There is no commonly conventional definition of cooperation, in part because the term “cooperation” has different implications in various countries, that also gave rise to the co - operative movement, and in part even though cooperatives are either aided and prohibited by the state in a few nations or serve as state planning instruments in others. Rural agriculture and allied sectors in India are where the cooperative movement first began. During British administration in India, the first Co-operative Credit Society Act was enacted in 1904. Cooperative institutions were essential in India’s post-independence efforts to eradicate poverty and promote the socioeconomic advancement of landless and impoverished rural communities. The first Urban Cooperative Credit Association in India was established in the province of Madras in Kanjeevaram in October of 1904
