A two-day workshop on “leadership
development”, organised by the Sikkim State Cooperative
Union, was held at Rongli in East Sikkim recently. Over 25
managing committee members of various cooperative societies
attended the seminar.
“The main objective behind organising the training programme
was to inform the managing committee members about their roles
and responsibilities in leading the cooperative societies
and achieve success,” said Mr KN Pradhan, the chief
guest.
The trainee participants were taught about the role and responsibility
of managing committee members, qualities of a good leader,
implementation of business development plan, books of account
to be maintained by the cooperative societies, cooperative
law, its values and principles and cooperative management.
Highlighting the importance of cooperative movement in rural
areas, Mr Pradhan, said: “You all should adopt cooperative
society as a means to procure consumer items, marketing of
village produces. You should also adopt disbursement of loan
so that every members of cooperative society could benefit
and improve their socio-economic status.”
The participants called for more such training programmes
on a regular basis. “No doubt, we learnt a lot during
the two-day training programme. However, the programme should
have been longer. A time of two days was not enough for us
to learn everything,” said Mr Bhim Bahadur Gurung, one
of the participants.
“We have requested the authorities concerned to organise
more such programmes in future with more duration so that
we could learn more,” said Ms Mamta Subba, another participant.
The participants also took part in the open discussion session.
