Cooperatives - Questions and Answers

|

As answered by Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar

Question: What should be the system of share distribution in co-operatives?

Answer: PROUT advocates the phase wise socialisation of agricultural land which should be managed by farmers co- operatives. In the initial phase of transition to co-operative management, land shares should be in the hands of those who are land holders. That is, initially the shares in agricultural or farmers co-operatives should be distributed on the basis of the land vested in the co-operative. When the co-operative system is fully implemented in the agriculture sector, there will not be any distinction between landholders and non-landholders, as all members of the co-operative will be collectively responsible for the management of the land. However, this stage can only be achieved after the proper psychological preparation of the people.

CONTAI BASIN PLANNING

by Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar

The Contai Basin is the area between the Rasulpor and Suvarnareka Rivers where they are about to merge in the Bay of Bengal. The Bengali name of Contai is Ka'nthi derived from the Sanskrit word kanthika'. The British changed Ka'nthi to Contai because to them Ka'nthi sounded similar to Kandi in Murshidabad district and Kanthi in Midnapore district.
