Abstract

The cooperative sector in India has been recognized as a powerful tool for promoting inclusive growth and equitable development. However, despite its potential, there are challenges in harnessing the full benefits of the cooperative sector to ensure equitable distribution of resources and opportunities. This research paper aims to explore the relationship between the cooperative sector and inclusive growth in India. It examines the current state of the cooperative sector, identifies the barriers to inclusive growth, and proposes strategies to enhance the sector’s role in achieving equitable development. The study utilizes a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of secondary data and qualitative research through interviews and case studies. The findings will contribute to a deeper understanding of the cooperative sector’s impact on inclusive growth and provide insights for policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders to foster an enabling environment for cooperative enterprises and ensure equitable development in India.
