The cooperative sector in India plays a vital role in empowering rural communities, especially in agriculture, credit, dairy, and tribal sectors. With over 8 lakh cooperatives and more than 30 crore members, it represents one of the largest cooperative networks in the world. ​ Under the able guidance of the @MinOfCooperatn, NABARD has been implementing the digitisation of Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS) in India, along with other activities (like policy support, financial assistance, and capacity building) to strengthen the cooperative sector.​ NABARD’s efforts aim to make the cooperative sector more transparent and technology-driven, ensuring that it remains a strong pillar of rural India's socio-economic framework.​ #NABARD #ApexDevelopmentBank #RuralDevelopment #FosteringRuralProsperity #Cooperatives #IYC2025 #PACS
