FNJ collects suggestions on cooperative reference interest rate

FNCCI President Minraj Kandel said that the cooperative policy should be discussed as it is the guideline of the cooperative movement. He said that he would suggest to include the spirit of the campaign and the spirit of the constitution in the policy. From the discussion, it has been concluded that the policy should be issued only after extensive discussions with the cooperative workers.

Incumbent Chairman Keshav Badal said that various studies have shown that cooperatives have been making significant contribution in the program of multidimensional poverty reduction. While reviewing the implementation of the National Cooperative Policy, 2069 BS, he stressed on the need to accurately analyze the achievements of the campaign in line with the objectives of the policy.
