Lok Sabha Greenlights Tribhuvan Sahkari University Bill to Boost Co-operative Sector

The Lok Sabha has passed a bill to establish the Tribhuvan Sahkari University in Gujarat, aimed at generating skilled professionals for co-operative societies. Named after cooperative leader Tribhuvandas Kishibhai Patel, the university aims to enhance manpower quality and capacity building within India's co-operative sector.

In a significant legislative move, the Lok Sabha has approved the establishment of Tribhuvan Sahkari University in Anand, Gujarat. The initiative aims to equip the co-operative sector with skilled manpower and address its training deficits.

Named after Tribhuvandas Kishibhai Patel, a key figure in India's cooperative movement and the founder of Amul, this institution is poised to resolve long-standing capacity-building issues through standardized education and research frameworks.

The university's inception comes as a response to the inadequacies of current training infrastructures in meeting the demand for qualified personnel within the sector, an issue addressed during the bill's debate by Cooperation Minister Amit Shah.
