ADMINISTRATIVE SETUP

Administrative Setup
The Department of Cooperation is headed by the Registrar, Cooperative Societies. He has been entrusted with the duties of promoting, sustaining as well as guiding the Cooperative Societies in the State. The statutory functions of the Registrar include the functions as contained in the Punjab Cooperative Societies Act, 1961 and the rules framed there under. These range from registration of the Cooperative Societies to that of the elections of their governing bodies, from inspection of societies to the hearing of arbitration or appeals in case of any dispute and from execution of awards to the liquidation of the societies. The developmental functions of the Registrar include planning, management and implementation of projects and schemes concerning promotion and development of Cooperatives 

The Registrar and the officers appointed to assist him work under the direct supervision, control and guidance of Financial Commissioner (Cooperation) and the Cooperation Minister at Government level.

To streamline the working of Inspectors in the field, a massive exercise was carried out to fix the Headquarter and jurisdiction of the 1400 Inspectors of the Department in consultation with the Field Officers. Before issuing orders fixing headquarter and jurisdiction of Inspectors, the workload of each Inspector, the geographical contiguity and convenience of general public was taken into account. All 597 Focal Points in the State have been declared headquarters of Cooperative Inspectors. In order to remove undue controls and do away with the criticism of "Inspectorial Raj", a proposal was made in the year 2000. to redeploy and dispurse the Inspectorial and Ministerial Staff with a view to bring them closer to the people and improve their efficiency in delivery alongwith effective supervision mechanism and the sub-divisional level. Towards this end, a proposal was sent to Finance Department to create 39 posts of Assistant Registrars so as to cover all the 72 Sub Divisions in the State. It was proposed that these posts be created by abolishing a similar number of posts of Cooperative Inspectors and some other redundant posts of the Department. FD has approved the proposal and there would be one Assistant Registrar in each of the 72 Sub-Divisions as against 33 in the year 2000. This would ensure better supervision. In order to operationalise 39 new offices of ARCSs at sub-divisional level, no new ministerial staff was recruited and these offices were operationalised by re-deploying the existing staff.
