“Cooperatives are a reminder to the international community that it is possible to pursue both economic viability and social responsibility” –
Former UN Secretary General - Ban Ki- moon
____________________ said: “Suppose I have come by a fair amount of wealth - either by way of legacy, or by means of trade and industry - I must know that all that wealth does not belong to me; what belongs to me is the right to an honorable livelihood, no better than that enjoyed by millions of others. The rest of my wealth belongs to the community and must be used for the welfare of the community”. This forms the essence of the co-operative movement, which is based on the principles of community camaraderie, mutual help, democratic decision making and open membership, etc. commonly known as “Co-operative Principles”.
