CM Shri Bhupendra Patel Chaired the 64th Annual General Meeting of GUJCOMASOL

Gandhinagar, Aug 2025: At the 64th Annual General Meeting of GUJCOMASOL, Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel said that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of inclusive development has given a new direction to the cooperative sector. He noted that with this visionary approach, the Ministry of Cooperation was created for the first time after independence, and with Shri Amit Shah as its leader, the goal of _Sahkar se Samriddhi_ is being realised. Gujarat’s cooperative institutions, he proudly said, have set a remarkable example for the nation through the cooperative revolution.
 
Speaking about GUJCOMASOL, the CM described it as a leading institution whose objective is to ensure the timely supply of fertilisers, medicines, and seeds to farmers at fair prices through an efficient distribution system. Congratulating GUJCOMASOL for becoming a single-window solution for farmers, he noted that it has advanced the Prime Minister’s call for Atmanirbhar Bharat, Value Addition, Quality Products, and Vocal for Local, Local for Global by processing and branding farmers’ produce and taking it to global markets, bringing new vibrancy to the cooperative sector. He further said that in the past 11 years, 8 lakh cooperatives across 29 sectors have been managed efficiently under the Prime Minister’s guidance, while Shri Amit Shah’s leadership has strengthened the sector through major reforms. With institutions being computerised and modernised and about 1,500 APMCs linked to the e-National Agriculture Market, the Chief Minister conveyed confidence that the cooperative sector will play a key role in fulfilling the Prime Minister’s vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.
 
Speaking on the occasion, GUJCOMASOL Chairman Shri Dileep Sanghani said that as a result of decisive steps taken by the Government of India and the State Government for the cooperative sector, GUJCOMASOL now provides dividends of up to 20% to its members. He noted that while the organisation’s annual profit was once only ₹5 crore, today it pays ₹14 crore in income tax. He further added that under the guidance of CM, GUJCOMASOL will set up a processing unit in every district under the One District, One Crop concept. On the occasion, Gujarat Legislative Assembly Deputy Speaker Shri Jethabhai Bharwad, GUJCOMASOL Vice Chairman Shri Bipin Patel, and Gujarat State Cooperative Union Chairman Shri Ghanshyam Amin spoke about the growth of the cooperative sector under the guidance of the Prime Minister and Chief Minister, highlighting GUJCOMASOL’s achievements.
