Farmers' Service Societies (FSS) were introduced as rural financial institutions to extend credit and services like modern inputs and commodity marketing, especially to rural poor and weaker sections. FSS aim to improve access to formal credit for these groups and organize resistance to village moneylenders. They operate in larger areas than previous cooperatives to serve more neglected populations. Management boards must reserve two-thirds of positions for weaker sections. FSS were created because multi-purpose cooperatives had not diversified operations like commodity marketing and processing or sufficiently reached weaker sections while remaining financially viable. FSS provide credit, input, marketing and processing services.

introduced for reasons such as extending credit integrated with modern inputs and commodity markets related services, improving rural poor's share in formal credit and organizing a force to counter the power of village moneylenders.
A significant development in the matter of
arrangements for providing credit & allied facilities to the economically weaker section of the rural community .
Development of the society at large.
Well being of their members.
Area of operation in 10-20 villages instead of 5-8
villages. Membership will be more oriented to the hitherto neglected weaker sections of the rural population.
Management is to be vested with the weaker section
by reserving two third of the board of management for them.
By early 1970s, it was found that multi-purpose
PACS had not succeeded much in diversifying their operations, especially commodity marketing and processing, in reaching the weaker sections and in becoming viable. For these reasons, among others, the National Commission on Agriculture recommended introduction of farmers' service societies (FSS).
