"If India has to develop, we have to see that Bharat also develops. Bharat can only develop through cooperative way of doing business," said Mr Sodhi
Expressing concern over increasing income disparity between urban and rural India, Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation's (GCMMF) managing director R S Sodhi on Wednesday said the cooperatives business model should be strengthened for the development of small farmers, workers, retailers and consumers.
GCMMF markets its milk and other dairy products under the Amul brand. It is a leading dairy player in the country.
Addressing a conference organised by industry body CII, Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA) and International Labour Organization (ILO), Mr Sodhi said, "If India has to develop, we have to see that Bharat also develops. Bharat can only develop through cooperative way of doing business because that model only takes care of small people."
He noted that the cooperative sector is being talked about once again everywhere since the past one year.
