उपभोक्ता सहकारी समिति
Consumer Cooperative Society
परिभाषा: A consumer cooperative society buys goods in bulk and sells them to its members (and sometimes the public) at fair prices — running a shop/store owned by the consumers themselves to cut out excess margins.
आसान शब्दों में
It is a members' shop: the society buys goods wholesale and sells them to members at honest prices, and any surplus benefits the members.
हिन्दी में
उपभोक्ता सहकारी समिति थोक में सामान खरीदकर अपने सदस्यों (और कभी-कभी आम जनता) को उचित दाम पर बेचती है। यह उपभोक्ताओं की अपनी दुकान होती है, जिससे बिचौलियों का अतिरिक्त मुनाफ़ा घटता है और लाभ सदस्यों को मिलता है।
In English
A retail cooperative owned by its consumer-members, supplying everyday goods at fair prices; its books revolve around stock, sales, and (often) GST.
