The Government of India is integrating the computerisation project of Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS) with key national portals to strengthen financial inclusion and improve service delivery, especially for small and marginal farmers. The initiative aims to enable a common accounting system and a uniform nationwide Management Information System (MIS), enhancing transparency and trust in cooperative institutions.
Under the project, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software for PACS is being integrated with the Core Banking Systems of District Central Cooperative Banks and State Cooperative Banks. The system is also being linked with platforms such as the National Cooperative Database, Common Service Centres, Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samriddhi Kendras, and Janaushadhi Kendras.
Integration with the National Cooperative Database has been completed, while linkages with other portals are at various stages. The information was shared by Union Minister Amit Shah in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha.
