As earlier years, this year became odd as none of the programme worldwide is being marked instead of celebrating in a grand manner due to spread of pandemic coronavirus worldwide.
As various other events that were cancelled, the 63 National Cooperative Day also faced the same.
But, in a small way, marking the 63rd National Cooperative Day, the Cooperatives’ Coronavirus Control Center (CCCC) has been set up at Manmohan Memorial Hospital (MMH) in Lainchour-Thamel Road with coordination of National Cooperative Federation (NCF).
The center was inaugurated on Thursday by the Minister for Land Management, Cooperative and Poverty Alleviation Padma Kumari Aryal.
Minister Aryal also handed over various goods to the medical staff that needed during the coronavirus related activities at the center.
“With the beginning of this centre it has relayed message that corporative movement is supporting the nation during the country in crisis. So, it is the time we all citizens should be unified to manage the crisis,” said Minister Aryal.
“In an initial stage, the center was started with 2.5 million Nepalese rupees funded NCF and with the technical and administrative assistance of Manmohan Memorial Hospital,” informed senior vice president of the NCF and a Coordinator of CCCC Ms. Om Devi Malla and hoped that “the centre could sun smoothly in the days ahead.”
Every year on 20th of Chaitra Nepali calendar is being marked as national cooperative day remembering the establishment of “Bakhan Credit Cooperative” Nepal’s first cooperative established in 2013 B.S.
