Implementation of National Cooperation Policy, 2025

The National Cooperation Policy (NCP) 2025, launched on 24 July 2025 by the Home & Cooperation Minister, outlines a 10‑year roadmap for the cooperative sector with six strategic pillars, 16 objectives and 83 recommendations. It seeks to bring 50 crore people under cooperatives and triple the sector’s contribution to the Indian economy. The policy emphasises inclusion of Dalits, Adivasis and women, notably through a ‘White Revolution 2.0’ targeting a 50 % rise in milk procurement (from 660 LKgPD in 2023‑24 to 1,007 LKgPD by 2028‑29) and the establishment of new primary agriculture credit societies, dairy and fishery cooperatives. As of 15 June 2026, 38,138 new PACS, dairy and fishery societies have been registered, including 25,282 dairy cooperatives across 31 states/UTs.
