Farmers across Uttar Pradesh have until December 31, 2024, to register for the Agri Stack Scheme, which includes the creation of a unique Farmer ID (Kisan Registry). This digital initiative aims to ensure that farmers can easily access benefits from both Central and State Government schemes, such as:

• Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN)
• Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY)
• Pradhan Mantri Kisan Mandhan Yojana (PM-KMY)

What is Farmer ID and Why is it Important?

The Uttar Pradesh government, under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, is implementing the Farmer Registry to create a transparent and efficient system for distributing agricultural benefits. This initiative is part of the Agri Stack Scheme and provides a digital ID for every farm. Only registered farmers will be eligible for financial assistance, insurance, subsidies, and other welfare schemes.

The Farmer ID will include details such as the farmer's name, Aadhaar number, mobile number, land ownership records, and e-KYC information.

Progress Across Districts

As of December 28, 2024, significant progress has been made:

• Jaunpur District leads the state with 1,09,048 Farmer IDs created.
• Rampur follows in second place with 92,026 IDs, and Ambedkar Nagar is third with 66,115 IDs.
• Maharajganj and Pilibhit secure fourth and fifth places with 66,550 IDs and 50,399 IDs, respectively.

District Magistrates are actively organizing camps and campaigns to encourage registration in rural areas.

Why Farmers Should Act Now

Registering in the Farmer Registry ensures access to financial assistance, crop insurance, and other welfare benefits. It also reduces paperwork and delays in receiving grants.

Farmers who fail to register by December 31, 2024, will not be able to avail themselves of the benefits of the schemes in the future.
