Operators of cooperatives often put forth their complaints that the sector remains ever in the sideline of the government’s priority. While the number of cooperatives has been ballooning in size with over 30,000 cooperatives registered in Nepal, the sector struggles for its qualitative growth.

Cooperatives are in existence in almost all the countries of the world with an objective to augment the social, economic and cultural needs of the members by doing business based on the members’ needs, aspirations, skills, knowledge and occupation/profession.
