Uniform National Cooperative Ecosystem

• Uniform National Cooperative Ecosystem is the Centre's policy push — anchored in the National Cooperative Policy (NCP), 2025 — to standardise registration, governance, digitisation and last-mile reach of cooperatives across States/UTs under the Ministry of Cooperation (created 06 July 2021).
• Operational thrust: roll out 2 lakh Multi-purpose PACS (M-PACS), Dairy & Fishery cooperative societies and onboard all societies onto the National Cooperative Database (NCD).
• Relevance for UPSC: intersects Part IX-B (97th CAA, 2011), State List Entry 32, the 2021 SC ruling in Union of India v. Rajendra Shah, and PM's "Sahkar se Samriddhi" agenda.
