About Us About Us About Us
The Unati Agri Allied and Marketing Multi-State Cooperative Society Ltd. (UAMMCL) is a cooperative institution rooted in grassroots participation and shaped by a long-term vision of inclusive, member-led development. UAMMCL represents the evolution of a cooperative journey that began at the community level and grew into a multi-state institution designed to strengthen livelihoods, cooperative enterprises, and shared economic systems through cooperation.
Our Cooperative Journey
The origins of UAMMCL trace back to 2003, when the Unati movement emerged as a village-rooted initiative focused on dignity, self-reliance, and collective progress through cooperation. Over two decades of on-ground experience in working with farmers, women, producer groups, and community institutions shaped the foundation for a broader institutional role. In 2023, this journey culminated in the establishment of UAMMCL as a Multi-State Cooperative Society, enabling the cooperative to operate across regions while retaining its grassroots character. This transition reflects a shift from localized efforts to a structured institutional framework capable of supporting cooperation at scale.
Why UAMMCL Exists
UAMMCL was established to respond to structural challenges faced by rural and community-based economic systems, including fragmented markets, limited value addition, weak institutional capacity, and unequal access to opportunity.
Rather than relying on short-term interventions, UAMMCL focuses on institution-building—strengthening cooperative ownership, enabling sustainable livelihood systems, creating linkages across production and markets, and integrating economic activity with community wellbeing.
This approach ensures that development outcomes are collective, inclusive, and resilient.
How We Work
UAMMCL advances its mission through structured cooperative platforms, defined initiatives, and partnerships that align grassroots participation with institutional responsibility. By combining community engagement with disciplined governance frameworks, the society enables cooperatives and collectives to participate effectively in value chains, markets, and capacity-building processes—without compromising cooperative principles.
Values That Shape Us
The work and conduct of UAMMCL are guided by the core values of cooperation, including voluntary and open membership, democratic member control, equity and mutual assistance, transparency and accountability, and deep concern for community and sustainability. These values are not symbolic; they actively shape institutional decisions, partnerships, and long-term priorities.
Our Institutional Identity
UAMMCL functions as a member-owned cooperative institution where ownership, decision-making, and accountability remain with the cooperative membership.
The society brings together individuals, cooperatives, women collectives, producer groups, and allied organization’s within a shared institutional structure. This design allows UAMMCL to work across state boundaries while ensuring transparency, democratic governance, and regulatory compliance.
At its core, UAMMCL exists to serve its members and strengthen the cooperative ecosystem they belong to.
An Institution for a Cooperative Future
As India moves toward Viksit Bharat 2047, UAMMCL positions itself as a cooperative institution that enables communities, cooperatives, and member-led enterprises to grow with resilience and shared purpose. By strengthening institutions rather than isolated projects, and by fostering cooperation among cooperatives, UAMMCL contributes to building a more inclusive, accountable, and sustainable cooperative ecosystem for the future.
