Under the World’s Largest Grain Storage Plan in Cooperative Sector, 1,015 PACS across the country have been identified for construction of godowns and construction work has been completed in 313 PACS creating a total capacity of 1.80 LMT.

NCEL was set up as an umbrella organization for the export of goods and services produced by cooperative societies most of whose members are small and marginal farmers. Since its inception, the NCEL has exported over 14,89,102 MT of 50 agricultural products, valued at INR 5866.10 crores to 38 countries.

To ensure financial transparency across rural credit lines, the ERP-based Common National Software under PACS Computerisation Project provides standardized modules for accounting, statutory audit and Management Information System (MIS) for Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS). The software enables maintenance of digital records, generation of audit trails and standardized financial reporting, thereby enhancing transparency, accountability and efficiency in the functioning of PACS. The ERP system also facilitates statutory audit of PACS by providing digital records and audit-related information required for the audit process.
