Cooperation Minister Amit Shah on Thursday exhorted States to work together for the holistic development of the cooperative sector so that it could contribute significantly in making India a USD 5 trillion economy.
Addressing a two-day National Conference of State Cooperation Ministers here, Mr. Shah asserted that efforts should be made to ensure that the cooperative movement run at the same speed in every State of India, a statement said.
"In those States where the activities have stopped or slowed down, the effort should be to accelerate. For that, we need a new national cooperative policy," Mr. Shah, who is also the Union Home Minister, said.
