Time to rejuvenate Co-operative Societies: Annual General Meetings marks the weekend:
The August month comes up with an all new enthusiasm and charisma for Co-operative Organisations in the region. Most of the CO-operative Organisations have their Annual General Meetings to present whole year's achievements and accountability. The Jalgaon District considered as one of mega hub of co-operative movement has more than 600 co-operative societies with thousands of Crores of funds being channelled through them.
The region has witnessed many shocks on the co-operative front this year especially with reference to distribution of loans and its recovery thereof. The "Non-Performing Assets (NPA)" criteria seem to have taken away breaths of managers of these organisations with demands of more of transparency in accounting systems. Railing behind a decade or two decades recalls us of times when there were no other than Nationalised banks available to fund and avail resources conceived the Co-operative movement foundation. The edge has changed and liberalised significantly with easy availability of funds from almost every channel may it be Nationalised Banks, Other Financial Institutions, Private National Level Banks and other sources, but the Co-operative movement did not changed its selling pattern thereby crunching its business revenue model. The biggest ground level player and active holding of common men co-operative movement has trapped itself into leadership and financial management chaos. If the same level of vandalism continues to its image, next decade would see wipe away of this movement.
Customer focussed approach, friendly services, Inter-connected Network resources, Inter-Bank/ Organisation Automated teller machines, eagerness to offer the best and inventing newer services for benefiting common man remains just dreams than getting cashed. The co-operative movement still has a chunk of revenues from Draft Commission, Loans Disbursements, Loan applications processing fees and remains in attraction for higher (around 2-3%) interest rates to fixed deposits and ease in timings for services. The Organisations need to study changing business pattern and competitiveness being seen in Banking Industry and come up with an all new approach to avail best of business practices and enact as a backbone to society for overall societal benefit.
