Ministry of Cooperation is developing a comprehensive National Cooperative Database in a phased manner. Mapping of about 2.64 lakh primary cooperative societies of three sectors i.e. Primary Agriculture Credit Societies (PACS), Dairy and Fisheries has been completed in February, 2023 under Phase-I. Under Phase-II, Mapping of National Cooperative Societies/Federations has been completed. Under Phase-III, the Database is being extended to the remaining cooperative societies working in all other sectors. As per the Statistical Profile of Indian Cooperative Movement-2018 published by National Cooperative Union of India (NCUI), State-wise number of Primary Agriculture Credit Societies (PACS) in the country are placed at Annexure.
The data of all cooperative societies, including PACS, collected under the National Cooperative Database has been entered and verified under the supervision of the District Registrar Office of the State Registrar of Cooperative Societies (RCS).
As per statutory provisions, the Cooperative Societies with objects not confined to one State are governed by Entry 44 of Union List of the Constitution and are centrally administered by Central Registrar of Cooperative Societies (CRCS) under provisions of Multi-State Co-operative Societies Act, 2002. The Cooperative Societies, including Primary Agriculture Credit Societies (PACS), with objects confined to one State are governed by Entry 32 of State List of the Constitution and are administered by the concerned State Registrar of Cooperative Societies (RCS) as per provisions of respective State Cooperative Societies Act.
This was stated by the Minister of Cooperation, Shri Amit Shah in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today.
