New Delhi: On June 30, 2025, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah chaired a high-impact “Manthan Baithak” with Cooperation Ministers from all States and Union Territories in New Delhi. The meeting was convened as part of the Government of India’s observance of the International Year of Cooperatives 2025, and aimed to galvanize cooperative movements across the country.

The gathering brought together key officials including State Cooperation Ministers, Principal Secretaries, and departmental Secretaries. The discussions centered on reviewing progress, sharing best practices, and aligning cooperative efforts with the government’s broader vision of ‘Sahkar Se Samriddhi’ (Prosperity through Cooperation).


🇮🇳 Cooperatives in Every Village: Government’s 5-Year Target

In his keynote address, Shri Amit Shah emphasized that the Modi Government’s aim is to ensure that every village in India has at least one cooperative institution within the next five years. To achieve this, he highlighted the utility of the National Cooperative Database, which maps out gaps in the cooperative landscape and identifies villages that lack cooperatives.

He also underlined the government’s commitment to job creation through cooperatives, calling them “the most viable option for employment generation for 140 crore Indians.”




📜 National Cooperative Policy 2025–2045 in the Pipeline

Shri Shah revealed that the National Cooperative Policy will be launched soon and will remain in effect till India’s centenary of independence in 2047. Each state will be required to draft its own cooperative policy based on local needs by January 31, 2026. The Model National Cooperative Policy Act is expected to bring uniformity, discipline, and innovation across state-level cooperative systems.


🏫 Tribhuvan Sahkari University to Anchor Cooperative Training

To address systemic issues like nepotism and skill gaps, Shri Shah recommended that every state affiliate at least one cooperative training institution with Tribhuvan Sahkari University (TSU). This move is expected to standardize and elevate the quality of cooperative education and training.


🏗️ PACS Expansion, Dairy & Fisheries Promotion

The meeting reviewed the plan to set up 2 lakh Multi-Purpose Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (M-PACS) across the country. Ministers were urged to complete their 2025–26 PACS targets by February 2026. The forum also stressed promotion of dairy and fisheries cooperatives as vehicles for rural empowerment and efficient service delivery.

Notably, India’s grain storage scheme—the world’s largest within the cooperative sector—was a major discussion point.


🐄 White Revolution 2.0 and Organic Push

Shri Shah advocated for a second White Revolution, focused on creating a sustainable, circular dairy economy. The meeting encouraged natural and organic farming and urged state Cooperation Ministers to work in sync with Agriculture Ministers to ensure food security, health, and environmental sustainability.


💻 Digitalization and Financial Reforms

Several digital transformation measures were discussed, including:

  • Computerization of PACS and RCS offices

  • Strengthening cooperative banks via Shared Service Entities (SSEs)

  • Formation of an umbrella body for Urban Cooperative Banks (UCBs)

  • Implementation of the National Cooperative Database as a planning tool

The importance of merit-based recruitment and greater transparency in UCBs and Credit Societies was strongly emphasized.


🌾 Support for Multi-State Cooperative Societies

The role of states in enabling the success of the newly formed National Multi-State Cooperative SocietiesNCEL (Exports), NCOL (Organics), and BBSSL (Seeds)—was also reviewed. These institutions are set to play a crucial role in exports, organic supply chains, and agricultural inputs.


🌐 States Reaffirm Commitment to Cooperative Federalism in ‘Manthan Baithak’

Delegates presented their planned contributions to the International Year of Cooperatives 2025 and pledged stronger cooperation through the model of “Cooperation Amongst Cooperatives,” an initiative that has shown strong results in Gujarat.

The Manthan Baithak concluded with a collective commitment to transform India’s cooperative sector into a pillar of inclusive, self-reliant, and job-generating economic growth, in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision.

ECI Uploads 2003 Bihar Electoral Rolls Online: Big Relief for 4.96 Crore Electors Exempted from Document Submission During SIR 2025

Bihar: In a significant step toward easing electoral verification processes, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has uploaded the 2003 Electoral Roll of Bihar, covering 4.96 crore electors, to its official portal https://voters.eci.gov.in. This decision is set to vastly facilitate the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in the state, reducing documentation burdens on a majority of voters.


📋 No Additional Documents Needed for 60% of Bihar’s Electorate

The updated guidelines issued on June 24, 2025, in Para 5 of ECI’s instructions, clearly state that Chief Electoral Officers (CEOs), District Electoral Officers (DEOs), and Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) must make the 2003 Electoral Rolls available to all Booth Level Officers (BLOs) in both hard copy and digital formats.

This means that approximately 60% of Bihar’s electorate—those who already appear in the 2003 rolls—will not be required to submit any documents. Instead, they need only verify their names and submit the filled Enumeration Form. This user-friendly reform significantly lightens the workload for both voters and BLOs.




👨‍👩‍👧 Children Can Use Parent Data from 2003 Roll

In a further simplification, individuals whose names are not listed in the 2003 Electoral Roll but whose parents’ names are, will not need to furnish any new documents for their parents. A simple extract of the 2003 Roll will suffice. Such applicants must submit supporting documents only for themselves along with the filled-up Enumeration Form.


📅 Legal Mandate for Regular Electoral Roll Revision

The ECI reiterated that, under Section 21(2)(a) of the Representation of the People Act, 1950 and Rule 25 of the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960, every election cycle mandates an updated revision of electoral rolls. This process—whether intensive or summary—has been consistently conducted by the Commission for the past 75 years.


🔄 Electoral Roll: A Living Document

Highlighting the dynamic nature of the Electoral Roll, the ECI noted that periodic updates are crucial due to:

  • Deaths and removals

  • Migration (for education, employment, or marriage)

  • New eligible voters turning 18

As such, the SIR serves as a comprehensive update mechanism to ensure that electoral data reflects ground realities.


🇮🇳 Voter Eligibility as per Article 326

According to Article 326 of the Indian Constitution, the right to vote is conferred upon all Indian citizens aged 18 and above, who are ordinary residents of their constituency. This foundational principle underscores the importance of accurate and accessible electoral rolls.


📢 Conclusion: Tech-Driven Transparency and Inclusion

By making the 2003 Bihar Electoral Roll available online, the ECI has taken a major step toward increasing electoral transparency, reducing voter inconvenience, and enhancing democratic participation. As the SIR progresses, this move is expected to encourage wider and easier enrollment of eligible citizens, especially the youth, into the electoral framework.
