The Vaikunth Mehta National Institute of Cooperative Management (VAMNICOM), Pune, supported by the Ministry of Cooperation, conducted a four-day exposure visit programme on cooperative business models and the Multi-State Cooperative Societies (MSCS) Act, 2002. The programme targeted officials of the Central Registrar of Cooperative Societies, Cooperative Election Authority, and Cooperative Ombudsman. It combined expert-led classroom sessions on governance, audit, and statutory compliance with field visits to various cooperative institutions—including banks, credit societies, agro-processing units, and dairy organisations—to connect legal frameworks with operational realities.
