TYPES OF COOPERATIVE SOCIETY

Single Purpose Cooperative Society

A Single Purpose Cooperative Society is a type of cooperative organization formed by individuals with a specific common goal or purpose. Unlike general-purpose cooperatives that serve a wide range of needs, a single-purpose cooperative focuses exclusively on a particular activity, product, or service.

Multi-purpose Cooperative Society

A Multi-purpose Cooperative Society is a group of people who come together to collectively achieve a specific goal or purpose, such as sharing resources, conducting a particular business activity, or providing a particular service, while benefiting all members involved.
