Chandigarh: Haryana Cooperation Minister Dr. Arvind Sharma said that the basic principle of cooperation is ‘Main nahin, Hum’. Cooperative institutions are being connected with technology, transparency, accountability and modern management to make them a strong foundation for the economic empowerment of farmers, employees, women and youth. The resolve of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a Viksit Bharat and Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah’s mantra of ‘Sahakar Se Samriddhi’ are being rapidly implemented on the ground in Haryana under the leadership of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini.
Dr. Arvind Sharma was addressing a programme of The Postal & RMS Employees Cooperative Bank in Ambala Cantonment on Sunday. He congratulated the bank’s Chairman Sachin Kharb, Board of Directors, officers, employees and the Postal and BSNL family for the institution’s long cooperative journey.
Dr. Sharma said that in Haryana, PACS are being transformed into multipurpose institutions instead of limiting them merely to the distribution of fertilisers and loans. Through the computerisation of 710 PACS and facilities such as Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samriddhi Kendras and Common Service Centres, efforts are being made to turn cooperative institutions in villages into strong service centres.
Dr. Sharma highlighted the contribution of postal employees and said that despite changing times and technology, society’s trust in the Postal Department remains intact. There was a time when the village postman brought not just letters, but also the happiness and messages of families. The bank is carrying that same trust forward with the strength of financial support and cooperation.
