Explanation:

Only statements 1&3 are correct.

• By definition, cooperatives are organisations formed at the grassroots level by people to harness the power of collective bargaining towards a common goal.

• The history of cooperative societies dates back to the pre-Independence era, in response to the agrarian distress and overall indebtedness.

• In agriculture, cooperative dairies, sugar mills, spinning mills etc are formed with the pooled resources of farmers who wish to process their produce. In banking and finance, cooperative institutions are spread across rural and urban areas. There are also cooperative marketing societies in rural areas and cooperative housing societies in urban areas.

• Amul is a successful example of a dairy cooperative society.

• Agriculture and cooperation are in the state list, which means state governments can govern them. A majority of the cooperative societies are governed by laws in their respective states.

Hence option 3rd is correct.
