Kakching, May 15 2026: A meeting of the District Level Implementation and Monitoring Committee (DLMC), Kakching, regarding the Centrally Sponsored Project for Computerisation of Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (CSPACS), Phase II, was held today at the Conference Hall of the Deputy Commissioner's office, Kakching.

The meeting was chaired by Additional Deputy Commissioner P Bhavananda Sharma and deliberated on the inclusion of the remaining six Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS) in the district under the computerisation process.

During the meeting, it was informed that 15 PACS in Kakching district have already been computerised.

The committee recommended the inclusion of six more PACS for digitisation, namely The Wangoo Tera Multipurpose Primary Agricultural Credit Cooperative Society Ltd, The May eng Lamjao GPLMPCS Ltd, The Keirak GPLMPCS Ltd, Serou GPLMPCS Ltd, The Pangaltabi GPLMPCS Ltd and The Arong Nongmaikhong Gram Panchayat Level Multipurpose Cooperative Society Ltd .

Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS) are grassroots-level cooperative credit institutions which operate at the village/gram Panchayat level.

They provide immediate, short-to-medium-term loans, agricultural inputs and financial services to farmers.

They directly interact with rural borrowers, providing credit for seeds, fertilizers and pesticides, while also managing loan repayments.

Beyond credit, they act as marketing outlets, storage facilities and provide Common Service Centers.

The aim of digitising PACS is to bring greater transparency and accountability in their operations, enabling them to diversify their business and undertake more activities.

It is also expected to strengthen its role as nodal centres for delivering services such as Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), Interest Subvention Scheme (ISS), Crop Insurance Scheme (PMFBY) and the distribution of agricultural inputs like fertilisers and seeds.

The DLMC meeting was also attended by District Development Manager (DDM) NABARD, District Cooperative Officer, District Information Officer - DIPR, Branch Manager of State Cooperative Bank Ltd -Kakching along with chairpersons and representatives of various PACS .
