MINUTES OF THE MEETING HELD ON 31.07.08 TO DISCUSS NCDC’S AWARD FOR COOPERATIVE EXCELLENCE.

            A meeting was held in the Chamber of the Commissioner-cum-Secretary, Cooperation who is also Chairman, State level Selection Committee for NCDC’s Award for Cooperative Excellence. The meeting was attended by all the Committee members constituted vide Office Order No. 159/Coop of dated 25/07/08. The attendance to the meeting is appended below

             At the outset, Chairman of the Committee welcomed all to the meeting. Thereafter, the Chairman informed the meeting about the importance of the Award and how it would help boost the morale of a cooperative society in furthering their performance. Though the Committee had received four filled up application forms for the Award, the Committee decided to take up the case of only two MPCSs. They are as under;

               1.         Mangan MPCS Ltd.              -           North Sikkim

               2.         Luing Perbing MPCS Ltd.     -           East Sikkim.

            The other two societies were rejected as they did not have credit business which is one of the eligibility criteria. The meeting deliberated at length and decided in favour of recommending the name of Mangan MPCS Ltd. for the award as it fulfilled all the eligibility criteria as laid down by NCDC besides the added  following reasons;

a.                  This society is headed by a Woman President.

b.                  Quantum of social service rendered by this society is higher

c.                   The society is running its business in a tribal and remote area under hostile terrain.

Therefore, the meeting unanimously decided to forward the documents of the above two societies for the Award with the request that the Chairman further request NCDC to consider both the societies from our state as the cooperative societies are all functioning under difficult conditions.

The meeting ended with a vote of thanks to the chair.
