Good to see focus on cooperative movement. But I'm skeptical about the crime statistics - these numbers seem too good to be true. We need independent verification.

Interesting to see the cooperative model being promoted. In many countries, cooperatives have successfully empowered local communities. Hope this brings positive change to Rajasthan's rural economy.

The reduction in crimes against SC/ST communities and women is commendable if true. But we need to ensure these statistics reflect ground reality. Still, progress is progress! 👍

Wonderful to see women participating in these programs! When women are involved in cooperatives, entire communities benefit. This is a step in the right direction for women's economic empowerment.
