INVITATION Dear Sir / Madam, 4th National Conference of Sahakar Bharati will be held on Friday, 18th and Saturday, 19th January, 2013 at National College Ground, Basavangudi, Bangaluru. The Conference will start at 10.00 am on 18th January, 2013 and conclude by 6.30 pm on 19th January, 2013. Hon’ble Chief Minister of Ktaka, Shri Jagadish Shettar will be the Chief Guest on the occasion. Hon’ble Minister for Co Operation of Ktaka, Shri B J Puttaswamy will inaugurate the Exhibition in the evening at 5.30 pm on Thursday,17th January, 2013. He will address the delegates in the first Session on 18th January, 2013. The theme of the Conference is: Co Operatives for Resurgent India. There is a common perception that the original rationale of Co operatives has ebbed away. But in the post meltdown period, this view has been decisively proved to be wrong. In today’s world which is complex and globalizing, Co Operatives have a more meaningful role to play in furthering socio – economic development. With this in the background, the 2 days Programme has been chalked out with Keynote Address on Innovation & Entrepreneurship and the Main Speech on Formulation of policies for creating enabling Legal and Financial Environment. Special Speeches have also been planned on Impact of 97th Constitution Amendment, Impact of Direct Tax Code on Co Operatives, Impact of continuing Technological Upgradation and Financial Sector Reforms on Banks and Credit Societies, etc and Sectoral Sessions of Urban Co Op Banks, Primary Agricultural Societies (PACs), DCCs and SCBs, Dairy Co Ops, Credit Co Ops, Housing Co Ops, Self Help Group Promotional Institutions (SHPIs), etc. The following experts have kindly consented to address the delegates during the 2 days Conference : 1.
