Jagran correspondent, Banda. Farmer Registry remains a dream for farmers. In the Farmer Registry which has been running for more than one and a half years, till now only about 75 percent of the farmers in the five tehsils of the district have been able to qualify to avail the benefits of the government schemes. Presently 25 percent farmers are not able to get farmer registry.
If farmer registration of these remaining farmers is not done in the month of March, then Kisan Samman Nidhi will be closed. There are a total of 2,51,390 farmers registered in the district. Of these, farmer registration of 1,88,708 has been done, while farmer registration of 62,682 farmers is still not done.
Due to differences in the Aadhaar cards and names of these farmers in Khatauni etc. and the Bhulekh of 211 villages not being visible online, the pace of Farmer Registry is running on the lines of nine and a half miles. Various schemes are being run for farmers including Prime Minister Kisan Samman Nidhi, Crop Loan, Prime Minister Crop Insurance Compensation, Disaster Relief.
In order to bring transparency and provide benefits to all the farmers, also to solve the problems arising out of land disputes among the farmers etc. and to prepare the data of the farmers with every same name and father's name from the Bhulekh Department of the Revenue Department and make it available online to the state, it was made mandatory for the farmers to get the farmer registration done in the month of September last year, but even after more than one and a half years, the registry of 25 percent farmers is still pending.
If the registration of these farmers is not done in the month of March, then first of all the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi will be stopped. In the instructions received from the government, it has been clearly said to stop the government schemes.
Farmer Registry became a dream for 62,682 farmers
Farmer Registry still remains a mere dream for 25 percent of the farmers of the district. The work of doing farmer registry of farmers started from July 2024, in which camps were started from December 2024.
Later, the Revenue Department employees went door-to-door to complete farmer registration, but the situation is such that even after more than one and a half years, the work could not be completed. Till now only 75 percent work has been completed.
There are a total of 2,51,390 farmers registered in the district. Of these, farmer registration of 1,88,708 has been done while farmer registration of 62,682 farmers is still not done. Still 25 percent farmers are worried about getting farmer registration done. In this, the data of many revenue villages is not showing in the computer. The problem remains due to difference in name between Aadhaar and Khatauni.
It is mandatory for farmers to get farmer registration done to avail government benefits. Those farmers who do not have farmer registration in March will not get the benefit of any scheme from the month of April. PM Kisan Samman Nidhi will also be stopped.
