सदस्य

Member

परिभाषा: A member is a person (or sometimes an institution) admitted to a cooperative society as per its byelaws, who holds share(s), uses the society's services, participates in its democratic control, and shares in its benefits and responsibilities.

आसान शब्दों में

A member is both an owner and a customer of the society — they hold a share, get a vote, use the services, and share the results.

हिन्दी में

सदस्य वह व्यक्ति है जिसे समिति ने अपने नियमों के अनुसार जोड़ा हो। सदस्य समिति का शेयर रखता है, उसकी सेवाएँ इस्तेमाल करता है, फैसलों में वोट देता है, और लाभ-ज़िम्मेदारी दोनों में हिस्सेदार होता है। आसान शब्दों में — सदस्य ही समिति का मालिक भी है और ग्राहक भी।

In English

The basic unit of a cooperative: an admitted shareholder who uses the society, votes in it, and shares its surplus and obligations.

यह क्यों ज़रूरी है

Members are the centre of every society. Member records, share capital, dividends, and voting all begin here — and SahakarLekha's member register is one of the first things a society sets up.

आम गलतफ़हमियाँ

• ❌ "A customer is automatically a member." → Membership requires formal admission per byelaws.
• ❌ "A member's vote weight depends on shares held." → One member, one vote.

सीखने के लक्ष्य

• Define who qualifies as a member.
• Explain the dual role (owner + user) of a member.
