Whether it is the creation of the Ministry of Cooperation or decisions taken thereafter in the direction of empowering this sector, they show that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s ‘Sahakar Se Samridhi’ is not just a slogan, rather that the Prime Minister has an unwavering resolve to bring positive change to lives of those associated with the cooperative sector
Further in this series of decisions, the Cabinet chaired by Shri Narendra Modi has taken a very important decision today to computerize about 63,000 PACS, which are the smallest unit in the cooperative sector and their computerization will prove to be a boon for the sector
I express my gratitude to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for this visionary decision
63,000 PACS will be computerized at a cost of Rs. 2,516 crore, which will benefit about 13 crore small and marginal farmers
In this digital age, the decision of computerization of PACS will increase their transparency, reliability and efficiency
