Farmer ID Registration Accelerates in Rajasthan: Benefits and Update Process

The process of creating Farmer IDs is progressing rapidly in Rajasthan and several other states. Since February 5, the government has set up camps at the panchayat level, where officials are assisting farmers in obtaining their IDs. Farmers can visit their local gram panchayat to get their ID registered.

Essential Documents for Farmer ID:

To apply for a Farmer ID, farmers must provide their Aadhaar card and a linked mobile number. Additionally, land records (Khasra-Khatauni) details are required.

Updating Land Records After ID Creation:

If any modifications are needed in the Khasra-Khatauni after obtaining the Farmer ID, farmers can contact their patwari, land surveyor, or tehsildar to ensure their records remain up to date.

What is the Farmer Registry?

The Farmer Registry is an initiative under the Agristack project, launched by the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers’ Welfare. It digitally records farmers' land and crop details and assigns them a unique 11-digit Farmer ID linked to their Aadhaar. This ID is verified through e-signatures and serves as a digital identity for farmers.

Key Benefits of the Farmer ID:

1. Easy access to government schemes and services
2. Automatic enrollment in PM-Kisan and other welfare programs
3. Hassle-free sale of crops at Minimum Support Price (MSP)
4. Digital access to crop insurance schemes
5. Faster approval of Kisan Credit Card (KCC) loans
6. Wider access to agricultural markets and services
7. Expert consultation on soil and crop conditions
8. Fair distribution of government benefits to eligible farmers

The Farmer ID system will streamline access to government schemes, ensuring transparency and efficiency in the agricultural sector.
