Organisation

From a movement that had just 375 members and a share capital of less than Rs. 2300 at the time of its birth, today the society has grown to being a collective of 6166 members with a share capital of nearly Rs. 220 lakhs. Much of this success can be ascribed to the organization structure of the society, which apart from being participative, responsible, democratic and visionary is also successful at the end of the day!

The society functions on a simple model, as follows,

The cooperative originally registered under the Andhra Pradesh Cooperative Societies Act of 1964 has been converted to Andhra Pradesh Mutually Aided Cooperative Societies Act 1995 on 5-6-1995 a liberal parallel cooperative act

There is a democratic voting body of 6166 members from the 14 villages, form the General Body.

This body elects a Governing Body of 15 members, also known as the Board of Directors. This committee has a President with a term of 5 years and once in every 20 months there are elections to 5 seats in the Managing Committee on a staggered basis. The society's Managing Committee makes the policy decisions and the posts of president and committee members are honorary. The president is morally and historically (in legacy with the founder's example) bound to put in several hours each day at the cooperative society and the committee members are also available for consultation and interaction with the members in their respective villages.

For dusk-to-dawn smooth functioning, this structure is again under-pinned by a General Manager and 110 employees who take care of the society's day-to-day activities and way of work.

It is very heartening to know that in the Audits conducted by Cooperative department officers, the society has been rated as A class under audit classification since 1957

Also, in a way not really understood by those who have never interacted with the society out there in the wilderness called Mulukanoor, like almost everything successful here, this organization structure owes its longevity to the pioneering vision of Shri Vishwanatha Reddy.
