Assistance to Cooperatives

 

 Objectives and Aim of   the Scheme

 

            To revitalize the sick dairy cooperative unions at the district level and cooperative federations at the State level.

 

Implementing Agency

 

            The scheme is being implemented by the concerned District Cooperative Milk Unions/State Dairy Federation. The Central grants under the Scheme are to be provided to the Milk Unions/Federations through NDDB.

 

Target Group/Beneficiaries

 

A number of dairy cooperatives with three-tier structure viz. village level primary cooperatives, district level unions and state level federations have been set up in different parts of the country under the Operation Flood Programme.  For a variety of reasons, a number of these unions/federations have accumulated losses.  These accumulated losses have been imposing severe hardships to the milk producers and their dairy economy, resulting in, among other things, delayed and irregular payments to the poor farmer members of these cooperatives. The Scheme seeks to assist the sick Cooperative Milk Unions/Federations to rehabilitate them and make them viable.

 

Pattern of Assistance/Funding Pattern

 

            The funds are released on 50:50 sharing basis between Union of India and the concerned State Government. The maximum assistance of grant is limited to the minimum amount required so that the net flow becomes positive within seven years. In any case, the total grant does not exceed the accumulated cash losses.
