Sir, it has been said that the object of this Let me first welcome this Bill which, as Bill is to provide promotion, registration and the Statement of Objects and Reasons says, supervision to a Central authority, but it does tries to meet some cf the lacunae and the not speak anything about the promotional legal loopholes which are there. activities of the cooperative societies. Sir, the first cooperative society in the industrial In fact, as you know, more often coopera­ sector was founded by the Christian Socia­ tives all over the country are not in very lists. This society failed because there was good shape and one of the reasons why they no education of the workers in regard to the are not in very good shape is that there are benefits of the society. Secondly, they frauds in cooperatives which take place could not provide any good leadership to taking advantage of loopholes, lacunae and the organisation. Thirdly they could not inaccuracies in the laws that regulate them. appreciate that the society is their own. In In this context, when this Bill is brought in this regard I would like to mention about a here to plug these loopholes and to correct cooperative jute mill, the first in the country. the legal defects, it is definitely welcome. This is Silghat Cooperative Jute Mill which was established in my constituency twenty One point here is regarding consumer years back. This cooperative jute mill is cooperatives. The point regarding the help now under closure. The State Government and protection to the conuimers is included as well as the Government of India have in the 20-point Programme. When it is not yet taken any steps to reopen it and as a acknowledged all over the country by all result more than 1,500 workers have be­ sections that there should be protection to come unemployed. The situation whicfi was consumers and strengthening of the con­ being faced by the Christian Socialists, sumer movement, that will go a long way still exists in our country, because we do not in controlling the prices. Everybody says consider that the cooperative sector belongs that prices are going up. Prices are going to us. up not merely because of natural scarcities, but also because of the artificial scarcities which are created through the manipulation Secondly, we do not give adequate educa- of the traders and this manipulation of the tion 10 the workers.
