<h1>State launches cooperative membership drive to expand PACS, formalize member rights, e-KYC, warehouses, and probe past corruption</h1> State chief minister launched a statewide cooperative membership drive accusing the opposition of corrupting the sector and pledged that central and state authorities will expose past misdeeds while strengthening cooperatives. The campaign seeks to expand Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS), form new PACS, allocate land for warehouses, promote e-KYC and Aadhaar seeding to clear pending PM-Kisan applications, and raise awareness of a proposed cooperative law designed to increase transparency and efficiency. Legally, the initiative foregrounds regulatory reform, potential investigations into prior governance, expanded eligibility and formalization of member rights, and administrative facilitation of subsidy access.
