Why in the news

A digital Co-operative Stack is being created to route rural scheme delivery through PACS.

Key facts

  • Unified, technology-led platform linking schemes with PACS.
  • Modelled on Agri Stack, which holds farmer data such as land records and crop details.
  • AI tools, for example automated weather advisories, are planned.
  • PACS become the central node, displacing fragmented channels like SHGs and FPOs.

Background

The RBI had earlier curbed PACS activity because of poor transparency; digitisation aims to remove that issue.

Exam angle

  • Platform: Co-operative Stack; hub institution: PACS.
