Dr Regmi asserted, “Cooperatives sector that has been one of the pillars of national economy is capable of playing an important role in building a socialism-oriented economy as envisaged by the Constitution, achieving sustainable development goals and bringing about good changes in the multi-dimensional poverty index.”
He pointed out the need to take forward cooperatives with a new thinking and in a well-cultured way.
On the occasion, speakers univocally underscored the need of the hour was to encourage disciplined and law-abiding cooperatives to stave off the negative tendencies prevailing cooperatives sector.
