The one-day summit will bring key stakeholders from the government and private sector to deliberate & collaborate for transformation of cooperative societies in the state through collective approach.
It will be an ideal platform to know the current trends, challenges, opportunities and leverage the best practices. The summit will veer around the following cooperative bodies:

Karnataka has a special place in the Indian cooperative sector, as it is one of the first states to have started the movement. We are proud to say that, the first agricultural credit cooperative society in Karnataka started in a village called Kanaginahaala, Gadag district, in 1905. In the same year, a consumer cooperative society also started in Bangalore. The state has over 4,000 Primary Agricultural societies and over 10.12 lakh farmers are benefited from these cooperatives. In Karnataka 100% villages are covered by cooperative Societies.
Karnataka is progressive in Cooperative movement. It is pioneer in bringing parallel cooperative law.
