The National Cooperative Union of India (NCUI) is a federation that seeks to advance and expand the cooperative movement in India. The NCUI's main objective is to promote cooperative identity among its members and the general public while building and expanding the cooperative sector across all areas of the economy. To achieve this objective, the NCUI collaborates with all stakeholders involved to improve and develop the organisational and functional capacity of cooperatives by providing education and training to members, leaders, and managers. The NCUI also works to coordinate and facilitate the efforts of national, international, corporate, and public organisations, as well as other key players, to achieve the Sahkar-se-Samrudhi goal.The National Cooperative Resource Centre (NCRC) is a resource centre that has been established by the NCUI and contains 12 cooperative sectoral verticals, including Multipurpose PACS, Cooperative Banking, Dairy, Fisheries, Sugar, Marketing, Consumer, Labour, Housing, Handloom/Textile, Handicraft, and Health. The primary role of the NCRC is to function as a national resource for all cooperative education and training (CET) institutions. The NCRC provides need-based information and knowledge to improve and build the multifaceted capacities of cooperatives, enabling them to develop into "Competitive Business Enterprises" and "Sustainable Self-Regulatory Institutions."The primary goals of the NCRC are to: (a) identify the training requirements needed to make the cooperative business unit competitive and sustainable; (b) identify the governance and managerial issues that need to be addressed to create an effective self-regulatory institution; and (c) explore the opportunities for and challenges associated with new cooperative formation and promotion.
