  Primary Agricultural Co-operative  Society (PACSs)

Since the economic structure of our country has its roots in villages, the Primary Agricultural Co-operative Societies (in Bengali Samabaya Krishi Unnyan Samity--SKUS) plays a pivotal role. This type of Co-operative Societies meets more than 60% of the credit needs of the farmers and the monopoly of the Money Lenders, Land Lords etc. has already been broken in the villages.

In our Birbhum District PACSs too are playing the key role in village and rural economy. As on 31.3.2005 we have with us 350 PACSs covering 2,13,917 members.119 PACSs are mobilizing deposits to the tune of Rs.2386.04 lakhs. 

Performance of some PACSs / SKUSs is given below.
