National Level Database for Cooperative Societies
A comprehensive National Cooperative Database (NCD) has been developed by Ministry of Cooperation, Government of India, with the support of State/UT Governments. The data of all the Cooperative Societies from various sectors has been entered in the database by nodal officers appointed by the States/ UTs for this purpose.
The NCD has been developed in a phased manner consisting of three phases. In Phase-I, completed in February 2023, about 2.64 lakh primary cooperative societies in agriculture, dairy, and fisheries were mapped, with help from district registrar offices and 500 local interns from AICTE. Phase-II involved mapping National Cooperative Societies/Federations and their linkages with state and district levels, gathering data from various cooperative banks and federations. In Phase-III, initiated in May 2023, the database was extended to over 5.3 lakh cooperative societies in other sectors, with data entries completed by almost all States/UTs through their respective RCSs offices.
As per NCD portal, the details of cooperative societies, state-wise and sector-wise, as on date 28.11.2024 is attached at Annexure-I and Annexure-II, respectively.
The database is now operational at URL: https://cooperatives.gov.in.
