ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF COOPERATION
(SHRI AMIT SHAH)
(a.) Yes Sir. The National Cooperative Database (NCD) has been developed by Ministry of
Cooperation, Government of India, with the support of States / UTs. The NCD portal was
launched on 08th March, 2024. This database was developed in three phases, and includes data
on parameters such as location, membership, economic activities, infrastructure of the
cooperatives, financial performance and Audit details of cooperatives. The National
Cooperative Database is accessible at https://cooperatives.gov.in.
(b.) The National Cooperative Database (NCD) provides a single-point access to information
on over 8.4 lakh cooperatives across the country, having approximately 31 crore membersacross 30 Sectors. As per NCD, the State/UT-wise total no. of Cooperative Societies is attached
as Annexure-1.
(c.) & (d.) Yes Sir. To ensure data accuracy and interoperability, the National Cooperative
Database (NCD) portal is integrated with various Government portals and digital platforms
such as Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Aushadhi Kendras (PMBJK) database of Ministry of
Chemicals and Fertilizers, Common Service Centres (CSC) database of Ministry of Electronics
and Information Technology (MeiTY), Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samruddhi Kendras (PMKSK)
database of Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, the Udyam Portal of the Ministry of Micro,
Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME) and Computerization of PACS (e-PACS) portal.
Further, to maintain accurate and updated data on cooperatives, the NCD portal is also being
integrated with Registrar of Cooperative Societies (RCSs) portals of all State/UTs through
APIs, enabling automatic data updates, synchronization, and efficient information
management. As of 01.03.2026, the States of Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Mizoram and
Dadra and Nagar Haveli & Daman and Diu have completed integration with the NCD portal.
(e) & (f.) The National Cooperative Database (NCD) can be used by policy makers, State
Governments and other stakeholders to strengthen the cooperative movement, particularly in
areas where societies are underperforming. The database is used for identification of gaps in
the geographical spread of cooperatives, including both covered and uncovered gram
panchayats across the country.
Using the National Cooperative Database (NCD), the Government launched the Cooperative
Ranking Framework on 24th January 2025 to assess and rank cooperatives, State / District /
Block-wise and sector-wise. The Registrar of Cooperative Societies (RCS) of State / UT can
generate the ranking of primary cooperative societies of 12 major sectors through the NCD
portal. This ranking system aims to enhance transparency, reliability, and competitiveness
among cooperative societies, ultimately fostering their growth.
