CO-OPERATIVE CREDIT IN INDIA 



29 



The figures in Table II, relating to average working capital and average 

 loans outstanding per society, show slight and quite normal increases. The 

 average amount of loans granted per society is practically the same in 

 igii-i2 as in the pre^dous 3'ear. 



The next table (Table III) shows, by Provinces, the number and kind 

 of societies, number of members and amount of working capital. 



The above table includes all the British Provinces except the North- 

 West Frontier Province and Baluchistan. In the former Province the 

 co-operative movement has as yet made little progress, and since the close 

 of the 3^ear under review, steps have been taken for the liquidation of the 

 few societies which existed in 191 2. The Act has not yet been applied 

 in Baluchistan. 



In the native state of Mysore, on June 30th, 1912, there were 129 Rural 

 societies with 3,679 members and an aggregate working capital of Rs. 

 96,249. In Baroda on the same date, there were 122 societies of all kinds 

 with a total membership of 2,815. but we have no information as to how many 

 of the societies were Rural societies. 



We may complete our sketch of the general progress of Rural societies 

 by presenting the figures relating to aggregate receipts and disbursements, 

 aggregate profit and loss, etc., for the year 1911-12.
