Recently in July 2023, various schemes have been announced for PACS (Primary Agriculture Credit Societies). In the upcoming 2 to 3 years, 2 lakh multi purpose primary agriculture credit societies would be formed. Funds of 20 Lakh Crores would be alloted to PACS for the economic betterment of farmers. Consequently, it would create a transparent system where illiterate farmers won't be exploited and it would give a push to the agricultural economy of India. Here's the importance of PACS in Multi-State Cooperative Societies:

 

  • Financial Intermediaries: PACS serve as financial intermediaries that provide credit and financial services to farmers and rural communities. In a Multi-State Cooperative Society, these PACS can aggregate funds from multiple states, thereby increasing the availability of credit and financial resources for agricultural and rural development.
  • Rural Credit Disbursement: PACS are at the forefront of disbursing credit to rural and agricultural sectors. In a multi state cooperative society, PACS can channel funds and credit from various states to regions that need it the most, thereby ensuring equitable distribution of financial resources in rural areas across state boundaries.
  • Promoting Agricultural Development: Multi-State Cooperative Societies often have a broader mandate for promoting agricultural and rural development. PACS can play a pivotal role in achieving this objective by providing credit, inputs, and other essential services to farmers in different states, facilitating agricultural growth.
  • Risk Mitigation: By operating across multiple states, Multi-State Cooperative Societies can diversify their risks. PACS in different states contribute to this risk mitigation strategy by ensuring that the society's resources and activities are not concentrated in a single geographical area.
  • Cooperative Network: PACS are part of a cooperative network that includes Multi-State Cooperative Societies, State Cooperative Banks, and the National Cooperative Development Corporation (NCDC). This network facilitates collaboration and coordination among various cooperative institutions, ensuring efficient resource allocation and utilization.
  • Financial Inclusion: PACS aim to provide financial services to underserved and marginalized communities in rural areas. In a Multi-State Cooperative Society, the collective efforts of PACS from different states can lead to improved financial inclusion and economic empowerment of rural populations.
  • Regulatory Compliance: PACS must adhere to the regulatory framework established by the government. In the case of Multi-State Cooperative Societies, compliance with cooperative laws and regulations across multiple states can be challenging. PACS can assist in ensuring that the society operates within the legal and regulatory framework.
  • Strengthening Cooperative Principles: Cooperative principles, such as democratic control, member participation, and mutual cooperation, are vital to the functioning of multi state cooperative societies. PACS, as primary cooperatives, exemplify these principles and help in maintaining the cooperative ethos within the larger society.
