About us
Astha Kendra Keshav Bahuuddeshiya Sahkari Samiti Ltd.
“Astha Kendra Keshav Bahuuddeshiya Sahkari Samiti Ltd.” is a cooperative institution dedicated to promoting Swadeshi products, small-scale industries, self-help groups, and farmers’ produce. We firmly believe that the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India) can only be realized when we wholeheartedly adopt indigenous products and give them global recognition.
Our flagship initiative, “Astha Bhandar,” affiliated with Sahkar Bharati, provides a wide range of daily essentials — pulses, grains, freshly milled flour, spices, papad, mangodi, petha, pure ghee, mustard and sesame oil, dry fruits, sweets, and other groceries — all sold at fair prices, with correct weight and convenient home delivery.
What We Really Do?
Astha Bhandar also indirectly encourages local shopkeepers and companies to sell goods at fair margins, ensuring that no individual or establishment exploits customers by selling under a monopoly. Thus, we play an active role in maintaining price control and fair competition in the market.
Our Company Vision
We particularly focus on products made by Laghu Udyogon Bharati enterprises, rural artisans, women’s self-help groups, and local farmers. This ensures fair value to producers and strengthens the spirit of collective ownership and leadership.
History Of Beginning
As Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji has repeatedly emphasized the importance of “Vocal for Local” and “Atmanirbhar Bharat,” Astha Bhandar works with the same ideology — to empower society and the nation by promoting Swadeshi. With Sahkar Bharati, thousands of cooperative institutions across India — cooperative banks, consumer forums, and distribution centers — are actively engaged in cooperative marketing and collective economic empowerment.
Our guiding principles remain:
“One for All, All for One”
“Without Cooperation, No Upliftment”
Join us in adopting Swadeshi, supporting small industries, and building a truly self-reliant India through cooperation.
