Speaking at the National Co-operation Conference, Union Minister Amit Shah said he is proud to be the first Minister of the Ministry of Cooperation and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to give me this opportunity. He said as Minister of Cooperation, I want to tell leaders and workers across the country that the era of negligence is now over. The priority period has begun. So let's all work together to move the cooperative forward.
Amit Shah said that the cooperative movement in India can never be irrelevant. Cooperatives have got mixed in the ideas and nature of the people here. This is not a borrowed idea. The cooperative movement will progress the rural society of India and also create the concept of new social capital.
Union Minister Amit Shah further said that I have been associated with the cooperative movement for 25 years. Whenever any calamity has hit the country, cooperative movements have taken the country out. Cooperative banks work for the people without worrying about profits. Because there is co-operation in the culture of India.

Where crores of farmers of the country are associated with Amul, women have got employment from Lijjat Papad.
