Renowned cooperative scholar and a senior bureaucrat in Govt of India Dr. K. K. Tripathy has co-authored a significant new book that is expected to serve as an important guide for strengthening India’s cooperative movement through modern management practices while preserving its core cooperative values. A respected bureaucrat, academic and authority on cooperative governance, Dr. Tripathy has drawn upon his extensive administrative and sectoral experience to present a practical roadmap for making cooperatives more professionally managed, technology-driven, member-centric and globally competitive. The book bridges the gap between cooperative philosophy and contemporary management, offering actionable insights for policymakers, cooperative institutions, bankers, trainers, researchers and students. The authors argue that professional management and cooperative principles are not mutually exclusive but mutually reinforcing, making the book highly relevant for institutions seeking to improve governance, efficiency and member participation. It is expected to become an important reference for shaping the next phase of India’s cooperative development and advancing the national vision of “Sahkar Se Samriddhi.”
