Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has stressed the need to undertake a comprehensive study for improving the functioning of the District Cooperative Marketing Societies (DCMS) in the backdrop of the Primary Agricultural Cooperative Societies (PACS) being linked to the Rythu Bharosa Kendras (RBKs).
At a review meeting held at his camp office, near here, on Thursday, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said the study was needed to support the farming community and women self-help groups by extending them loans at low interest rates and handholding them in their activities.
“Since RBKs are functioning like branches of APCOB and DCCBs, and with every PACS having jurisdiction over three to four RBKs, the functioning of the DCMS should also be improved to suit the changed circumstances,” he said.
