The LMS is an integrated platform for making cooperative members, leaders, employees, youth, women, and opinion leaders aware of and educated on all elements of cooperative management. The LMS helps you to meet the difficulties of the modern economic and social landscape while also promoting cooperative business venture.

Cooperative Education and Training (CET) is not merely a prerequisite but a permanent condition for ensuring sustainable competitiveness of cooperative business enterprise as well as for evolving as a self-regulatory organization. Cooperative members, leaders, and employees must thus be educated on various aspects of the cooperatives as an "Institution and "Enterprise". Furthermore, cooperatives are often misinterpreted as entities led and governed by senior aged members. To revitalize this ageing movement, youth and women, as well as the general public, must be educated on the nature and benefits of the cooperative business models that may help them achieve their goals as individuals, communities, and society as a whole.
It is critical to have an in-depth knowledge on the cooperative as an entity. Cooperatives are "Mutual Benefit Institutions" that follow the "Madhya Marg" between the two extremes of "for-profit" and "not-for-profit" institutions. Cooperatives' fundamental goal is to serve its members as well as the needs of the community. Cooperatives' 'institutional' component is made up of members who come together to share the risks and rewards. Risks are shared by all members, not just one. As a consequence, all members collaborate to govern and control the cooperative in order to make it a profitable endeavour for everyone's benefit.
