Defunct B-PACS to be made operational through roster system
Lucknow: With over 2,215 out of 6,859 Bahu-Uddeshiye Prathmik Gramin Cooperative Samitis (B-PACS), meant for fertiliser distribution in villages, being non-operational in the absence of full-time secretaries, the department has made additional arrangements to ensure that these samitis remain open at least twice a week to facilitate fertiliser distribution. The cooperative department has streamlined the duties of secretaries of functional samitis and instructed them to monitor the non-functional samitis. Cooperative department commissioner Yogesh Kumar said cooperative societies played important role in distribution of fertilisers to farmers and affirmed there were several societies facing operational problems in the absence of secretaries and other working staff. As a result, secretaries of the samitis were given an additional charge, but that did not solve the problem. Kumar said the department will now formulate a roster for secretaries with additional charge. "This will streamline samiti operations and help farmers get fertiliser," he said, adding that duty chart and mobile number of secretaries and other key officials of cooperative department would be displayed to help farmers approach them. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like So sánh mức trượt giá: Hợp đồng tương lai (CFD) Bitcoin vs Ethereum IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo According to a cooperative department report, out of the 6,859 B-PACS set up in villages, only 4,644 have full-time secretaries to make them operational in Kharif season, which started in June. The rest of the over 2,215 samitis (32%) are either completely non-operational or not functioning regularly in the absence of adequate manpower. The non-functionality of over 2,200 B-PACS is seen as a pointer to a systemic administrative vacuum in last-mile delivery. Full-time secretaries are crucial as they not only ensure fertiliser distribution but also maintain records, liaise with block-level authorities and monitor stock levels. Timely fertiliser availability is vital in Kharif for timely sowing and yields. Cooperative societies are entrusted with distributing fertilisers of KRIBHCO and IFFCO. 40% quota of private sector too has been diverted to cooperative societies so that farmers in remote and far-flung areas benefited. Data shows agriculture department allocated 6.84 lakh metric tonnes urea to cooperative societies till Jul. Against this, 3.75 lakh MT was distributed while remaining 3.09 LMT is in buffer of societies.
