Co-orporative farming is organizing agricultural activities in Cooperative form but these village level cooperatives are run under corporate style with utmost professionalism with the support of trained unemployed graduates.
Co-orporative is new word coined to denote the combination of cooperative and corporation and to convey that cooperatives are run like corporates.
The state’s economic growth and prosperity is highly depends on the growth and prosperity of agricultural activities. The agricultural activities are highly unorganized and are subjected to terrible exploitation by all supporting systems and organizations. Corruption, nepotism, red-tapism, inefficient and in-sensitive response by bureaucratic mechanism are blocking the agricultural and development.
It is high time to develop organizations, systems and practices to insulate the developmental initiative from corruption by running them under corporate forms with as SMART corporations.( Simple, Moral, Accountable, Reliable and Transparent).
Government land is a precious resource and should not be distributed indiscriminately. Instead, the land be leased for a specific period with a specific productive targets. It is also necessary to ensure the provision of enablers of achieving such targets through professionally run and corruption free and de-bureaucratic mechanisms.
The agricultural productivity will certainly increase and contribute to another green revolution.
It is suggested to corporatize Agriculture and Farm Management practices and run in cooperative form starting from village Panchayat level.
All available the government land will be provided to cooperative societies formed at village level in which all landless persons will become members. The land will be provided to the cooperative for 30 years lease.
All the eligible and employable members in the family will become members. Children would be enrolled in the schools adopted by the village cooperatives.
All village cooperatives will function under a professionally managed corporations with specific Mission areas like Irrigation, Agri-Power, Seeds, Fertilizers, insurance, mechanization, water harvesting, Rural Health & family welfare, literacy, marketing of agricultural products:
These corporations will function without political and bureaucratic interventions as autonomous cooperatives and corporations.
All these entities are Mission driven and all stake holders will be accountable for achieving the performance targets set by the corporations.
Each Village Cooperative will have membership of 50- 250 members and will be supported by one manager for a trained graduate in rural development and cooperative management.
Human Resource :
The cooperative society will be run on corporate principles by professionally trained BBM or MBA graduates. The state universities will be directed to design courses covering all relevant topics : Management of Cooperatives, Agricultural management- crops to be grown, effective use of fertilizers, water, power, mechanization:
We can provide employment to thousands of young graduates to work for these cooperatives.
Continuous Review and Monitoring: Quarterly, half yearly and annual audits of performance will take place to monitor the results of efforts and take corrective actions.
ISO certified: All these cooperatives will be ISO certified entities; We will also include ISO certification Auditor course into MBA Program in which the Manager will be able to audit the cooperative( other one in which he is not employed and support in internal audit processes.
The scope of the Project:
Indentify the total land available in the state which is cultivable
List the crops to be grown
List the availability of water resources
Which crops are suitable for identified areas
Assess demand for such products
Match the land with right crop:
Assess the sources of power available
Indentify mechanization requirements
Transport and storage facilities
Identify necessary IT Infrastructure for networking all cooperatives
Integrate the existing organizations and bring them under the mission areas
Indentify the available centre and state government schemes
Identify the potential beneficiaries
Ensure that they are properly trained
