520			_aCooperative sector plays a significant role in ameliorating the economic lot of rural people. The cooperatives engaged in the rural sector provide the necessary credit at affordable rates to carryout various agricultural activities and for the establishment of micro, small and cottage enterprises, which are the backbone of rural economy. Keeping in view the tremendous potential of cooperatives in income and employment generation in rural areas, the Government of India has started various schemes and programmes under the newly created Ministry of Cooperation. All these schemes are oriented to ensure sustainable rural livelihood by strengthening the cooperative sector in the country. In order to keep pace with the changing time, the cooperatives need to be more vibrant and diversify their activities through the adoption of new technology and innovations.- Reproduced
