Chptr-1.Co-operative Registration in India

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND 

During the early period of British rule the economic condition of the Indian villages was completely shattered.

Britain exploited India by exporting the rich raw materials of our country and importing the manufactured goods from England. Britishers made India a market of their finished product. as a result Indian industries had a set back and they gradually collapsed .
the people who were engaged in such industries had no other alternative but to fall back upon agriculture for their livelihood. this situation added the pressure on land. the Britishers did not pay attention to the problems of  the agriculturists. consequently it was a period of money lenders. they lend money at high rate of interest to the needy agriculturists. this situation increased their indebtedness the money lenders exploit agriculturists , which resulted in unrest among agriculturists
