This study sheds light on Gujarat’s cooperative banks’ relevance in the local financial scene by examining their performance, difficulties, and future possibilities. This study paper compares and evaluates the financial results of a few cooperative banks in Gujarat, India. The promotion of financial inclusion and aiding in regional economic growth are major roles played by cooperative banks. In order to gain insight into the health and sustainability of these cooperative banks, the study will concentrate on evaluating important financial metrics, such as profitability, liquidity, asset quality, and efficiency. This study seeks to identify the advantages, disadvantages, possibilities, and difficulties that these banks confront and then makes suggestions for how to address those issues. Gujarat’s financial system is significantly influenced by cooperative banks, which promote financial inclusion and economic growth at the local level. Being owned and operated by its members, who are often people with a shared interest, occupation, or geographic location, makes these banks distinctive in their form and function. Many cooperative banks in Gujarat stand out for their contributions to the development of the state’s economy and the empowerment of local communities. Here, we’ll introduce a few Gujarati cooperative banks that have been hand-picked.
