Primary Agricultural Credit Societies in every village by 2027: Shah
Noting that the computerisation of Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS) has opened up many possibilities for their development, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah on Friday said it has been decided that by 2027, there will be a PACS in every village in the country.
Shah, who inaugurated the National Cooperative Database and released the ‘National Cooperative Database 2023: A Report’ here, said, “After this decision, a challenge arose as they were unsure of the gaps and that’s when the idea of this database emerged. The database aims to identify and address the gaps through a comprehensive analysis.”
In his address, Shah said that the National Database will give direction to development of the Cooperative sector like a Compass.
