Telangana Government Takes Another Key Decision on Cooperative Bodies

After dissolving the elected managing committees of Primary Agricultural Cooperative Credit Societies (PACS) and District Cooperative Central Banks (DCCBs) across the state on December 19, the Telangana government has taken another significant step in restructuring the cooperative sector.

The government has decided to constitute nominated managing committees for cooperative societies instead of restoring elected bodies immediately. These appointments will be made on the lines of Agricultural Market Committees. The objective is to complete the formation of the new managing committees by Sankranti.

Each PACS will have a 13-member managing committee, comprising a chairman, vice-chairman, and 11 directors. Out of these, three director posts will be reserved for SC, ST, and BC categories. Only farmers who are registered members of the respective societies will be eligible for inclusion in the committees.

The government stated that the decision to dissolve the earlier elected bodies of PACS and DCCBs was taken to avoid election-related expenses and internal disputes, and to ensure smoother administration of cooperative institutions.
