Cooperative societies are organizations formed by individuals with a common goal of addressing their economic, social, and cultural needs. Members of cooperatives pool their resources and expertise to provide goods and services that they would not be able to access individually. Today's cooperative societies have a rich history and offer several lessons for individuals and organizations in various sectors. Here are some of the key takeaways.
Cooperation leads to economic empowerment
Cooperative societies enable individuals to leverage their collective resources to access markets, finance, and infrastructure. By working together, members of cooperatives are better able to negotiate better prices for inputs and sell their products at competitive prices. This leads to improved income and living standards for members and their communities. Today's cooperatives have demonstrated that through collective action, individuals can achieve economic empowerment and reduce poverty.
