Cabinet nod for a national level multi-state cooperative export society

PM Modi

New Delhi: Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved setting up and promoting a national-level multistate cooperative export society under the Multi-State Cooperative Societies (MSCS) Act, 2002 aimed at providing thrust to exports from the cooperative sector by acting as an umbrella organisation for carrying out and promoting exports.
The move will help to unlock the export potential of Indian cooperatives in global markets, said a Ministry of Cooperation statement followed by the Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The multistate cooperative export society will be set up with support from relevant Ministries especially the Ministry of External Affairs and Department of Commerce, Ministry of Commerce and Industry through their export-related policies, schemes and agencies by following the โ€˜Whole of Government Approachโ€™ for undertaking exports of all goods and services produced by cooperatives and related entities.

โ€œThe proposed society will provide thrust to exports from the cooperative sector by acting as an umbrella organisation for carrying out and promoting exports. This will help unlocking export potential of Indian cooperatives in global markets. This proposed society will also help cooperatives in getting benefits of various export-related schemes and policies of different ministries of Government of India in a focussed manner through โ€˜Whole of Government Approachโ€™,โ€ said the statement.
โ€œThis will also help in achieving the goal of โ€œSahakar-se-Samriddhiโ€ through the inclusive growth model of cooperatives where the members would benefit both by realization of better prices through the export of their goods and services and also by dividend distributed out of the surplus generated by the society.โ€
Higher exports through the proposed society will increase the production of goods and services by the cooperatives at various levels thus leading to more employment in the cooperative sector, said the Ministry, adding โ€œprocessing of goods and enhancing the services to match international standards will also generate additional employmentโ€.
Increased export of cooperative products would, in turn, also promote โ€œMake in Indiaโ€ thus leading to Atmanirbhar Bharat, it added.

โ€œShashi Tharoor Can Enter Kerala CM Race Ifโ€ฆโ€: Congress MP Hibi Eden

ANI
Shashi Tharoor

Kochi: Days after Congress MP Shashi Tharoor expressed his desire to enter the Chief Ministerial race in Kerala, party MP Hibi Eden said that he can do so if โ€œthe high command allowsโ€ him.
Tharoor had shown his willingness to contest elections from Kerala while speaking to a local Malayalam news channel. When asked if he was willing to take up the Chief Ministerial post in Kerala, he replied affirmatively, โ€œI am ready for the role. But the ultimate decision belongs to the people. The responsibility of finding the underlying reasons for the issues faced by Kerala lies with us,โ€ he said a few days ago.
โ€œThe party should decide who will contest. An MP cannot decide not to contest tomorrow. If the party decides, he will have to contest. The party will say if his services are more needed for state politics. No confusion in this,โ€ Congress MP Hibi Eden said underscoring that neither the party [Congress] nor the high command has so far decided on the next chief ministerial face for Kerala.

โ€œIf they decide I will stand with him,โ€ Eden added reiterating that the party has not appointed Tharoor for the role yet.
He further said, โ€œTharoor may wish. But the party has not appointed him for that. Anyone can want it. No one is underqualified. Whoever it is, they need to be given high command clearance.โ€
Later in his address to mediapersons, Eden said that they have led the organisational activity of adding names to the votersโ€™ list and are now moving forward with that.
โ€œI have not found any difficulty in preparations related to the Lok Sabha elections. All the political parties are doing things vigorously as the elections are closer. We have already held many meetings related to the concept of Vision 2024,โ€ he added.
