He urged people associated with cooperative institutions to open their bank accounts in District Cooperative Banks to build a strong economic structure in the cooperative sector.

Shah also discussed the ‘Cooperation Amongst Cooperatives’ pilot projects in Banaskantha and Panchmahal districts. He stated that the success of this initiative would make India’s cooperative sector self-sufficient, eliminating the need for financial support from the Central or State Government. He emphasized the importance of District Cooperative Banks in strengthening Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS) and mentioned that the Government of India has started 20 different initiatives to strengthen PACS.
