Udaipur: The Udaipur unit of **Sahakar Bharati** celebrated its 48th Foundation Day. According to District General Secretary **Dr. Om Sahu**, the event was held at the Bar Auditorium in the Court Complex.

Speaking on the occasion, **Manoj Sharma** emphasized that every aspect of life is connected with cooperatives.

Recognizing the importance of this sector, the Government of India established a separate **Ministry of Cooperation**.
Sharma added that alongside promoting value-based cooperation, Sahakar Bharati will also address the challenges faced by the cooperative sector. As decided in the recent state committee meeting held in Sikar, deliberations are ongoing statewide, and these issues will soon be presented to the government. If required, movement-based actions will also be undertaken. He urged workers to actively engage at the grassroots level in **LAMPS, PACS**, and other cooperative institutions and to focus on individual and committee-level membership drives as part of Sahakar Bharati’s ongoing membership campaign.
**Pramod Samar**, who presided over the program, highlighted the role of cooperatives in reaching the masses and promoting economic development. Senior cooperative leader **Shanti Lal Sharma** outlined the new cooperative policy and ongoing changes in the sector. Department Coordinator **Gopal Paliwal** presented the financial report for FY 2025 of the sweets project run by the **Pratap Multipurpose Cooperative Society**, inspired by Sahakar Bharati.
