The Karnataka government is
contemplating amendments to the co-operative act to suit the needs of co-operative institutions and farmers, state Co- operation Minister S T Somashekar has said.
Addressing reporters here on Wednesday, he said a meeting of MLAs and department officials will be convened soon to discuss issues relating to the co-operative sector.
The complaints from the public that several facilities offered by the government were not reaching them have to be addressed, the minister said.
The proposed amendments will be a move in this direction.
He also indicated that an independent centralised appointment agency for common recruiting staff in all co- operative institutions in the state is being planned.
D Vedavyas Kamath and Bharath Y Shetty, MLAs, were also present.
