SKC. 2] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA EXTRAORDINARY 335STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
The National Co-operative Development Corporation was establish- ed in March, 1963, under the National Co-operative Development Cor- poration Act, 1962. The basic objective of this Corporation is to plan, promote and finance programmes for processing, storage and marketing of agricultural produce and certain other commodities, on co-operative principles. The subject-matter of the Act is relatable to entry 43 in the Union List of the Seventh Schedule to the Constitution and entry 33 in the Concurrent List of that Schedule. Since at the time of enactment of the National Co-operative Development Corporation Act, 1962, entry 33 of the Concurrent List did not apply to the State of Jamrau and Kashmir, the Act did not extend to that State.
2. Entry 33 of the Concurrent List has since been made applicable to the State of Jammu and Kashmir. For promoting a large programme of co-operative processing, storage and marketing, particularly of fruits and vegetables, in the State of Jammu and Kashmir, it would be ad- vantageous to extend the National Co-operative Development Corpora- tion Act, 1962, to that State.
3. The Bill seeks to achieve the above objective.
