"Today, this institution is no longer able to fulfill these roles efficiently, leaving an organizational void that has had a certain negative impact on the exercise of craft activities and on the attractiveness of the products and services offered to consumers. The text therefore aims to generate certain positive externalities for the future of the sector."
"This sector has just been attached to the Ministry of Crafts and we have discovered a promising sector. Indeed, the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) sector, although recently institutionalized, plays an essential role in the socio-economic chessboard of the country, particularly through cooperatives, associations and mutual societies that work as close as possible to the population concerned."
"The Government has therefore taken charge, through a proactive approach, of the promotion and structuring of this sector. The Ministry has operationalized strategies articulated around several axes: reform of the legal framework, upgrading and strengthening the capacities of ESS organizations, support for marketing, establishment of partnerships with the various stakeholders for better coordination of actions and convergence of programs dedicated to the sector. Thus, on the legislative side, the Ministry presented Bill No. 12.112 relating to cooperatives which was adopted by Parliament on July 16 and 2 bills relating to fair trade and the social economy which are currently being studied."
"Indeed, we believe that the implementation of this text is likely to increase directly and indirectly, through induced effects, the share of the craft sector in the national economy. The structuring of the sector and the recognition of qualifications will undoubtedly facilitate the emergence of a new climate, more conducive to the exercise of craft activities. This will generate, we hope, significant gains in productivity and attractiveness for the Moroccan craft product."
"The aim is to provide the Moroccan cooperative movement with a legal framework that is both flexible and coherent."
Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
