## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF COOPERATION सहकारिता मंत्री (SHRI AMIT SHAH)

(a): As per National Cooperative Database there are more than 8 lakh cooperative societies in  the  country,  out  of  which  total  6,28,398  cooperative  societies  are  currently  functional, covering various sectors such as Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS), Dairy, Fishery, Housing,  and  Multi-purpose  Cooperatives.  The  State-wise  and  District-wise  details  are enclosed at Annexure-I and Annexure-II respectively.

(b) The monitoring of cooperative societies is primarily handled by the respective State/UT Governments,  as  they  are  responsible  for  overseeing  their  registration,  functioning,  and compliance.  However,  the  Ministry  of  Cooperation  has  introduced  several  mechanisms  to improve oversight and governance. The computerization of PACS has been a significant step toward ensuring transparency in financial transactions. Additionally, a National Cooperative Database  has  been  developed  to  create  a  centralized  system  for  tracking  the  status  and performance of cooperatives across the country. The enactment of the Multi-State Cooperative Societies  (Amendment)  Act,  2023,  has  further  strengthened  governance  by  introducing stringent  regulations,  improved  accountability  standards,  and  increased  transparency  in  the functioning of multi-state cooperative societies. Institutions such as NABARD and NCDC are also  playing  a  crucial  role  in  policy  guidance,  financial  support,  and  capacity-building initiatives to improve cooperative governance.

(c) The audit of cooperative societies is a critical aspect of ensuring financial discipline and accountability, and it comes under the purview of the respective State/UT Governments under their Cooperative Acts. Further, to ensure the timely and accurate audit of PACS, online audit is being conducted by States/ UT under Computerization of PACS Project, enabling realtime financial reporting and reducing irregularities.

The project for Computerization of functional PACS has been approved by the Government of India with a total financial outlay of ₹2,516 Crore, and it entails bringing all functional PACS in the country onto an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) based common national software which aims to improve their operational efficiency, ensure speedy disbursal of loans, lower transaction costs and increase transparency.

(d) In order to address the foodgrain storage challenges in rural areas, the Government on 31.05.2023, has approved the 'World's Largest Grain Storage Plan in Cooperative Sector', which  has  been  rolled  out  as  a  Pilot  Project.  The  Plan  entails  creation  of  various  agri infrastructure at PACS level, including godowns, custom hiring center, processing units, Fair Price Shops, etc. through convergence of various existing schemes of the Government of India (GoI), such as, Agriculture Infrastructure Fund (AIF), Agricultural Marketing Infrastructure Scheme  (AMI),  Sub  Mission  on  Agricultural  Mechanization  (SMAM)  Pradhan  Mantri Formalization of Micro Food Processing Enterprises Scheme (PMFME), etc. Under the Pilot Project of the Plan, construction of godowns has been completed in 11 PACS of 11 States. Foundation Stone has been laid in 500 PACS of 10 States.

This  plan  is  being  implemented  by  utilizing  the  existing  budgetary  outlays  under  various Government of India schemes, such as AIF, AMI, SMAM, etc., that are being converged at the level of these primary level cooperative societies.

The objective of the initiative is to establish grain storage infrastructure at the PACS level to decentralize storage, reduce post-harvest losses, and enhance food security. This plan enables PACS  to  act  as  procurement  and  storage  hubs,  improving  their  economic  viability  while strengthening rural food supply chains. The initiative intends to reduce foodgrain wastage, cut transportation  costs  for  farmers,  and  ensure  better  price  realization,  thus  improving  overall market  efficiency  and  financial  sustainability  of  PACS.  By  empowering  cooperatives  with modern storage infrastructure, this initiative aims to transform rural agricultural supply chains and create long-term economic benefits for farmers.
