This document summarizes the findings of a study on the socio-economic impact of over 300 cooperatives and mutuals in 26 countries. The study found that cooperatives and mutuals promote:
1) Economic, social, and political stability and regulation through their longevity, reserves, response to crises, and impact on labor markets.
2) Equitable access to goods and services by serving fundamental needs, offering unique and extended services, participating in intercooperation, and prioritizing community concerns.
3) Economic, social, and political diversity and inclusion by functioning as democratic organizations, promoting citizenship education and cultural identities, and supporting plural economies and innovation.

E governance in indian universities- a conceptual framework. updatedVijay Bhaskar
The insight, of university administration and systems in India, is considered the most common issue for all the stakeholders engaged in higher education. Given the economic development, accelerated by the expanding base of higher education may lead to the reduction of other kinds of disparities- social, regional, and political, and its contribution in stabilizing our civil society at this juncture of volatility cannot be underestimated which in turn may help the process of speedy national development. On the one hand universities are finding it difficult to promote administrative efficiency, and on the other hand the higher education programmes are becoming unaffordable to many students. It is evident that the situation in various higher education institutions differ, mainly because of the different rules, administrative complexities and academic culture. There are many reasons why higher education institutions like Universities are finding it difficult to bring in transparency, efficiency, economy and good governance. In this connection, introducing e-governance in university administration holds the promise for, growth and development of Universities
Community is the Answer: What is the Question?TANKO AHMED fwc
The Inclusive Community Education and Development Association (ICEADA) Conference series focus on the maxim of ‘community is the answer’. This general rule pursues community based sustainable development, particularly in developing societies where such efforts continuously fail to bring about results disconnected grassroots. A recent study (Ra-Ha, 2011) commissioned by the Kaduna State Government in Nigeria established that government services were not effective at grassroots due to absence of planned functional administrative structures at community level to absorb whatever was provided.
This Keynote Address draws attention of experts and practitioners to expand the horizon and reflect on ‘what is the question’ for ICEADA’s ‘community is the answer’. It aims at strengthening established foundations, as well as provides an umbrella for the main conference theme, sub-themes and expected major contributions. Existing ‘global-to-local’ efforts including challenges and opportunities in ICEADA’s laudable tasks are also discussed.
