Later admiring union minister Radha Mohan, NCUI President said that” very few cooperation ministers in the past
have been as supportive as him. He had some misunderstanding in the beginning but with the passage of time and experience we were able to convince him of the purity of our purpose,” he added.
Reader would recall that at the behest of the NCUI Union Agriculture Union Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh has written a letter to Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani for including ”cooperative” as a subject in the courses of schools and colleges.
Eulogizing the cooperative movement of the country the Agriculture Minister wrote” India’s cooperative movement is the largest in the world as there are 10 lakh cooperative societies with 26 crore members.”

The national cooperative union of India and its arm NCCT should ask colleges and schools to start cooperative related chapter in their syllabuses”, Radha Mohan urged.
