Amit Shah Boosts Financial Inclusion with Launch of New Cooperatives

These initiatives, aimed at enhancing financial inclusion, will provide rural communities with access to credit services through tools like micro ATMs and RuPay Kisan Credit Cards.

In a significant move aimed at boosting financial inclusion, Cooperation Minister Amit Shah will inaugurate over 10,000 newly-formed multipurpose primary agricultural cooperative societies, along with dairy and fisheries cooperatives, on Wednesday.

The announcement coincides with a national conference where Shah will present registration certificates, micro ATMs, and RuPay Kisan Credit Cards to these budding cooperatives.
