Our verdict
Broken on the March 2026 building deadline, and off track for the end of 2026. In October 2026 the government was aiming for 35,000 cooperatives operating, out of 80,000 to be phased in, and the villages minister said physical facilities for about 35,000 to almost 36,000 would be finished by the end of 2026, with the rest in a later phase. All 80,000 have legal status.
