New Momentum for ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’
Reaching the ₹1 lakh crore turnover mark is a rare and monumental feat that places these cooperative entities alongside some of the biggest corporate conglomerates in the country.
Amit Shah noted that the success of these massive cooperative frameworks acts as a major catalyst for India’s broader self-reliance goals. He stated that the achievement will “provide new energy to the journey of building an Atmanirbhar Bharat”.
By successfully scaling to such massive heights, both Amul and Saraswat Cooperative Bank continue to prove that the cooperative business model can thrive and compete aggressively, all while directly empowering and enriching millions of local farmers, depositors, and small business owners nationwide.
