1.1 Introduction
IGNOU was established in 1985 by an Act of the Indian Parliament to democratise higher
education. The University provides cost-effective quality education to large sections of our
population. It adopts a learner-centric approach with it policy of openness and flexibility in
terms of entry qualifications, duration, pace and place of learning for successful completion of a
programme.

It ranks as one of the premier educational institutions in the world. It has contributed significantly
to the development of higher education in India. It has, been a world leader in open-distance
education and that is why the 'Centre of Excellence Award' in distance education was conferred
on it in 1993 by the Commonwealth of Learning (COL). It also received the' Award of Excellence
for Distance Eduction Materials' in 1999 from COL. The academic programmes of the University
have multi-media support with state of art facilities for the production of audio/video programmes
and their dissemination through radio and television. The University also uses interactive radio
counselling as well as tele-conferencing to provide interactivity in the teaching-learning process.
The University has 24 hours educational TV channel and educational satellite, EDUSAT.

fee. Audio/Video cassettes are made available at the Study Centres where Audio/Video playing
equipment is also available. Audio/Video programmes of the University are also broadcast as
per a pre-arranged schedule. Print materials and audio/video tapes are available for a price.
Interested persons/institutions may request for a catalogue from The Registrar (MPDD), IGNOU,
Maidan Garhi, New Delhi 110068. '

1.7 Support Services

To provide effective student support, IGNOU has set up a number of Study Centres all over the
country. You will be allotted one of these Study Centres taking into consideration your place of
residence or work. However, each Study Centre can handle only a limited number of students
and despite our best efforts, it may not always be possible to allot the Study Centre of your

7
 choice. The particulars regarding the Study Centre to which you are assigned will be communicated
to you.

Every Study Centre will have:

• a Coordinator who will coordinate different activities at the Centre.

an Assistant Coordinator and other supporting staff appointed on a part-time basis.
•
counsellors in different courses to provide counselling and guidance to you in the courses
•
you have chosen.

1.8 Programme Delivery

The University follows a multi-media approach in imparting instruction to its learners. It comprises
of:

Self-instructional Print Material

The print material prepared by the University is self-instructional in nature. Each course has
.. been divided into a number of Blocks, generally 8 Blocks for an 8 credit course and 4 or 5
Blocks for a 4 credit course. Each Block consists of a number of Units (lessons). Normally, all
the Units covered in one Block have a thematic unity. The first page of each Block indicates the
contents of each Block i.e., the number and titles of the Units covered in that Block.

This is followed by a brief introduction to the Block. This Block introduction explains the total
coverage of the Block as a whole as well as the coverage of each Unit in that Block. Each Unit
is structured to facilitate self study. The section on Objectives briefly states what we expect you
to attain when you have completed the Unit. In Introduction, there is an attempt to forge a link
with the topics of the previous Units and the topic to be covered in the present Unit. This is
followed by the main body of the Unit, which is divided into various sections and sub-sections.
In the main body, there are a few self-check exercises under the caption Self-assessment Question.
Enough space is given for you to write your answers to the questions set in the self-check exercises.
Answers to these exercises are given in the section Answers and Hints at the end of the Unit.

The section Summary summarises what has been said in the whole Unit. This summary enables
you to recall the main points covered in the Unit. To facilitate comprehension, important words/
terms covered in the Unit are explained in the section Glossary. Some books for additional
reading are suggested in the section References and Suggested Readings. For your reference
purpose some of these books may be available in the study centre.

The section Terminal Questions is intended to give you an idea about the nature of question
that may be asked in term end examinations. The Terminal Questions and Self-assessment
Questions are for your practice only, and you should not submit answers to these questions to the
University for assessment.

Read the Units carefully and note down the important points. You can use the space in the
margin of the printed pages for making notes and writing your comments. While reading the
Units, mark the words that you do not fully understand. Look for the meaning of such words in
a dictionary. Read the Unit again and again until you have understood the point. You may also
try to find it in earlier Units as it may be explained there. However, if you still do not understand
something, consult your counsellor during the face-to-face sessions at the Study Centre for
clarification.

"
Try to answer the Self-assessment Questions. These exercises will help you to reinforce the
informationlknowledge you gain through your first reading of the text. Proper comprehension
of the units and the points/notes made by you while reading through the Units will help you in
answering the Self-assessment Questions. Once you have written the answer in the blank space
provided for each question, you can compare your answers with the answers given at the end of
the unit.

Audio-Visual Aids
In addition to the print material, audio and video tapes have been prepared for each course. The
audio-video material is supplementary to the print material, Hence, we advise you to make use
of it, as that will help you to understand the subject better. Video programmes are normally of 25
-30 minutes duration: The audio tapes are run and video cassettes are screened at the Study
Centres during specific sessions. The video programmes are transmitted by Doordarshan and
Gyan Darshan. Audio programmes are broadcast in some select states through radio stations
viz. All India Radio (AIR) and Gyan Vani FM Radio Channels. Information about these would
be available at your Regional Centre/ Study Centres. The schedule of transmission is
communicated to you through the IGNOU Newsletter/ Monthly Booklet. Audio-video material
will not be supplied individually but will be available to you at the Study Centres. You can
watch these programmes during counselling sessions. Students desirous of buying the audio-
video tapes can procure them from:
Director,
Electronic Media Production Centre,
IGNOU, '
Maidan Garhi, New Delhi- 110 068.

Interactive Radio Counselling

The University has started interactive counselling through AIR network all over India. You can
participate in it by tuning in to your area radio station. Experts from various disciplines are
available for this counselling. Students can put across their questions to these experts by using
the telephone. The telephone numbers are announced by the respective radio stations. This
counselling is available on every Sunday between 4 and 5 in the evening.

Gyan Darshan
IGNOU is the nodal agency for coordinating a bouquet of educational TV channels under the
banner of Gyan Darshan (GD). Of these, GD-l is a 24-hour exclusive National Educational
channel. The Gyan Darshan channel uses C Band transponder ofINSAT 3C. In addition, IGNOU
also coordinates the functioning of GD-2, GD-3, and GD-4. GD-2 channel is being used as an
interactive channel by the University for tele-counselling, tele-lecturing, te1e-training and virtual
convocation. Live address by teachers/resource persons is telecast from EMPC studio through
video and audio satellite links to student groups assembled at various centres across the country.
It is also used to interact with Regional Centre and Study Centre functionaries on various
operational aspects. GD-3, called Ekalavya channel, is exclusively devoted to technology
education for the benefit of students of IITs and other engineering colleges in India. GD-4,
called vyas channel, is to telecast high quality higher education programmes to bridge the
knowledge and information gap between different areas and institutions in the country.You should
try to get access to it though your cable operator. The schedule of programmes with time and
date is sent to all study centres one month in advance. Please obtain it from there.

9
 Gyan Vani

Gyan Vani is a 'Radio Cooperative.' devoted exclusively to education and community

development. Its main objective is to bridge the gap between the educationally privileged and
the deprived. As of now, 26 FM radio stations are fully operational. These interactive, participatory
educational stations are aimed at greater empowerme.nt of the people, particularly the
disadvantaged. Local resource persons conduct the sessions in English, Hindi and the regional
languages/dialects.

Teleconferencing

To reach our students spread in different parts of the country we take the help of teleconferencing.
These sessions are conducted from Delhi. The students can attend these at the regional centres
·and specified study centres oflGNOU, It is a one way video and two way audio facility. You will
be sent a schedule with topics in advance through your study centres. The faculty at Delhi and
other experts as resource persons participate in these sessions. You can put your problems and
questions to these experts through the telephone available at the receiving centres. These will
-. help in resolving your queries related to courses and other general information pertaining to
programmes of study.

Counselling

In distance education, face-to-face contact between the learners and their tutors/counsellors is
an important activity. The purpose of such contact is to answer some of your questions and
clarify your doubts which may not be possible through any other means of communication. It is
also intended to provide you an opportunity to meet fellow students. There are experienced
academic counsellors at the Study Centres to provide counselling and guidance to you in the
courses that you have chosen for study. The counselling sessions for each of the courses will be
held at suitable intervals throughout the academic session. Generally there will be 10 counselling
sessions for an 8 credit course and 5 sessions for a 4 credit course. The counselling sessions are
T .ot compulsory. However, they may be very useful in certain respects, such as to share your
views on the subject with teachers and fellow participants, comprehend some of the complex
ideas or difficult issues, get clarifications for many doubts which you would not otherwise try to
raise, and consult academic counsellors for selecting courses of study.

You should note that the counselling sessions will be very different from the usual classroom
teaching or lectures. Counsellors will not be delivering lectures or speeches. They will try to
help you to overcome difficulties (academic as well as personal), which you face while studying
for your programme. In these sessions you must look into the subject based difficulties and any
other issues arising out of such difficulties. Besides, some of the audio and videocassettes that
.are available at that time will be played in the counselling sessions.

Before you go to attend the counselling sessions, please go through your course material and
note down the points to be discussed. Unless you have gone through the Units, there may not be
much to discuss. Try to concentrate on the relevant and the most important issues. Also try to
understand each other's points of view.

1.9 Evaluation System

1) The Evaluation System for IGNOU courses consists of two components:
a) Continuous evaluation through assignments (Tutor Marked Assignments).
b) Term-end examinations.

10
 In the final results, assignments carry 30% weightage, while 70% weightage is given for
term-end examinations.
2) All the assignments and term-end examinations will be scored as a numerical marking
scheme.

Continuous Evaluation through Assignments

Assignments constitute the continuous evaluation. The submission of assignments is compulsory.
The marks that you get in your assignments will be counted in your final result. Assignments of
a course carry 30% weightage while 70% weightage is given to the term-end examinations.
Therefore, you are advised to take your assignments seriously.

The main purpose of assignment is to test your comprehension of the learning materials you
receive from us and also to help you get through the courses. The evaluators/counsellors after
correcting the assignments send them back to you with their comments and marks which will
help you in your study and help in improving it. The content provided in the printed course
materials should be sufficient for answering the assignments. Please do not worry about the
non-availability of extra reading materials for working on the assignments. However, if you
have easy access to other books, you may make use of them.

There is one Tutor Marked Assignment (TMA) per course, which is evaluated by the counsellor.
Thus, you have to attempt one assignment for each course. You have to complete and submit the
assignments at the study centre within the due date specified in the assignments booklet or
within one month of the date of receipt of assignments, whichever is later. The University/ Co-
ordinator of-the Study Centre has the right to reject the assignments submitted after the due date.
You are, therefore, advised to submit the assignments before the due date. For your own record,
retain a copy of all the assignment responses which you submit to the Coordinator of study
centre. If you do not get back your duly evaluated tutor marked assignments along with a copy of
assessment sheet containing comments of evaluator on your assignment within a month after
submission, please try to get it personally from your study centre.

Try to maintain an account of the corrected assignment responses received by you after evaluation.
This will help you to represent your case to the University in case any problem arises. If you do
not get pass marks in any assignment, you have to submit it again. To get fresh assignments you
should write to Registrar, MPDD, IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi - 110068. You may also
download from IGNOU web site www.ignou.ac.in. However, once you get the pass grade in an
assignment, you cannot resubmit it for improvement of grade. Assignments are not subject to re- .
evaluation except for factual errors, if any, committed by the evaluator. Score communicated by
the study centre through any mode other than the award list will not be acceptable to the university
for taking your score of assignments on your record. In case you find that the score indicated in
the assignment sheet of your Tutor Marked Assignment has not been correctly reflected or is not
entered in your grade card, you are advised to contact the coordinator of your study centre with
a request to forward the correct award list to the Student Evaluation Division at the Headquarters.

Submission of Assignments
You have to submit your assignment response sheets to the Coordinator of the Study Centre
assigned to you. In case there is no study centre activated in the region the assignment can be
directly submitted to the Programme Coordinator, School of Law, IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New
Delhi. Submission of assignments is compulsory. You will not be allowed to appear for the
term-end examination for any course if you do not submit the assignments in time for that

11
course. If you appear in term-end examination without submitting the assignments, the result of
term-end examination would be liable to be cancelled.

Specific Instructions for Tutor Marked Assignments (TMAs)

3) Use only foolscap size paper for your response and tie all the pages carefully. Avoid using
very thin paper. Allow a 4 cm margin on the left and at least 4 lines in between each answer.
This may facilitate the evaluator to write useful comments in the margin at appropriate
places.

4) Write the responses in your own hand. Do not print or type the answers. Do not copy your
answers from the UnitslBlocks sent to you by the University. If you copy, you will get zero

2. SCHOOL OF LAW
The School of Law (SOL) was established in 2005 with an objective of imparting legal education
through Open and Distance Learning System. The school aims to create awareness about legal
rights and responsibilities in the emerging world order. The School strives to ensure high quality
education and research through innovative, multi-media learning teaching packages with a focus
on learning practical aspects' of law, acquiring legal skills and scholarship.

14
Recognising the importance of legal education and demand for the programmes in Law, IGNOU
constituted a five member Committee in 1994 under the Chairmanship of Prof. N.R. Madhava
Menon an eminent legal educationist. Prof. Menon's Committee suggested developing
professional programmes in Law including programmes in paralegal education, court
administration, law office management, legal aid administration, occupation based and
management oriented legal education for middle 3?d top level personnel in government and
industry. The UGC Curriculum Development Centre in Law (CDC) setup in 1990 under the
leadership of Prof. Upendra Baxi, an eminent jurist also underscored the importance of Distance
Education in Law as inclusive legal education for wider participation in legal profession, judicial
appointments and government law of offices.

The School of Law organised a Brainstorming Session on 4th June, 2007 to prepare a road map
for legal education in India. Number of eminent legal experts, educationists attended the day
long session. The important recommendations of the Brainstorming session enabled the School
of Law to plan and develop a range of programmes in law.

The following programmes are on offer at SOL.

I) Programmes on offer

3. CERTIF]CATE IN CO-OPERATION,
CO-OPERATIVE LAW AND BUSINESS LAWS
.3.1 . What is Co-operation?'
The term co-operation refers to the act of people, persons or institutions coming together to
carry out legally recognised or acceptable activity beneficial to all members which otherwise
is neither desirable nor possible to be carried out by an individual. Co-operation is regarded
as an economic system with a social content. (Prof. P.H. CasselJnan). Co-operation transforms
human life from a conflict of classes struggling for opposite interest to a friendly rivalry in
the pursuit of the common good of all (J.S. Mill). Competition is essentially a kind of
warfare which means the triumph of the strong and the ruin of the weak, while co-operation
means nothing less than an economic system destined to supersede capitalism by mutual aid
(Mr. Charles Gide). Co-operation is a vast movement which promotes voluntary associations
of individuals having common needs who combine towards the achievement of common
economic ends. (Mr. Vaikunth. Mehta). When individualism was of the order of the day, co-
operation presented a defensive act of association on the part of individual citizens. But with
the adoption of the principle of social regulation, the co-operative societies came to occupy
a more positive role. The co-operative form of organisation can no longer be treated as only
a species within the private sector (First Five Year Plan). In a country whose economic life
has its roots in the villagers, co-operation is something more than a series of activities
organised on co-operative lines, basically, its purpose is to evolve a system of co-operative
community organisation which touches upon all aspects of life. (Second Five Year Plan).

3.2 What- Constitute Co-operative?

The term Co-operate refers to the intention to work or operate together for a common purpose,
effect etc. The term Co-operative refers to the act of working together or inclined to work
together or pertaining to or set up as a co-operative. Co-operative is a form of organisation,
wherein persons voluntarily associate together as human beings on the basis of equality, for
the promotion of economic interests of themselves. (Mr. H. Clavert). Co-operative society
is an enterprise formed and directed by an association of users, applying itself the rules of
democracy and -directly intended to serve both its own members and community as a whole
(Prof. Paul Lambert). Co-operative is a system of social organisation based on the principles
of unity economy, democracy, equity and liberty (Mr. Warkiris). Co-operative refers to self-
help made effective by organisation through better farming, better business and better living.
(Sir Horace Plunkett)

3.3 .What is Co-operative Law?

The law governing the formation, regulation and functioning of Co-operative Institutions is called
Co-operative law.

20
 The subject Co-operation is covered under list-ll or State list (entry 32) and list I or Union list entry
43 & 44 under T" schedule of the constitution of India, the state as well as central government have
power to enact law on this subject.
The Co-operative law broadly deals with the procedure for formation of Co-operative institutions,
the amalgamation and division of these institutions at point of need, the Rights and Liabilities of
Members, management of Co-operative institutions by recognising the democrate principles, legal
regulation of Co-operative institutions, mobilisation of funds, machinery for settlement of disputes
and closure of Co-operative institutions.

3.4 What are Business Laws?

The laws dealing with promotion, formation regulation and closure of business enterprises are called
business laws. Co-operative institutions are also regarded as business enterprises, hence, a basic
knowledge on business law is necessary. Business Law covers nearly 24 legislations dealing with
business enterprises.
