About Us

  • Goa, the 25th State in the Union of India was liberated on 19th December 1961 from Portuguese. It was a part of Union Territory of Goa, Daman, and Diu till 30th May 1987 when it was framed a separate State.
  • The Cooperative Movement was launched in the erstwhile Union territory of Goa, Daman and Diu way back in the year 1962, for the upliftment of the downtrodden and weaker section of the Society. Soon, it spread over different aspect and sectors such as agriculture, credit, consumers, housing, dairy farming and other types of cooperative societies.
  • To cater to the needs of various cooperative societies and to have control over it, the State Government established the Department of Cooperation in the year 1962. The Department of Cooperation i.e. the office of Registrar of Cooperative Societies is the registering and controlling Authority of all the Cooperative Societies.
