Abstract

n his study of Congress party recruitment for 1967 general election in Bihar and Maharashtra, W. H. Morris-Jones reported the outstanding importance of two areas of public life-education and cooperatives among applicants for Congress nominations.' Other observers have commented similarly on way in which patronage spinoff of modernization has induced close political collaboration between government and a myriad of quasi-governmental associational enterprises spawned by cooperative movement and other developmental programs.2 It has long been recognized, for example, that control of district central cooperative banks, apex credit-allocating agencies for cooperative structure in each of India's districts, paid handsome political as well as economic dividends.
