A total of 783 cooperative societies have registered as buyers on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) portal, gaining access to goods and services offered by approximately 10.25 lakh vendors.
The initiative aims to promote transparent, affordable and efficient procurement in the cooperative sector, enabling societies to source products and services through a digital marketplace.
The move is expected to strengthen the operational efficiency of cooperative institutions by widening their access to suppliers and facilitating competitive purchasing. It also marks a step towards greater transparency and accountability in procurement processes.
The initiative aligns with the broader vision of “Sahkar Se Samriddhi”, which seeks to empower cooperatives through improved systems, digital adoption and better access to resources, helping them become more efficient and self-reliant institutions.
