The State Parliamentary Affairs Minister Rajendra Rathore told the media-persons that the Cabinet decided to modify the Rajasthan Cooperative Societies Act, 2001 by amending its sections 27, 30 and 32 and inserting one section 30-C. These amendments would result into time-bound elections of about 33,000 cooperative societies in the state at one time, he said.
Presently, the Minister said, in the situation of appointing an Administrator on expiry of term of office of the executive board of a society, there was a provision of opportunity for hearing. Now, necessary amendment would be made for appointment of Administrator on expiry of term of office. Also, if an executive board was expelled before it completed half its tenure, elections would be held for the rest of the term only. On the event of the board demitting office after the half-time mark in terms of its tenure, next elections would be conducted by the State Cooperatives Electoral Authority with other societies, he added.
