Corporate201312 sections

This Act amends the Manipur Co-operative Societies Act, 1976 to improve how co-operative societies are managed. It updates definitions to clarify terms like "Board" and "Multi State Co-operative Society" while adding a requirement for the State Co-operative Union to provide education and training to members. The legislation changes how board members are elected, setting a five-year term limit and restricting individuals from serving more than three consecutive terms. It also mandates that boards reserve seats for women, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and small farmers to ensure better representation and fairness in governance.
