Chennai, Oct 22 (IANS) Tamil Nadu BJP spokesperson ANS Prasad on Wednesday wished Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah on his birthday and praised his visionary leadership and transformational role in strengthening India’s cooperative movement.
In his message, Prasad described Union Minister Amit Shah as the “true architect of cooperative excellence” whose dynamic leadership has empowered farmers, women self-help groups and rural entrepreneurs.
“Under his guidance, the cooperative sector has evolved from a passive space to a driving engine of inclusive growth,” he said.
ANS Prasad highlighted that since taking charge of the Ministry of Cooperation in July 2021, Amit Shah has initiated a series of reforms that have brought transparency, technology integration and accountability in cooperative institutions.
“His reforms have rejuvenated more than eight lakh cooperative societies across India, directly benefiting nearly 60 crore citizens through better access to credit, housing, health care and essential commodities,” the BJP spokesperson said.
He lauded the unveiling of the National Cooperation Policy 2025, a landmark framework introduced after 23 years, which outlines six key pillars – institutional strengthening, digital inclusion and financial integration among them.
Prasad said, the policy aims to triple the contribution of the cooperative sector in GDP to 5 per cent by 2034 and enroll 50 crore members, strengthening the ideals of self-reliant India.
Prasad further said that computerization of 63,000 Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS) has revolutionized rural finance by streamlining transactions and reducing corruption.
“In the last four years, more than a hundred initiatives have modernized cooperative banks and societies, doubled deposits and enhanced efficiency,” he said.
Calling HM Amit Shah’s governance philosophy the “five P’s – People, Planet, Prosperity, Partnership and Peace”, Prasad said the Home Minister’s approach has transformed cooperatives into ethical and sustainable institutions.
Initiatives like Sahakar Rojgar Utsav have generated employment and innovation in rural India, he said.
Extending his warm wishes for his health and longevity, Prasad said, “Shri Amit Shah’s journey reflects his selfless service and unwavering dedication towards national integration.”
“He stands as the torchbearer of a cooperative renaissance that uplifts every Indian.” “Happy Birthday, Amit Shah ji! Jai Hind! Vande Mataram!” He concluded.
