The government today said it is taking various measures to address the problems of agricultural co-operative societies in the country. In a written reply in the Lok Sabha, Agriculture minister Sharad Pawar said framing of national policy on cooperatives, assistance for cooperative education and training assistance through National Cooperative Development Corporation(NCDC) are some of the measures. Mr Pawar informed that the central government does not operate any scheme under which funds are released directly to the states for development of cooperatives. He, however, said grants-in-aid are provided to National Cooperative Union of India and NCDC.
