Vision

The Cooperative Department, Government of Bihar envisions a vibrant, community-driven cooperative movement that empowers rural communities through participation and shared ownership. Our goal is to strengthen grassroots economic frameworks by promoting inclusivity, transparency and modernization in the cooperative sector. We implement a range of initiatives to achieve this vision, including state-funded programs like Procurement, Bihar Rajya Fasal Sahayata Yojana, Mukhyamantri Harit Krishi Sanyantra Yojana and the Godown Construction Scheme, aimed at agricultural empowerment and rural infrastructure development. To enhance efficiency and transparency, we have introduced computerization of PACS, along with diversification of services such as Common Service Centres, Pradhan Mantri Jan Aushadhi Kendras, Pradhan Mantri Krishak Samriddhi Kendras and Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs). Additionally, Micro-ATMs are being deployed through M-PACS and M-DCS to ensure doorstep delivery of credit facilities. Guided by the principle of “Cooperation to Prosperity,” we strive to build a modern, inclusive and sustainable cooperative ecosystem for Bihar.
