Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], December 31 (ANI): Highlighting the potential of the cooperative sector, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Friday said the capacity of the cooperative sector must be optimised in order to push development in the state.
Speaking at a conference of beneficiaries of Cooperation in which Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah participated here on Friday, Bommai said, "Mankind is standing on cooperation. SS Patil built the first cooperative in society in the State and started the cooperation movement. Since then this sector has grown as a big field."

There are several milestones in the history of Karnataka's cooperation field. In this regard, Apex bank, DCC Bank, Cooperative bank and KMF are the best models," the Chief Minister said.
