A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on Thursday between the Ministry of Cooperation, Ministry of Information Technology, NABARD and CSC e-Governance Services India Limited. Accordingly, the services provided by the Common Service Centers will now also be provided by the Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS). According to an official statement, the MoU was signed in the presence of Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah and Union Electronics and Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnav.
Shah said that under the MoU, Primary Agricultural Credit Societies could now function as Common Service Centers (CSCs). Along with this, more than 300 services will be made available to the rural population, including Rs 13 crore PACS members. This will enhance the business activities of PACS and help them become self-sufficient economic entities. Shah said that the PACS could provide citizens with all the services listed in the Seva Digital Portal of the CSC scheme.
This includes services related to banking, insurance, Aadhaar registration/update, legal services, agricultural equipment, PAN card, as well as IRCTC, train, bus and plane tickets. He said that the PACS could now function as CSCs using the national software being developed under the centrally sponsored scheme for the computerization of the PACS.
