and Depoliticisation Changing Profile of Credit Co-operatives in Rural Haryana Surinder S Jodhka Based on a field-study of three villages and three primary agricultural credit societies (PACS) from an agriculturally developed district of Haryana, the article argues that the green revolution technology and the introduction of a new organisational structure in 1976 have brought about significant changes in the working of credit co-operatives.
