The International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) declared 2025 as the year of International Year of Cooperatives (IYC 2025) under the theme “Cooperatives Built a Better World”. The theme emphasizes the role of cooperatives in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With this declaration, the Government of India has initiated a year-long programme across the country to celebrate the IYC. In tune with this programme, the Office of the Assistant Registrar of Cooperative Societies (ARCS) Mon, in collaboration with the Forest Department Mon, along with Cooperative fraternity has participated in a tree plantation drive on 5th June 2025.
Also as part of the World Environment Day celebration, tree saplings were planted at Temong, Mon on the same day under the theme “Ek Ped Maa Ki Naam” (One Tree in Mother’s Name). This plantation drive has been initiated so as to bring the importance of the environment around us and to encourage everyone to promote awareness in protecting nature for a Greener Earth.
