Rajkumar used co-operatives as a powerful tool to transform the society and helped the farmers to reap the benefits of green revolution, the Lt Governor added.

We are grateful to the Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi  and Hon’ble Union Home & Cooperation Minister Amit Shah for taking the cooperative movement to the grassroots level, the Lt Governor said.

Under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister, a target has been set to establish two lakh Primary Agricultural Credit Societies in order to make these PACS operational in every panchayat of the country and fisheries cooperatives are developed in the coastal areas as well, he noted.
