornerstone for Sahakar Se Samriddhi

(prosperity via collaboration) for a developed India by 2047. The state is

upgrading Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS) and promoting One

District, One Cooperative Bank to give farmers and rural enterprises better

access to digital payments and larger credit ceilings (up to Rs 10 lakh). Yogi

Adityanath frequently cites enormous participation gatherings—such as the Maha

Kumbh in Prayagraj—as historical and cultural examples of India's innate ethos

of collaboration and empowerment. These policies are consistent with the larger

national goal of increasing rural prosperity, creating sustainable livelihoods,

and developing a self-sufficient economy.

He mentioned in a post on X, “Heartfelt congratulations and

best wishes to all on International Cooperative Day. Cooperation is the core

spirit of India. It is that life perspective deeply embedded in our social

consciousness, which, by paving the way for self-reliance through collective

responsibility, realizes the resolve of 'Antyodaya'. Under the mantra of

'Prosperity through Cooperation' of the Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji and the leadership of the Hon'ble Union

Home and Cooperation Minister Shri @AmitShah ji, cooperation has today become a

powerful pillar of the country's development journey. Let us strengthen this

spirit of collaboration, participation, and shared responsibility even further

and become partners in building a prosperous society and 'Developed India'.”
