New website for Multi-State Cooperative Societies launched

Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh today launched a new website of Multi-State Cooperative Societies for providing all information related to societies.
Singh launched the portal (http:/mscs.Dac.Gov.In) for Multi State Cooperative Societies.
"This website would provide easy access of information relating to the status of the societies to the applicants as well as to the general public," an official statement said.
The new portal would facilitate access of information like status of applications, notices, orders, certificates issued to the societies and contact details of officers. It would also provide link to the websites of the offices of State Registrars of Cooperative Societies.

Subsequently, the website would be upgraded to inducting other web-enabled services for the applicants as well as for the registered societies.
The 'Office of Central Registrar of Cooperative Societies' functioning under the Agriculture Ministry handles the work of registration and management of multi-state cooperative societies.

The number of multi-state cooperative societies has crossed 1,400 on account of which it has become crucial to have a speedy mechanism for disposal of applications for registration/amendment, effective monitoring and record keeping.
At present, the Agriculture Ministry said the information like status of applications, copies of notices/orders and list of multi state cooperative societies is available on its web-site.

"However owing to manifold increase in the work related to multi-state cooperative societies, need for separate website for the multi-state cooperative societies was felt," the statement said.
