Though cooperative organizations in India have been extensively used by the state as a tool for promoting rural transformation, they have generally not been successful. A major reason for the failure of cooperatives has been the inability of the state to create an environment conducive for people to cooperate. It is argued here that for rural development organizations in general, & cooperatives in particular, to be successful, the state must actively change the environment in a direction that would enable organizations to function in social as well as economic terms. 2 Figures, 45 References.
