The International Day of Cooperatives

The International Day of Cooperatives (Coops Day) is observed on the first Saturday of July (5 July this year). A cooperative is an enterprise that brings individuals together to meet common economic, social, and cultural needs. The cooperative movement in India has a significant history, closely tied to the country's socio-economic development. In a world facing complex issues such as economic inequality and social fragmentation, cooperatives offer a resilient and inclusive model. Cooperatives build a better future for all.
