As cooperatives hold the key to the rural economic transformation of the nation, particularly in agriculture and related sectors with the promise of growth with equity, all efforts should be made to leverage the strengths of cooperatives and transform them into successful and vibrant business enterprises in order to realize the vision of "Sahakar-se-Samriddhi". The Ministry of Cooperation has taken initiatives to encourage cooperatives to think globally and act locally in order to leverage their comparative advantage in sectors like, - agriculture, horticulture, dairy, poultry, livestock, fisheries, sugar, spices, organic products, fertilizer, handloom, handicraft, textile, tea/coffee, minor forest produce, ayurvedic/herbal medicines, processed food, leather, etc. across the globe.
