New Delhi [India], September 17: A Significant Global Achievement for the Indian Cooperative Movement with a Third-Place Victory
A Major Achievement for the International Cooperative Movement
A major global achievement for the Indian cooperative movement was recorded in the election held in Panama.
In a significant development for the international cooperative movement, IFFCO Chairman Shri Dileep Sanghani has been elected as a Director (At-Large Director) of the Global Board of Directors of the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA).
As soon as Shri Dileep Sanghani was declared the winner, a wave of enthusiasm and pride swept through the Indian cooperative delegation present in Panama. The members collectively raised the slogans of “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” and “Vande Mataram,” filling the entire auditorium with patriotic spirit.
The chants of “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” and “Vande Mataram” resonating on foreign soil reflected the growing stature and influence of India on the global cooperative platform.
The election, held during the ICA General Assembly in Panama City, marks a proud moment for India’s vast cooperative movement. This achievement further strengthens India’s growing role, influence and leadership in the global cooperative sector.
Shri Dileep Sanghani has been associated with the cooperative sector for several decades and has consistently worked towards the empowerment of farmers, the rural economy and cooperative institutions. He currently serves as the Chairman of IFFCO and GUJCOMASOL and has held important responsibilities in several national and international cooperative organisations.
The International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) is the world’s leading global cooperative organisation, representing cooperative institutions from different countries and regions. India’s representation on the ICA Global Board will further strengthen the voice of the Indian cooperative movement on the international platform.
Shri Sanghani’s victory also reflects the global recognition of India’s cooperative movement and the vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji of “Sahkar Se Samriddhi” (Prosperity through Cooperation). India is today presenting a new model of economic and social empowerment of farmers, rural communities and ordinary citizens through the cooperative movement.
Expressing his gratitude for the victory, Shri Dileep Sanghani thanked all ICA member countries, delegates and the global cooperative community. He said that he is committed to effectively presenting the spirit, experience and perspective of India’s cooperative movement on the global platform and to further strengthening cooperation across the world.
The election of Shri Dileep Sanghani to the ICA Global Board is a matter of pride for India, an honour for the Indian cooperative movement and an important symbol of India’s growing influence in the global cooperative sector.
