The Co-operative Department of Uttarakhand works to strengthen community-driven development across the state by encouraging people to come together, share resources, and progress collectively. Built on the belief that communities grow stronger when they support each other, the department guides and promotes a wide network of cooperative institutions that serve citizens in both rural and urban regions.

Our approach focuses on enabling individuals—especially those at the grassroots—to access financial support, market opportunities, essential services, and fair economic systems through democratically managed cooperatives. Every cooperative is shaped by values of trust, transparency, equality, and shared responsibility, ensuring that people remain at the center of every decision.

By supporting various types of cooperatives involved in finance, agriculture, community services, production activities, and everyday consumer needs, the department plays a key role in improving livelihoods and nurturing self-reliant local economies. Training, capacity building, and leadership development are consistently promoted to empower members and strengthen cooperative governance.

The department continues to expand its reach by encouraging innovation within cooperative structures, promoting ethical business practices, and fostering partnerships that uplift communities. Through this collaborative model, Uttarakhand moves steadily toward inclusive growth, sustainable development, and shared prosperity—where progress is not limited to a few, but experienced by all.
