A Centre for Professional Excellence in Cooperatives (C-PEC) has been set up within the BIRD to streamline training systems in Cooperative Credit Structure (CCS) which would ensure availability of professional staff with the cooperatives for efficient delivery of banking and financial services. This CCS training and certification system is conceptually a part of the overall training strategy visualized for sustainability of the Cooperative Reform Programme and will be implemented within the overall framework of the Revival Package.
The Centre will get support from NABARD, GTZ and Govt. of India under “Rural Financial Institutions Programme” (RFIP) formulated as a result of Indo-German bilateral technical cooperation negotiations. |
