The Government of India has taken five more important decisions revolving around Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS). A Primary Agricultural Credit Society (PACS) is a basic unit and the smallest cooperative credit institution in India. There are about one lakh Primary Agricultural Credit Cooperative Societies present across the country. On the basis of mapping, PACS which are not functioning as fertilizer retailers will be identified and encouraged to function as retailers on the basis of feasibility in a phased manner. Thirdly, PACS will be connected with the marketing of organic fertilizers, especially fermented organic manure (FoM) or liquid fermented organic manure (LFOM) or phosphate-enriched organic manure (PROM). PACS can also be employed as drone entrepreneurs for spraying fertilizers and pesticides. Drones can also be used for the survey of the property. PACS will also be included as wholesalers/retailers in this supply and marketing chain of bio-organic fertilisers.
