The
overall charter of MCRB&MSL was and is "towards prosperity
of the farmer through co-operative methods and an accent on
best practices". With a very clear need to establish
a co-operative, the 14 villages were chosen for proximity,
irrigation backwardness, non-availability of resources, electricity
etc.
MCRB&MSL believes that its members' investments in the
co-operative is the major reason behind the co-operative ability
to stay sensitive to their needs and highly accountable to
them. Adequate care has been taken to ensure that every member
builds his savings in the society and therefore its financial
base is wide and strong. In fact, apart from individual and
institutional savings, in the early days every member used
to contribute towards share capital, thrift and a building
fund – in proportion to his need from the cooperative.
MCRB&MSL also believes that it cannot take its members
for granted and nor can they look at it as a welfare organization.
It has taken utmost care to ensure that it created surpluses
every year and has also added a limited dividend of 15% and
9% interest on thrift deposits to members share capital every
year while managing to protect capital of members against
inflation.
With a clear accent on the belief that home is where the
heart is, MCRB&MSL takes its members who are agriculturists,
have their own land and reside in one of the 14 villages.
Even all of employees are from the same villages and are kith
and kin of the members.
