ABSTRACT

Modern form of Co-operative leave their origin in the tension and opportunities created by industrialization and urbanization in the nineteenth Century in Europe.
Much of the early interested in co-operative structure seemed from deep regards to the social consequence of industrial capitalism, critics of the new order not simply a framework for business organisation but also as a vehicle for the reutilization of radical social and political goals.
However, much concepts of c-operative have been erased the claims of earlier social prophets, a residual belief remains that co-operators are motivated by group interest as well as self interest, and that non-economic as well as economic objectives may be pursued.  Other of these propositions present difficulties through not inseparable one’s in terms of applying economic analysis to the study of applying economic analysis to the study of Co-operatives, it is pertinently imperative and a restrictive device of immense capacity that co-operative organisations have paid the way for the new economic and social order not only for those, ‘depressed’ in the economy who (mostly of less privileged) are at the receiving end, the logical and social justice, which they embody, but in our ability to translate them concretely and realistically from social theory into social fact and to make them effective in our daily live.
We must always remember that co-operative are organizations of by and for members therefore they are designed to respond to the needs of members.
Agricultural Co-operative has created for the economic charge, for increasing in food produce, for building a better or a more just and equitable society.  They serve to give individuals through voluntary co-operation and mutual assistance, control or bit of their destiny to make people in some way asters of their own fate, subjects and not objects of their history.  Co-operatives are of course pragmatic institution noted in reality of concerts goals.
