 Executive Summary

Milk is considered to be one of the most sensitive agricultural commodities, requiring special
and timely care, and this can be provided conveniently as well through the collective operation of
milk producer cooperative society. The dairy cooperatives in Nepal have adopted a three-tier
system of which the milk producer cooperative societies are the first-tier primary level
cooperatives. In the second tier, they in different districts have formed district level District Milk
Producers’ Cooperative Unions, which are acting as district level bodies, and their main
objectives are to deliver programs designed to support the increased production and processing
of milk and milk products and to contribute to the financial and social upliftment of the rural
milk producers. The main function of these milk producer cooperative societies is to act milk
collection agents from both the members as well as non-members, selling to the nearest milk
chilling centers/milk processing plants dairy industries; receive payment for the milk from them;
and distribute the payment to the individual milk supplier farmers. Apart from milk collection
business some of they have also started the operation of milk chilling vats; and milk processing
for producing various dairy products.

The Cooperative Act, 2074 has firstly accepted the cooperative principles and provided a legal
base both for the establishment of cooperative societies, federations and application of
cooperative values, norms and principles into practice. The Cooperative Act, 2048, which is now
replaced by a new Cooperative Act, 2074 of the government governs milk producers’
cooperatives and other cooperatives, and cooperative associations. Presently, except a few, most
of the dairy cooperatives in Nepal are playing a limited role of collection and selling of raw milk
to either Dairy Development Corporation or private dairies. In this regard, the study was
designed to examine the effectives of associations and cooperatives of milk producers in the
broad framework of the provisions of Cooperative Act, 2074. The policy documents, secondary
data from National Dairy Development Board, Department of Cooperatives were used as
secondary sources of the data. A KAP survey was done for the collecting primary information
from the samples respondents in 10 sample districts. Altogether 565 farmers/members, 113
primary cooperatives, 8 district level milk cooperative unions, and 1 central level Central Dairy
Cooperatives Associations Nepal were observed through structured questionnaire. Further, the
Focus Group Discussions were conducted in each district to verify the findings of the Knowledge
Attitude Practices/household’s survey.

About 59.6% farmers and members have heard about the Cooperative Act, 2074. Moreover most
of the cooperative practitioners knew about the provisions of the Cooperative Act, 2048. The
respondents, who knew about the existing act, insisted that the existing act is not sufficient to
explain all the activities regarding establishment objectives of the Milk Producers’ Cooperatives,
quality and standard benchmarks, livestock grants, livestock insurance and medications, working
areas, etc. Almost 69% of the cooperatives are not formulating such policies. The role of
functional committees and the staffs are satisfactory. The record keeping and information system
is quite convectional but working properly. All Milk Producers’ Cooperatives are doing proper
auditing externally and internally at least one time in the year through Account Supervision
Committee and external auditors. In Nepalese cooperative society the practice of estimation
budget is done before the Annual General Assembly. Only 14.2% respondents experienced a
regular monitoring and controlling from concerned authorities.

Introduction
1.1 Background
The common need of milk producers is to obtain a fair price for their milk and this is fulfilled
through collective marketing. Milk is considered to be one of the most sensitive agricultural
commodities, requiring special and timely care, and this can be provided conveniently as well
through the collective operation of milk producer cooperative society (MPC). Apart from the
collection and marketing of milk, other services, such as dairy inputs, extension services,
veterinary health care, artificial-insemination services, provision of animal feed, fodder seed,
planting material, fertilizers and credit, and training and education, are provided through
cooperatives. These would act as business associations owned and operated by members for their
entire benefit. The main constraint that milk producers seek to overcome by acting collectively is
the marketing of their product. The need to be assured of a secure market is a real one. It can be
met by dairy farmer’s cooperatives by establishing their own collection system and milk
treatment facility in order to convert their perishable primary produce, which requires special and
timely attention into products with longer-keeping quality for marketing purposes.

History of dairy cooperatives in Nepal dates back to the First Five Year Plan (1956-61) when the
dairy cooperatives were formed in Tusal Village of Kavre district. However, the dairy
cooperatives became more effective only after December 1981, when Dairy Development
Corporation (DDC) initiated the milk producers oriented program by encouraging the farmers to
form their own Milk Producers’ Associations (MPAs) along with the lines of cooperative
principles. The MPAs operated under the by-laws prepared by DDC. They had no formal legal
status. They operated as single purpose primary cooperatives with milk trade and support to milk
production as their main activities.

In order to enable the MPAs with the formal legal identity and to make them more autonomous,
DDC took initiation to convert these MPAs into MPC in February 1989. For this, it encouraged
and facilitated to register these MPAs in the Cooperative Office of Government of Nepal (GoN).
Like the MPAs, majority of MPCs also operate as single purpose primary cooperatives. The
main function of these MPCs is to collect milk from the farmers (both the members as well as
non-members), test it for quality, transport it for selling to the nearest milk chilling centers/milk
processing plants of DDC and/or private dairies; receive payment for the milk from them; and
distribute the payment to the individual milk supplier farmers. Apart from milk collection
business some of the MPCs have also started the operation of milk chilling vats; and milk
processing for producing various dairy products. According to the available information, there
were 1,658 MPCs all over the country in July 2017 (www.deoc.gov.np).

The Cooperative Act, 1992 (2048 B.S) was a major breakthrough in the cooperative movement
of Nepal. This made several provisions related with flexibility to implement programs for
improvement of economic condition of poorest of the poor populace in the rural areas. The act
provided an opportunity to the Nepalese people to establish independent and autonomous
cooperative societies by themselves, according to their capacity to fulfill their own needs. The
Cooperative Act 1992 A.D had firstly accepted the cooperative principles and provided a legal
base both for the establishment of cooperative societies, federations and application of
cooperative values, norms and principles into practice. The Constitution of Nepal, 2015 has

“Study on the Milk Producers' Cooperatives with special reference to Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of Cooperative Management" Page 1
considered cooperative sector as one of the three pillars 1 for national development. The
Cooperative Act, 1992, which is now replaced by a new Cooperative Act, 2017 of the
government that governs these MPCs other cooperatives, and cooperative associations.

A milk cooperative is established by milk producers or smallholder farmers with a mission to

efficiently deliver the highest quality milk to the market, based on reasonable or faire price
allocated to the rural farmers. A milk cooperative business is owned, operated, and controlled by
the dairy farmers who benefit from its services. Members finance the cooperative and share in
profits it earns in proportion to the volume of milk they market through the cooperative.

A fundamental role of dairy cooperatives is guaranteeing members a market for their milk. Milk
producers align with their cooperatives, making them their primary marketing agent for the raw
milk from ground level. Members then ship all the milk they produce to the cooperative which
finds a market for that volume.

At present, 1,658 MPCs are working in 58 districts of the country that have 1,653 Board members
elected out of 105,893 general members. They are supported with 1,651 staff/personnel (Table 1.1). The
total investment in the sector is more than Rs 822,050,000 throughout the country (Table 1.2).

The dairy cooperatives in Nepal have adopted a three-tier system of which the MPCs are the
first-tier primary level cooperatives. In the second tier, MPCSs in different districts have formed
district level DMPCUs, which are registered under Cooperative Act as district level bodies, and
their main objectives are to deliver programs designed to support the increased production and
processing of milk and milk products and to contribute to the financial and social uplift of the
rural milk producers. Only dairy farmers are allowed to enroll as members and they must commit
to supplying milk exclusively to the cooperative. While the day-to-day functioning of the
cooperative is managed by full-time salaried employees, the committee or board of the
cooperative, consisting of only elected members, makes the decisions on the affairs of the
cooperative. Primary-level cooperatives bring together members with similar interests at village
level to work towards common goals. This system can also identify good leadership talent that
would be given a chance to develop through interaction with other community leaders.

In the third tier, the MPCs and DMPCUs have formed CDCAN. The CDCAN is registered as
their central-level cooperative organization. Established in 1993, CDCAN is a national level
tertiary organization of all milk producers' cooperatives at primary and secondary levels.
CDCAN aims to bring increased economic benefits to milk producers and to contribute to make
the country self-reliant in clean and high-quality milk and related products. It also implements
policy advocacy activities at the central level to represent the interest of member organizations.
The federation has the power to act on such issues as pricing policies, extension, training, control
of milk and milk product imports, subsidies and credit.

The MPCs have become one of the major actors in the present day dairy sector of Nepal by being
a strong channel between the rural milk producers and the milk processing industries. However,
majority of the present MPCs is found to be operating in a condition of disarray. The available
information shows that the MPCs have not been able to generate enough capital bases for
providing real support to their member milk producers and have become agents between the milk
producers and the milk processing industries. Presently, except a few, most of the MPCs in
Nepal are playing a limited role of collection and sale of unprocessed milk to either DDC or
private dairies. In this regard, the study is done to examine the effectiveness of the policy
provisions, ground reality of the MPCs and the district and central level realities of the problem.

1.2 Study Objectives

As envisioned in the “Term of Reference (ToR)” for the assignment, the study was conducted to
accomplish the following specific objectives:
 To examine the knowledge of the office bearers and the members of the MPCs about the
provisions of the Cooperative Act, 2017;
 To explore the attitudes of the office bearers and the members of the MPCSs about the
provisions of the Cooperative Act;

“Study on the Milk Producers' Cooperatives with special reference to Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of Cooperative Management" Page 3
 To examine the implementation of provisions of Cooperative Act in the operation and
management of the MPCs;
 To find out the gaps in knowledge, attitude and practice of legal provisions in the operation
and management of the MPCs; and
 To suggest appropriate measures to improve the knowledge, attitude and practice of the
MPCs' office bearers and members about the legal provisions of the Cooperative Act.

1.3 Scope of the study

The study was abided with the knowledge, attitude and practice of cooperative operation and
management by the office bearers and members of MPCs. In this context, the following were the
main areas/subjects of investigation:
 Information about the roles and responsibilities of primary, district, and the national level
dairy cooperatives/cooperative associations (MPCs, District Milk Producers’ Cooperatives
Union (DMPCU), and Center Diary Cooperative Association Nepal (CDCAN) etc.)
 MPCs and the cooperative principles
 Policies, by-laws and internal working procedures of CDCAN, DMPCU, and MPCs.
 Eligibility criteria for the membership of CDCAN, DMPCU, and MPCs; and their rights and
obligations
 General assembly process, executive committee formation process; duties and powers of the
general assembly and executives; election procedures; and dissolution of executive
committee
 Cooperative funds, financial and other resources mobilization
 Rights and obligations of the Account Supervision Committees
 The book keeping system, the provisions of the regular control system such as internal and
external auditing, transparency and information dissemination system
 Tenure of members and officials and their termination provisions
 Physical facilities available in the Cooperatives
 Unification and disintegration of Cooperatives
 Cooperative supervision and monitoring

1.4 Methodology

1.4.1 Selection of districts and MPCs

Out of 58 districts (population) having functional MPCs, 10 districts (sample) were selected for
the study. They represent all seven provinces of the country; Ilam district in province 1; Sarlahi
in province 2; Kavre, Makwanpur and Chiitwan in province 3; Tanahu in Gandaki province;
Rupandehiand Dang in province 5; Surkhet in Karnali province; and Kailali district in Sudur
Paschim province (Figure 1: Map showing sample districts). As per the TOR these districts were
selected on the basis of number of MPCs actively functioning within the province.

The sample districts number of adequate number of MPCS and each MPC has significant
number of male Executive Committee members as well as general members. The MPCs in
selected districts are also reported to have representation of both males and females (Table 1.3)

Altogether 113 MPCs were selected from 10 districts (Table 1.5). Since there are only one
CDCAN, and only one DMPCU per district, all CDCANs and DMPCUs were covered.
However, Kailali and Dang districts do not have DMPCU. Similarly, the number of milk
producing farmers and cooperative members sampled amounted to a total of 565.

This sample size was finalized during discussion held on inception between the technical team of
the client i.e. National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) and consulting team of the study.

Systematic Random Sampling (SRS) technique was adopted to allocate MPCs and MPF/CM n
sample districts. For this, number of milk cooperatives in each district was listed. From this list,
milk cooperatives to be included in the study were selected. After the milk cooperatives were
selected, number of milk supplying farmers or members of MPCs from these cooperatives were
listed. From this list, required number of farmer samples was derived. However, consideration
were also given to select the higher, medium and lower quantity supplying milk cooperatives and
farmers as well. The survey was made representative as far as possible by including all the strata
of the observation such as age of establishment, number of members in MPCs and level of milk
collection (Annex B). This is further elaborated in survey guidelines (Annex C) that was used
during the survey. The sampled cooperatives are illustrated with address, contact person, and
contact numbers (Annex D).

1.4.2 Data collection methods/tools

For the collection of the primary data, a survey guideline was prepared and followed. Desk
study, field survey, consultation with relevant government officials, observation of the MPCs'
operation had used to undertake the assignment. Secondary data collected from the published and
unpublished reports of Cooperative Development Board, National Cooperative Federation of
Nepal, NDDB, CDCAN, concerned DMPCUs, MPCs, etc. were reviewed. The following
primary sources of information collection were used to solicit Knowledge, Attitude and Practices
(KAP) of the members associated with the sample MPCs in each of 10 sample districts.

Farm Household Survey: Altogether 565 farm households were covered (5 per MPC) to
administer the structured questionnaires with. They were chosen in consultation with DMPCU. A
list of MPCs was made to select a total 135 MPCs and 565 MPFs/CMs. Separate structured
questionnaires were used for them (Annexes C: Survey Guideline in Nepali language).Trained
enumerators were mobilized to administer the questionnaires. The list of the cooperatives
surveyed is presented in the Annex D.

“Study on the Milk Producers' Cooperatives with special reference to Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of Cooperative Management" Page 6
Focus Group Discussions (FGDs): The FGDs were organized at eight centers with the
participation of all concerned stakeholders. About 10-12 persons represented from institutions,
cooperatives, CDCAN, DMPCU, MPCs, milk producers associations, farmers associations,
private sector input suppliers and milk collectors etc. participated in FGDs. Semi-structured
checklists (Annex C: Survey Guideline in Nepali Language) translated into Nepali were
administered during the FGD sessions that were moderated by Field Supervisors with assistance
from trained enumerators. The information on MPCs with special reference to Knowledge,
Attitude and Practice (KAP) of Cooperative Management was sough with special focus on the
provisions of Cooperative Act, 2017.

1.4.3 Data management and analysis

Raw data collected from the field were entered in Excel in order to systematize data processing.
The crude data were processed and analyzed by using SPSS software. Cleaned and labeled data
in Microsoft Excel format were prepared. From the data set, required tables are prepared in the
Microsoft Word format for analysis and interpretation. Various policy analysis and
recommendations are made with the findings of the study for the strategic development of the
milk cooperative; strengthen existing and potential dairy cooperative, practitioners and dairy
farmers. A separate analysis section has been made in study report for each components of KAP
in each tier of the milk producer cooperatives and associations.

The study follows the KAP methodology that is an opinion based qualitative survey. Therefore
the nature of the data is strongly verbal and qualitative.
Understanding of KAP
K: Knowledge is a set of understandings, knowledge and of “concern issues such as Problematic
Cooperatives” It is also one’s, capacity for imagining, one’s way of perceiving. Knowledge of a
Cooperative Management considered to be beneficial. However, this does not automatically
mean that this behavior will be followed.

A: Attitude is a way of being a position. These are leanings or “tendencies to….”. This is an
intermediate variable between the situation and the response to this situation. It helps explain
that among the possible practices for a subject submitted to a stimulus, that subject adopts one
practice and not another.

P: Practices or behaviors are the observable actions of an individual in response to a stimulus.

This is something that deals with the concrete results with actions. For practices related to
MPCs, one collects information on governance, internal control system, management practices,
policy provisions, etc.

KAP survey data are essential to help plan, implement and evaluate MPCs’ operations by
gathering information about what the cooperative office bearers and general members know
about operating and managing MPSs. The KAP survey can identify knowledge gaps, cultural
beliefs, or behavioral patterns that may facilitate understanding and action, as well as pose
problems or create barriers for making efforts to improve the operations of the MPSs. It can
identify information that is commonly known and attitudes that are commonly held. A KAP

“Study on the Milk Producers' Cooperatives with special reference to Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of Cooperative Management" Page 7
survey is also used to identify needs, problems and barriers in MPs movement, as well as
solutions for improving quality and accessibility of MPCs' services.

The percentage, frequency counts, and the rating in linker scale chart are used to analyze such
qualitative data.

1.5 Limitation of the study

Generating KAP data was difficult to get from farmer level due to the lack of adequate
knowledge and awareness of respondents in the rural areas. In some districts, inconsistencies
were observed in information generated from FGDs and farm household surveys; particularly
those related to practices of existing act. This was resolved by further probing with the local
knowledgeable persons. Largely, heads of the MPCs such as Chairpersons or Managers were
interviewed during KAP survey. In the absence of them, knowledgeable members were
approached for interview.

Presentation and Analysis of KAP Survey
2.1 Cooperative Act and Regulation
The assessment of the awareness/knowledge of the officials and the milk producing cooperative
practitioners regarding the Cooperative Act, 2074 is based on the results of two separate
questionnaires, one was related to officials of the MPCs and another the separate two questions
were asked. On the questions “to what extent the Cooperative Act, 2074 is capable to regulate
and promote the milk producer cooperative in root, district and central level”, 59.3% of
cooperative officials unaware of the provisions. Only 16.8% expressed that the act is
contributing positively to promote the MPCs (Table 2.1).

On the other spectrum, 40.4% of farmers and members of MPCs said they had even not heard of
Cooperative Act, 2074 (Table 2.1). The survey results adequately suggest that all the
practitioners including general and executive members of MPCs are not fully aware of the
Cooperative Act, 2074 that necessitates more efforts on information dissemination in the future.

Yes: Comparatively, it is far clear than previous cooperative act, the provision of the unification,
and separation of the cooperative, provision of the power shifting toward the province and local
level for the cooperative promotion and development, etc. are the key factors of the existing act.
No: not any separate provision of MPCs, mostly focused for Saving and Credit Cooperatives, the
act is silent regarding the various provisions so it is required to build the bylaws and procedures
to clarify various provisions of the existing law further.
Attitude Assessment: What would be the better for?
Separate MPCs bylaw is required, Separate Model Milk Producer Cooperative Act should be
provided by the Department of Cooperative for Province and Local Level authorities. A clear
milk and livestock grants provisions should be kept in new bylaws and procedures. Provision for
the grants in milk productions should be made to authorize by the local government, etc.
Program for the capacity building for marginalized farmers are made through the milk producing
cooperatives.
Practice: Is the gap between current practice and legal and other standard provision?
Generally, the legal formalities are looked after by the annual auditors and the legal advisors in
every organization; therefore, from the field observation, most of the cooperative practitioners
accepted and showed their faith on the provision of existing acts and rules.

The roles of the regulators are highly desirable for the implementation and information
dissemination of existing rules and regulations inside the cooperatives. Regarding this an
attitudinal questioner such as to what extent do you think the cooperative regulators are
performing for the progressive development, and regulation of the sector? was asked. The
attitude of public toward the quality of service delivery is not satisfactory since, only 4.4%
officials and 5.1% farmers were adequately satisfied. The district wise satisfaction scores are

presented in the table 2.2. Moreover, the statistics regarding the DMPCUs are presented in Table
18 of Annex B.
2.2Establishment and registration of MPCs
During the initial phase of dairy cooperative development, the DDC took an initiation to
establish the cooperatives in various parts of rural village of Nepal. Establishment of Milk
Cooperatives in primary level is done with the ground necessity of the milk farmers for selling of
their raw milk. The legal provisions for the establishment of the cooperatives are presented
below.

2.2.1 Legal Provision for the MPCs Establishment

The cooperative act, 2074 is governing the establishment and registration process of the
cooperatives in Nepal. The section 2ndof the cooperative act, 2074 has made following provision
for the establishment and registration process.
 An association or society may be formed and incorporated as cooperative that has a view to
rendering services and facilities for the economic and social development of its members in
consonance with the cooperative principle.
 A preliminary association, cooperative must consist of at least thirty people or shareholders
as its members excluding persons from same house.
 A sectorial society must consist of at least fifteen people or shareholders as its members
excluding persons from same house.
 A subjective district cooperatives union must consist at least 11 cooperative societies (but it
can be at least 6 cooperatives in districts declared as remote area) as its members.
 A district cooperatives union must consist at least 15 cooperative societies and/or district
subjective cooperative union (but at least 7 cooperatives in districts declared as remote area)
as its members.
 A province cooperatives union must consist at least 25 cooperative societies and/or district
cooperative union from different 5 districts (but it should include at least 50% district
cooperative unions) as its members.
 A central cooperatives union must consist at least 51 cooperative societies and/or district
cooperative unions from different 7 districts (but it should include at least 50% district
cooperative unions) as its members.
 There will be only one district, province, and central level cooperative union in entire or per
section.
 Application for the registration shall be done with according to the asked format through the
authorized register in division cooperative office of municipal or province level. Following
documents should be submitted:
i) Proposed Article of Association of the Cooperative Society/Union
ii) Feasibility Study Report as per suggested by the registrar office
iii) Share price and the paid up proof of share amount by the members
iv) Other documents such as citizenship copy, members meeting minutes, and other asked
documents by the register office.
 Registration decision should be given within 30 days of filling of registration application if
register officer found that the registering compliances are fulfilled, the members have agreed
to follow the cooperative principal, the adequate base of cooperative acting as the community
based organization, etc. If necessary process has lacked the required formalities and

“Study on the Milk Producers' Cooperatives with special reference to Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of Cooperative Ma nagement" Page 12
 documents, within 15 days, stating the required formalities, office of register shall request to
fill the application again to the applicants.
 Cooperative society is legal entity with limited liabilities, separate common seal, acting as a
natural personal while doing the business and financial transactions.
 Working area for the milk cooperative shall be within one municipal area but can be
increased with required increase in volume and scope of business activities.

2.2.2 Registration of the cooperatives

The KAP assessment for the establishment and registration of cooperative were done for the
cooperative practitioners. They were asked: do you know how to establish and where to register
the MPCs? The practitioners were aware regarding most of the conditions related to MPC
registration. But, around 16% did not know how to establish the cooperative, and 11.5% did not
know where to register the cooperative (Table 2.4). Mostly, the chairpersons and the educated
managers are aware about the procedures and formalities of establishment and the registration of
the cooperative, but some few managers who joined MPCS recently were not aware regarding
the facts.

Furthermore, sampled cooperatives were observed whether they were properly registered in
concerned offices or not, regarding this all 100% cooperatives are registered in Division
Cooperative Office (DCO) and Tax office (PAN). But, majority of the MPCs are not registered
in municipal office. The table 2.5 shows the further statistics regarding the percent and number
of Cooperative registered in various authorities/associations.

2.3 Cooperative Principles

The co-operative principles are guidelines by which co-operatives put their values into practice.
According to International Cooperative Alliance (ICA), basic principles of cooperative are:
Voluntary and Open Membership, Democratic Member Control, Member Economic

“Study on the Milk Producers' Cooperatives with special reference to Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of Cooperative Ma nagement" Page 13
Participation, Autonomy and Independence, Education, Training, and Information, Co-operation
among Co-operatives, and finally, Concern for Community.

Banks, etc.

The inherent institutional structures and legal provisions have made a vibrant environment for
adopting the cooperative principles in the operational stream of the cooperatives. Regarding this,
the Knowledge assessment was done for the officials and the members of the cooperative by
asking question as “do you know the cooperative principles?” The survey statistics are presented
in the table 2.6. About 77.9% officials are aware about the cooperative principles, but 43.9%
farmers or members lack the knowledge about the cooperative principles. Moreover, the
respondent from DMPCU answers that they all know the cooperative principles and the 100%
DMPCUs are adopting the cooperative principles. Moreover, the DMPCU offices of Chitwan
and Makawanpur have written the seven cooperative principles in their offices boards.

2.4 Cooperative Membership
Members of a co-operative are individuals (natural persons) or cooperatives (for district and
central level cooperative unions) who are users of a co-operative’s services or participate in its
business enterprise as consumers, workers, producers or independent business owners. Members
are also the co-operative’s stakeholders, co-owners and co-decision makers with authority over
major business decisions. Open membership to all persons implies that there should not be a high
threshold to become a member. Generally a member’s share in a co-operative is set at a nominal
rate, although members may also be encouraged to make a contribution to the co-operative’s
capital. Membership shares which provide equity capital tend to be much higher to finance
business operations in producer or worker co-operatives. However, if the share capital required
to become a member is set at a high level, it may be a barrier to people joining a co-operative.
Where significant share capital is necessarily required from new members, arrangements for
payment over time, such as installment payments, or credit facilities from an associated co-
operative bank or credit union, should be made available.

2.4.1 Legal Provision regarding membership

According to the cooperative act 2074, a person needs to fulfill the following conditions to attain
membership:
 Only person who is living within the working area of the cooperative with age limit of above
16 years.
 Person/entity allotted or brought at least one share of the cooperative.
 All members should accept the cooperative principles, the rules and regulation stated by the
article of association.
 All members should accept the responsibility of the cooperative.
 No members are allowed to do the individual business that is same or competitive with the
cooperative business.
 No person is allowed to be member of more than one cooperative with similar nature.

Subjective Cooperative Societies are the members of Subjective district level union, all
cooperative societies and the subjective unions are members of district level cooperative union;
however it should be only within district for.

Subjective Cooperative Societies, district level subjective unions are the members of Subjective
province level Union, all cooperative societies and the subjective unions are members of
province level cooperative union; however it should be only within province.

Subjective Cooperative Societies, district level subjective unions, province level subjective
unions are the members of subjective central level cooperative federation, all cooperative
societies and the subjective unions are members of central level cooperative federation.

2.4.2Membership Qualification
The assessment of the awareness/knowledge of the officials and the milk producing cooperative
practitioner, regarding the qualification requirement for the establishment of the MPCs, two

“Study on the Milk Producers' Cooperatives with special reference to Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of Cooperative Ma nagement" Page 15
questions were asked. First question was “how many members are required to establish an
MPC? The second question was “what are the qualifications required to be a member of an
MPC? Regarding this, most of the practitioners were familiar with the provision of Cooperative
Act, 2048, i.e. the required number is at least 25 members. But, existing act requires 30 members
in primary cooperatives.

Furthermore, district wise statistics on answers to the first question are shown in Table 2.7, and
same on second question are presented in Table 2.8. The average size of membership in MPCs is
191. Only three cooperatives under survey had 25 members. In this case, existing act also has
agreed to accept the provisions of the cooperative act, 2048 for those cooperatives which were
already established and in operation before the amendment of the existing act. Moreover, the
majority of the respondent agrees that the only milk producing or cattle farming farmers should
be allowed to be the member of the MPC.

Source: Field Survey, 2075; other implies the respondent answering the provisions of the cooperative act.

The attitudinal questions as: how many members are appropriate for the MPC was asked. Most
of the respondent answers it is ok to have the number required by the existing act but in case of
large area covering cooperative, the economies of scale can be created and the efficiency of the

“Study on the Milk Producers' Cooperatives with special reference to Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of Cooperative Ma nagement" Page 16
cooperative will be increased with the activities increments. So, for the MPC, it is better to make
more members as possible.
2.4.3 Under-qualified members
The assessment of practices of the officials and the milk producing cooperative practitioners,
regarding the members violating the cooperative rules and principles in the MPCs, various
questions were asked. Answers to the questions “Whether any members doing dairy business
competing with the underlying cooperative or not” are documented in Table 2.9. , “Do all the
members producing the milk or doing cattle/buffalo farming or not”?, do all the executive
committee, and other functional committees members doing cattle farming or not?.

The table 2.10 shows that at least 14.8% of the MPC members are not doing milk producing
business. Similarly, Table 2.11 shows that 23% of the cooperative executive and account
supervision committee are not doing the cattle or buffalo farming for the milk production
purpose.

Members not doing primary business of the cooperatives and those are in account functional
committees members shows a potential threat of conflict of interest between the milk producing
farmers. For some case and time, some members might have recently left the milk producing
professions, some members might be there for supporting in institutional capacity building, but
primarily, it is not good practice to be cooperative members and the functional committee
members in MPCs, if they are not doing milk producing activities.

Moreover, Table 2.13 shows the gender based female composition in executive committee and
the account supervision committee of the cooperative. The inclusion of female members is more
than 33%, but in executive and account supervision committees the ratio is less than 33%. The
inclusion of female and other disadvantaged group needs to be promoted and for the balance
development approach. Moreover, the statistics regarding the DMPCUs are presented in Table

Though the surveyed MPCs are the member of the DMPCU and CDCAN, some of the officials
say that they are not aware about the qualifications required to be the members in such
associations. The detail statistics are presented in Table 2.14. Similarly, all the surveyed MPCs
officials are also not clear about the role of such cooperative associations. The detail statistics are
presented in Table 2.15.

2.5 Rights and Duties of Members

Respondent were asked whether they knew the rights and duties of a cooperative member.
Similarly, they were asked whether they exercised their rights and responsibilities. The statistics
are illustrated in Tables 2.16 and 2.17. The MPCs officials think that 33.6% members were not
aware about the rights and responsibilities whereas 25.7% members did not performed well there
rights and duties properly in the cooperative. Furthermore, the respondents of DMPCUs were
aware about the right and duties of the cooperative members.

2.6 Institutional Membership

The membership from other similar institution such as agriculture cooperatives, veterinary
cooperatives, feeding factory cooperatives, etc. shall leverage the performance of the primary
cooperative such as MPCs in root level. Similarly, many cooperatives are investing their shares
in such backward and forward linkage value chain activities. For backward linkage, they are
investing in feeding factory, for forward linkage, they are investing in milk power plant, for
vertical linkage, they are investing in DMPCU and CDCAN as active members. The statistics
regarding the cooperative shareholding by other cooperative/institution is illustrated in Table
2.18 and the statistics illustrated in Table 2.19 represents the shareholding in other cooperatives
and institution. The statistics show the around 41.6% cooperatives are investing in various
institutions as shareholders.

2.7 Policy and Procedures

Policies are statements that provide clear guidance as to the actions required, the practices to be
followed and the standards of behavior expected by persons within an organization. Policies may
be formulated directly by the membership, usually incorporated within the rules or constitution
of the cooperative or be agreed by the board of directors on the behalf of the members. The
Cooperative Act, 2074 suggested to incorporate the additional policy documents as pre the
requirements of the particular MPC. Table 2.20 shows the district wise and whole statistics of
legal and policy documents formulation practices done by the MPCs. The table shows that on an
average 4.4% MPCs lack the registered certificates too. Moreover, 93.5% MPCs have article of
association, and 38.1% MPCs have business plans. The legal requirement demands compulsory
of registration documents, and article of association. But few MPCs lack such required
documents due to the damage, miss placed, or loss. But, strong majority of MPCs lacks the
policies and procedures documents. Only 37.5% DMPCUs have required policy documents
(Table 20, Annex B).

2.8 General Assembly

The organizational structure of the MPCs follows the conventional modal outlined by the
Cooperative Act, 2074. The Apex body is general assembly (GA) and the functional discharges
are carried out by executive committee in policy level, and managers, staffs, etc. in action level.
The GA is primarily a shareholders meeting which is held in three different conditions. The first
GA is initial general meeting (IGA), which is carried out within the 3 month of registration of the
cooperatives. Next, the annual general meeting (AGM) should be conducted within six months
of completion of the each fiscal year annually. The Table 2.21 shows that almost 89% of the
MPCs are doing there AGM annually. During the field observation, 100% sampled MPCs of the
districts such as Chitwan, Rupandehi, Tanahu, and Kilali have done AGM regularly but at least
50% of the sampled cooperatives of the Surkhet, and 40% of the sampled cooperative of the
Dang have not doing AGM annually. Moreover, all sampled DMPCU have done AGM regularly
within the 6 months- period of the completion of each fiscal year.

Similarly, special general meeting shall be called by cooperative register in the case of violation
of cooperative principle, cooperative rules and regulations, circulations and orders of the
authorities. In this case, AGM should be done with in the 35 days of circulation given by the
cooperative authorities (Cooperative Act, 2074). From the field observation, the practices of the
special general meetings are not seen in both MPCs and the DMPCUs.

The knowledge assessment of the procedures and orientation of the last AGM were asked to the
MPCs and CMs respondent respectively and the statistics are presented in the Table 2.22. The
Table shows the 86.7% of the MPCs officials are aware about the procedures and the 88.7%
members and farmers were aware about the last AGM date. The result implies that the AGM
procedures are conducted properly and the procedures are recognized promptly by the
cooperative members and farmers. Similarly, the same assessment was done to the officials of
the DMPCUs and the result shows all respondents were well aware about the procedures of the
AGM.

The cooperative bylaws that govern a cooperative, along with its jurisdiction, and articles of
association, contain the rules governing an AGM. The AGM procedures are started with the
executive committee decision of the AGM date which is generally done after receiving the
annual audit report from the external auditor. Then the members and farmers are sent the notice
regarding the AGM date and venue. The 88.3% respondent CMs and farmers said that they were

“Study on the Milk Producers' Cooperatives with special reference to Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of Cooperative Ma nagement" Page 25
informed through a formal letter regarding the AGM date, time and place. Moreover, MPCs and
DMPCUs’ respondents are informed about the AGM through formal letter in most of the case.
But, other mediums are also used to send the notice for it. Table 2.23 shows the further statistics
of the AGM notice. Moreover, observation also shows that the CMs were informed about the
AGM mostly 30 days before the AGM but minimum of 15 days to maximum of 2 months. But
the 100% DMPCUs and CDCAN members are informed through letter and phone 1 month
before the AGM date.

The Cooperative Act, 2074 says that all the cooperative members are eligible member to be the
participants and the voters of the AGM. But in some case, the non-members but farmers also
participated in the AGM. Tables 2.24 and 2.25 show the gender wise member representation in
AGM of the MPCs. The Table shows in majority of districts’ MPCs are allowing the non-
members milk supplier farmers in the AGM. But, few 2.9% respondents insisted that only
executive members were allowed to participate in AGM.

In most of the cases, AGM participants were given the copy of AGM agendas and the audit
report along with the letters. In most jurisdictions, the following agendas must be discussed at an
AGM:
 Minutes of previous meeting: The minutes of the previous year's AGM must be presented
and approved.
 Financial statements: The MPCs presents its previous year annual audit report and current
annual proposed budget to its members for approval.
 Distribution of dividends: This often includes the decision of the payment of a dividend.
 Election of the executive committees and the account supervision committees: The
shareholders elect the board of directors for the upcoming year.
 Additional elements of an AGM: The members may use an AGM as an opportunity to
express their concerns.

An AGM or annual shareholders/members meeting, is primarily held to allow all cooperative

members to vote on the selection of the functional committees such as executive committees,
account supervision committee, etc. But only 8.8% of the functional committee’s members are
selected through election and in most of the cases they are selected through the consensus among
the stakeholders and the members of the cooperatives. In DMPCU assessment, except in
Makawanpur, all DMPCUs selected the functional committees’ members through consensus
recently.

The KAP assessment of the AGM shows that the member’s participation in AGM is highly
representative. In some of case, milk supplying farmers other than members are also presented in
the AGM, but the functional committees such as executive committee, account supervision
committee, etc. is selected on the basis of consensus. Moreover, the respondent asked to select
such committees through consensus rather than through election since the election process
divides the cooperative members politically and the conflict among the stakeholders goes hostile
throughout the governing period of the committees.

2.9: Executive Committee

An executive committee in a cooperative is a group of individuals elected to represent the
members of the cooperative. The committee is formed by AGM mostly in consensus among the
stakeholders. The committee’s mandate is to establish policies for management and oversight,
making decisions on major issues. Moreover, it is a group of people who jointly supervise the
activities of the cooperatives. Such a board's powers, duties, and responsibilities are determined
by government regulations (including the jurisdiction's cooperative act, polity and procedures)
and the organization's own constitution and bylaws. These authorities may specify the number of
members of the board, how they are to be chosen, and how often they are to meet. The general
tenure of the executive committee is set as 4 years for Nepalese Cooperative Societies.

Moreover, the act has prohibited the executive committee members of MPCs to be the member
of next cooperative. The assessment regarding those provisions was done and the Table 2.27
shows that around 11% official accepted that the same persons are in executive committee of the
MPCs and other cooperative but not similar to the MPC. In such case, member should drop the
position from one of the executive committee. The assessment regarding the dismissed or the
withdrawal of the executive committee members were done. The Table 2.28 shows that only few
members are dismissed against the offence or the charges.

In an organization with voting members, the executive committee is accountable to, and might be
subordinate to, the organization's full membership, which usually vote for the members of the
committee. Typical duties of executive committee are:
 governing the organization by establishing broad policies and setting out strategic objectives;
 selecting, appointing, supporting and reviewing the performance of the managers and staffs;
 ensuring the availability of adequate financial resources;
 approving annual budgets;
 accounting to the members for the organization's performance;
 setting the salaries, compensation and benefits of senior management;

2.10 Account Supervision Committee

The Cooperative Act, 2074 has made the provision of the Account Supervision Committee for
each cooperative. The committee is formed by AGM mostly in consensus among the
stakeholders. The aim of the committee is to make a strong internal control system inside the
cooperative therefore it works independently to inspect the financial activities and thereby gives
the independent report periodically as well as in AGM. The selections of the members are also
based on qualification and the ability to do the internal inspection and the publication of the
periodical reports of the financial performance.

Moreover, the act has prohibited the account members of account supervision committee
members to be the employee of the same cooperatives, to be the same person in both executive
committee and the account supervision committee and to be the members in executive committee
and account supervision committee from same household. The assessment regarding those
provisions was done and Table 2.29 shows that official denied that the same persons are in
executive and account supervision committees, but 1.4% members and farmers doubt the facts.
Similarly, the Table 2.30 shows the MPCs from the Sharlahi, Surkhet and Tanahu, were the
persons from same house in either executive committee or in account supervision committees. In
such cases one of the members from same house should drop the position. The assessment
regarding the dismissed or the withdrawal of the Account Supervision Committee members were
done.

Table 2.31 shows that only few members are dismissed against the offence or the charges. The
account supervisory committee’s principal objectives are to perform, or to select a qualified
individual to perform the annual audit, member account verification, and periodic internal audits
of operational areas throughout the year. It stresses that because of the technical nature of the
supervisory committee it is imperative that the elected committee members have “hands on”
experience in accounting and auditing. Many MPCs cannot afford an external auditor, so their
only option is to have the supervisory committee perform all auditing functions.

2.11 Cooperative Fund and Accounts

The Cooperative Act, 2074 has made various provisions for the cooperative funds. Most of the
cooperatives have the reserves funds in various headings such as general reserve, union and
federation promotion reserve, etc. Table 2.32 shows the average amount of members’ share
capital fund and reserves. Moreover, MPCs from Makawanpur district have highest amount of
capital base and members fund, whereas Surkhet has lowest amount of member fund.

The summary of the account details are provided in Table 2.33. The Table shows the increment
of all indicators such as Income, Expenditures, Profits, Assets and Loan in average of all the
MPCs. Moreover, regarding the value of the members capital and reserve fund, the Makawanpur
district is richest in comparison with other district.

The Cooperative Act, 2074 has made provision to keep the double entry books of account for the
MPCs, and DMPCUs. Tables 2.34 and 2.35 show the Book Keeping system and the Auditing
frequency of the cooperatives. The results show that 27.4% MPCs are using electronic
computing system and 12.4% MPCs are using double entry book keeping. Moreover, all 100%
DMPCUs are keeping double entry book keeping system. Moreover, 68% of the cooperative
keeping their books of accounts in register note book or in written form rather than in
computerized system.

The existing act requires auditing through the certified auditor within the 3 month of completion
of the each fiscal year. Regarding this, 89.6% of the MPCs are doing the internal auditing, and

“Study on the Milk Producers' Cooperatives with special reference to Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of Cooperative Ma nagement" Page 32
93.8% MPCs are doing external auditing at least once a year. Moreover, all DMPCUs are doing
external auditing regularly but 25% (please see Annex B, Table 21 for detail) the DMPCUs are
not doing internal auditing of the books of account.

The auditing detects errors and frauds with suggestions for their prevention. Similarly it helps to
avoid such mistakes being committed the accounts are kept up-to-date. Moreover, the auditors
are the competent persons in the fields of accounts and financial laws so can render the advices
to the cooperatives for the improvements.

2.12 Information Discloser

Governance practices affect a MPC’s performance, and are an important element in evaluations
of risk both for individual firm. From the perspective of policy makers, better governance has the
potential to enhance the efficiency of an enterprise, reduce the cost of capital, and encourage
innovation. Disclosure is important because reporting is widely viewed as the most effective tool
that regulators have to encourage for better governance inside the cooperative.

Regarding this, respondents were asked: to what extent do you have the knowledge of the internal
information of the cooperatives? Tables 2.36 and 2.37 show 57.5% official and 15.2% members
knew all the internal information of the cooperative act. Whereas, 18.2% cooperative members
said that they do not have access to the internal information of the MPCs. The further statistics
are shown in Tables 2.36 and Table 2.37.

The existing act has made a provision of proper record keeping of either financial or non-
financial information such as minutes of meetings, monitoring reports, internal procedures, AGM
activities, etc. There are different means for cooperatives to disclose information such as annual
reports, interim reports, prospectuses, press releases, etc. Moreover, the financial disclosure is
intended to provide information on the operating activities, and the financial and business
situation of a firm to an interested audience. Tables 2.38 and 2.39 show the respondent answers
for the means of information dissemination process in MPCs. Most of the officials and the
members said that the internal information are disseminated mostly through Notice board, oral
communication, and writing letters. The DMPCU statistics means of the information
disseminations are presented in Table 22 of Annex B.

2.13 Monitoring and Control

Table 2.40 shows the statistics of the budgetary control process whether implemented by the
cooperatives or not. Budgetary control is the process of determining various actual results with
budgeted figures for the any firm for the future period and standards set then comparing the
budgeted figures with the actual performance for calculating variances, if any. The comparison
of budgeted and actual figures will enable the management to find out discrepancies and take
remedial measures at a proper time. The Table shows that around 73.5% of the cooperatives are
following the budgetary control of the financial resources. Moreover, all DMPCUs have made
the budget and taken approval from AGM and implemented in actions.

Moreover, the budgetary control is a continuous process which helps in planning and co-
ordination. It provides a method of control too. A budget is a means and budgetary control is the
end-result. In Nepalese cooperative society the practice of estimation budget is done before the
AGM. The annual budget is determined and passed by general assembly which is implemented
by the executive members and the staffs.

According to the cooperative act, the monitoring and control of the cooperative must be done by
the regulatory bodies such as Department of cooperative, Cooperative Division Office, Local
Bodies, and union and federation for the primary level cooperative. From the Table 2.41, the
14.2% MPCs officials experienced regular monitoring of the MPCs, 52.2% officials experienced
the occasional monitoring of the MPCs, and 33.6% official does not experienced the monitoring
from concern authorities. Similarly, 37.5% DMPCUs (of Chitwan, Makawanpur and Rupandehi)
said they are doing regular monitoring of the MPCs and 25% said they are doing monitoring
irregular and rest are not doing the monitoring for their members (see Annex B, Table 23 for
detail).

Mostly, the monitoring and controlling process oversees all the tasks necessary to ensure that the
approved and authorized project is within scope, on time, and on budget to reduce the risk of any
activities. This process involves comparing actual performance with planned performance and
taking corrective action to yield the desired outcome when significant differences exist.
Monitoring and controlling process should be continuously performed throughout the year in the
cooperative. Those processes required to track, review, and orchestrate the progress and
performance of the MPCs.

2.14 FGD Findings

The FGD were done in the DMPCU level in surveyed districts. The main objective of the FGD
was to find out the list of the MPCs to be surveyed and for the KAP assessment of the group of
the concern stakeholders. The FGD date and the number of participants are presented in Table
2.42.

The findings of the FGDs are not varied with the findings of the primary KAP surveys.
Moreover, the participants of the FGDs were more educated and experienced leaders and the
executives of the MPCs, DMPCUs and the CDCAN. The participants discussed the cooperative
issues very well. However, some time the discussion goes out of the issues but the moderator
cooperated to make discussion fruitful. The potential and relevant information raised during the
FGD are illustrated below:

“Study on the Milk Producers' Cooperatives with special reference to Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of Cooperative Ma nagement" Page 37
 The root level MPCs are established with the ground necessity of the milk producing
farmers. The selling of the milk in the market is only the source of earning money for some
small farmers. The modern livestock farming started with the establishment of the MPCs
creating the employment and enterprising opportunities in local level. Therefore, the role of
root level MPCs are highly significant for the upliftment of the socio-economic condition of
the rural farmers. Most of the MPCs facing the problem of retirement of the cooperative
members from the milk producing profession and their children are not following the same
profession. In this case, most of the cooperative members are passive and not supplying the
milk for the collection centers or the MPCs.
 MPCs are formed with the minimum capital investment of the local farmers with the support
of the dairy industries such as DDC, local milk traders, local line agencies, and in some case,
by the initiation of the root level milk producing farmers. The DMPCUs are formed with the
initiation of the CDCAN in central level and MPCs officials in local level. All MPCs,
DMPCUs, and CDCAN are incorporated under the cooperative act, and registered in division
cooperative office, PAN offices, cooperative associations/federations, municipal offices, and
the cooperative banks. The participants were positive of the integration of the division
cooperative office and municipal offices
 The cooperative stockholders are positive and aware satisfactory about the cooperative
principles. Moreover, district level union and stakeholders are also providing the trainings
and awareness program regarding the principles. Due to this, MPCs, DMPCUs, and CDCAN
have practices of the proper and good governance, and transparency inside those institutions.
But more awareness and the trainings are required to implement the actual values of the
cooperative principles in root level. But due to the lack of clear direction and provisions
regarding the principles in the cooperative act, the valid measurement indicators for the
implementation has seen.
 The farmers and members of the cooperative are supplying the milk in MPCs, MPCs
providing various services regarding awareness, trainings, livestock credit, feedings and
medications, insurances services, artificial inseminations, etc. But around 40% of the
cooperatives (mostly cooperative with fewer activities, newly established, low coverage area,
and of rural areas) are not doing all those functions due to the capacity constraint.
 The most of the MPCs do not have the internal policy and procedures in written forms. But
transparent and moral ethics of the members and executives helps to run cooperative
smoothly. But in some case problem of interest of conflict are also seen due to the lack of
such policy. The DMPCUs are also facing same problems. But with the limited resources,
CDCAN is doing its best to help its members in root level.
 The AGM is done annually within the 6 month of the completion of the each fiscal year in
most of the case, but special AGM is done rarely. However, the initial AGM is done by
newly established cooperatives. The main functions carried out by the AGM are:
election/selection of the executive committees, account supervision committees; approval of
previous auditing reports and upcoming budget and work plan, membership distribution,
dividends etc. The district like Chitwan and Makawanpur, majority of MPCs do the AGM
before Dashain and provide the dividend for its members. Moreover, they are allowing the
non-member milk supplying farmers to participate in the AGM.
 Though nomination and the election schedules are published for the election of executive and
account supervision committees, the selection of the members of the executive and account

“Study on the Milk Producers' Cooperatives with special reference to Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of Cooperative Ma nagement" Page 38
 supervision committees is based on the consensus between the members rather than doing the
election in most of the case. However, all formalities are carried out. The consensus helps the
MPCs and DMPCUs to make a unified institution. The political standings of the members
also dominate during the process of consensus. This should be minimized for the professional
development of the cooperative. Moreover, MPCs those selected the executive members
from the election process experienced the dissatisfaction and the rivalry among the
cooperative members after the election also.
 Most of the cooperative maintain the reserve fund from its regular profit annually. General
reserve is maintained in most of the case. But the control is not done for such reserve. The
reserve funds are utilized for investment in chilling vat, buildings, etc. The cash amount is
low in such reserve headings.
 Role of the account supervision committee is very crucial for the internal auditing and
publication of affaires. Almost all cooperative are doing the internal auditing at least a year.
Moreover, the committee does the short of the financial affairs before the disbursement of the
cash to the milk supplying farmers and members. The training and capacity building should
be done for the members of the account supervision committee.
 The CDCAN and DMPCU are working for the establishment of computerized record keeping
system in MPCs. Though some few capable MPCs are using electronic book keeping system,
most of them are doing single entry manual book keeping system. But the electronic milk
quality and quantity measurements are in practice widely in Chitwan, Makawanpur,
Rupandehi, districts.
 The MPCs are not in observable conditions of the conflict of interest. But, due to the distance
and proximity problem, some members left and establish new MPC nearby their proximity.
In case of such conflict, the discussion and meeting with the concern stakeholders are done
for resolving it. The DMPCUs also do arbitration if required for.
 The MPCs are supervised by the DMPCU in most of the case but supervision is not regular
and enforceable. There is no any practice of fines and punishment for its members. However
moral pressures are given to the members in case of offence against the rules and goals of the
cooperatives.
 The majority of the participants of the FGDs have knowledge of the existing cooperative act.
But they asked for separate bylaw addressing the issues of the milk producing cooperatives.
Some outlined issues are: Milk producing farmers should be separately defined by the law;
The tax exemptions should be given to the MPCs and should not treat them as milk industry;
Subsidy and Grant are provided with complex procedures and the real milk producer farmer
are not receiving those due to time and capacity constraint, therefore the subsidies are
received by non-milk producing persons/institutions; etc. Regarding this, such subsidy and
grant must be provided in kind basis rather than in cash basis. For this they asked kind
subsidy in artificial insemination, livestock insurance, veterinary services, hybrid cattle,
trainings, etc. through the existing MPCs.

2.15 CDCAN Assessment

CDCAN is the central level association acting as umbrella organization of the MPCs and
DMPCUs. Though there are 1658 number of MPCs all over the country, around 50% of them are
the members of the CDCAN. The CDCAN has 827 MPCs from 45 districts and 35 DMPCUs as

“Study on the Milk Producers' Cooperatives with special reference to Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of Cooperative Ma nagement" Page 39
its members. The establishment of the CDCAN was to enhance the institutional advocacy of the
milk producing farmers and the MPCs in action and policy level. It was established 25 years
back in 2049. It is registered in Department of Cooperative, Inland Revenue Office (PAN)
registration, National Cooperative Federation Nepal, National Cooperative Bank, etc.

The CDCAN is running professionally. The headquarters office is in New Baneshwor,

Kathmandu with five rooms, office setup, regular staffs, and other functional committees. Table
2.43 shows the composition of committee members and the staffs.

The office observation and personal interview of the existing staffs was done during the study
period to explore various KAP related assessment. The observation shows that the institutional
policy documents clearly identifies the accepted the cooperative principles and values. Existing
manager and the executive committee members are the resource persons for the various trainings
such as good milk production practices, cooperative principles, etc. conducted by the CDCAN
for the support of its members. The various policies such as good milk production policy,
account policy, staff administration policy, etc. are formulated and implemented. Officials are
aware about the various provisions of the cooperative acts. The AGM is held annually with
proper annual reporting and the budget planning for the next year. The last 25 thAGM was held in
Nijgud, Bara in 13thof Kartik 2075.

Acting as umbrella organization, the CDCAN is doing the monitoring and capacity building
programs for its members. It has been providing the trainings to its members regarding Account
Management, Leadership Development, Milk Analyzer Operation and Maintenance, Good Milk
Production Practices, etc. throughout the year as per the request asked by its members.
Moreover, it has been supporting the members to seek the concessional credits from
governmental line agencies. Furthermore, it has been promoting the livestock insurance,
statistical record keeping of milk data, low cost quality feeding materials, observation tours, and
dairy instruments distribution related activities targeting the MPCs, CMs, and Farmers.

The CDCAN follows the double entry book keeping system using both manual and
computerized system. The financial and other information is disseminated through the annual
publications of the activities. The internal auditing is conducted by account supervision
committee and the separate report is presented in the AGM. The annual statutory auditing is also
carried out regularly by the licensed external auditor. The regular sources of incomes are the

“Study on the Milk Producers' Cooperatives with special reference to Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of Cooperative Ma nagement" Page 40
membership fees, grants from different NGOs and INGOs, the service charges of training and
capacity building programs conducted to its members. The capital fund, reserves, loans profit
and loss statistics are presented in the figure 4. The figures show that, the profits, capital base,
and the reserves are increasing in last three years, whereas the assets are decreasing during the
period.

Findings, Recommendations, and Conclusion
3.1 Findings

After accessing the KAP of the milk producing cooperatives, following findings are generated:
1. About 59.6% farmers and members have heard about the cooperative act, 2074. And, most of
the cooperative practitioner knew about the provisions of the Cooperative Act, 2048.
2. The respondents, who knew about the existing act, insisted that the existing act is not
sufficient to explain all the activities regarding establishment and objectives of the MPC,
quality and standard benchmarks, livestock grants, livestock insurance and medications,
working areas, etc.
3. Most of the MPCs facing the problem of retirement of the cooperative members from the
milk producing profession and their children are not following the same profession. In this
case, most of the cooperative members are passive and not supplying the milk for the
collection centers or the MPCs.
4. The Cooperative Act, 2074 requires respective cooperative society and the associations to
formulate required policy and procedures as per the necessity. But, almost 69% of the
cooperatives are not formulating such policies. The question is not only the formulation of
such policies, but also the implementation and the impacts of such policies should be taken
into consideration.
5. The role of functional committees and the staffs are satisfactory
6. The record keeping and information system is quite convectional but working properly, the
members have faith on existing account keeping, quality performance of the staffs. Most of
the MPCs are doing proper auditing externally and internally at least one time in the year
through Account Supervision Committee and external auditors.
7. A budget is a means and budgetary control is the end-result. In Nepalese cooperative society
the practice of estimation budget is done before the AGM.
8. The monitoring and control of the cooperative must be done by the regulatory bodies such as
Department of Cooperative, Cooperative Division Office, Local Bodies, and union and
federation for the primary level cooperative. But only 14.2% respondent experience a regular
monitoring and controlling from concern authorities. In this regard, the provision of account
supervision committee is highly appreciable.
9. Among the surveyed district, overall condition of MPCs of Chitwan, Makawanpur and the
Rupandehi is found to be satisfactory and the rest of the districts are relatively performing
lower regarding knowledge and practice of the cooperative dynamics.

3.2 Recommendations

After assessment of the KAP of the officials and members of MPCs in Nepal following
recommendations are forwarded:
 The results shows that awareness of MPC practitioners for the newly enacted cooperative not
adequate, therefore they are required to have the copy of the act in their office and learn by at
least core executives such as Chairperson, Account Committee Coordinator, etc. It is also

“Study on the Milk Producers' Cooperatives with special reference to Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of Cooperative Ma nagement" Page 42
 beneficial if members are aware about the existing act. This will help for the members’
oversight for the internal performance of the MPCs.
 The government is recommended for enactment of a separate by-law for the MPC. For this,
concerned authorities are recommended to work jointly for improving the model local level
Cooperative Act, 2074 as suggested by this study.
 Since no social security provides the retirement benefits for the milk producing farmers, a
compulsory retirement contribution system should be established to provide benefits as per
the production of the milk and such fund shall be managed by professional institutions such
as Employee Provided Fund, Social Security Fund, etc., and the fund must be guaranteed by
the governmental bodies. Moreover, in such contribution, government shall make some
contribution as milk producing subsidy for the farmers. Next, the membership should be
always open and easily transferable. These provisions must be clearly defined in the
upcoming milk and milk producing cooperatives policy/by-laws.
 The institutional membership between cooperative shall be enhanced. That means, the MPC
shall be member of DMPCU, CDCAN, or nearby MPCs in a mutual ways. This will reduce
the competitiveness of the business, enhance the resource sharing: for example, they can buy
larger capacity chilling vat, transportation equipment, etc.
 The annual budget is determined and passed by general assembly which is implemented by
the executive members and the staffs. But the periodic review and practice of budget
variance analysis will help budgetary control.

3.3 Conclusion

Majority of farmers and members have heard about the Cooperative Act, 2074. But most of the
cooperative practitioners knew all provisions of the Cooperative Act, 2048. Generally, the legal
formalities are looked after by the annual auditors and the legal advisor in every organization;
therefore, from the field observation, most of the cooperative practitioners accepted and showed
their faith on the provision of existing acts and rules. The roles of the DMPCU and the central
level CDCAN are highly desirable for providing various services to the cooperatives. In this
regards, government agencies such as NDDB, Department of Cooperative, etc. are helping to
formulate policy documents. Moreover, other District Cooperative Unions and Cooperative
Federations are also providing such services. The AGM of the cooperatives are functioning very
well. Most of the officials and the members are aware about the formal procedures of the annual
general meeting. Mostly, all cooperatives are doing AGM annually; but most of the cooperative
are selecting their executive and account supervision committee members without doing election
but with common consensus.
