Think & Discuss
India’s Cooperative Model: Can Amul & IFFCO’s Success Be Replicated Globally?
Context from today’s quiz: At the ICA World Cooperative Monitor 2025 in Doha, Amul (GCMMF) ranked 1st and IFFCO ranked 2nd globally among cooperatives. This remarkable achievement spotlights India’s cooperative movement that empowers millions of farmers and rural workers through collective ownership and democratic governance.
🤔 Your Perspective Matters
While Amul’s “billion-litre milk revolution” and IFFCO’s fertilizer network are celebrated success stories, India has over 8 lakh registered cooperatives—many struggling with governance issues, political interference, and financial mismanagement. The contrast between world-leading cooperatives and underperforming ones raises important questions.
Should India export its cooperative model to other developing nations, or focus first on reviving its own struggling cooperatives?
Should India export its cooperative model to other developing nations, or focus first on reviving its own struggling cooperatives?
- What governance reforms are needed to replicate Amul’s success in other sectors like fisheries, handicrafts, or renewable energy?
- How can technology (like TAIH’s AI capabilities) strengthen cooperative supply chains and reduce intermediary exploitation?
- Should cooperatives receive the same policy support as startups under initiatives like Startup India?
