PULWAMA: The 71st All India Cooperative Week was marked with enthusiasm in Pulwama, witnessing the distribution of registration certificates to various marketing societies, recognizing their contributions to cooperative growth.

Speaking on the occasion, Assistant Commissioner Revenue (ACR) Shahbaz Ahmad Boda emphasized the critical role of cooperatives in uplifting the local economy. He stressed the need for focused efforts in dairy production, particularly through women's cooperatives and highlighted other key sectors such as fisheries, trout farming, poultry and allied schemes.
