Abstract

This paper presents a conceptual analysis of the structure and process of governance in Souharda cooperatives, with a specific focus on the context of Karnataka, India. Souharda cooperatives are community-based organizations that aim to promote socio-economic development and empower individuals through cooperative principles. The study examines the governance mechanisms, decision-making processes, and accountability frameworks within Souharda cooperatives, emphasizing the importance of effective governance for their sustainability and impact. Through a conceptual lens, this research explores the key components of governance in Souharda cooperatives, identifies challenges, and suggests potential strategies for enhancing their governance practices. The findings contribute to the understanding of cooperative governance in the Indian context and offer insights for policymakers and practitioners in strengthening the structure and process of governance in Souharda cooperatives.
