 Robert Owen
Robert Owen (1771-1858) is considered the father of the co-
operative movement. Robert Owen’s ideas were effectively
implemented in the cotton mills of New Lanark, Scotland.
The first cooperative store was opened here. Encouraged by
its success, Robert Owen formed the “Rural Co-operative
Society”.

 Co-operative movement in the pre-
independence period
The term Co-operative Societies came into existence when the
farmers of Poona and Ahmednagar led the agitation against
moneylenders who charged exorbitant rates of interest.
Therefore, the British government came forward and passed 3
Acts namely Deccan Agriculture Relief Act (1879), Land
Improvement Loan Act (1883) and Agriculturist’s Loan Act
(1884).

 By the time the British Co-operative Credit Societies Act
came into force in 1904, the co-operative movement had
structure and form. Co-operation became a provincial matter
in 1919 and the provinces were empowered to make their own
co-operation laws under the Modegue-Chelmsford reforms.
This classification was enforced until the Government of
India Act of 1935. In 1942, the Government of British India
enacted the Multi-Unit Co-operative Societies Act to protect
co-operative societies with membership from more than one
province.
