Abstract
Description
In this session of The Conversation Series, Professor M S Sriram, Faculty and Chairperson, Centre for Public Policy, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB), shares his insights on the cooperative movement with Professor Rahul Singh, Assistant Professor, Economics and Public Policy, Amrut Mody School of Management, Ahmedabad University. He examines questions such as: does the recent restructuring in banking cooperatives set the pace for reform across the sector? Will the cooperatives be able to break free from the shackles of century-old organisation structures? Why is there a tussle between the Centre and the States to control the cooperatives? Will the cooperatives be able to defy the false dichotomy between automation and employment? How did we get here, and where are the cooperatives headed? In this year of the birth centenary of Dr Verghese Kurien, the Milkman of India, the webinar has a special focus on dairy cooperatives, and the legacy of the Father of the White Revolution.
