The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare (MoA&FW) has asked the states to organize camps to ensure a faster generation of Farmer ID. Known as Kisan Pehchaan Patra or Farmer ID is an Aadhaar-linked unique digital identity that is linked dynamically to the state’s land records, besides having information like demographic, crops sown and ownership details.
The database created through the Farmer ID will be known as Farmer’ registry — one of the three registries under Agri Stack component of the Centre’s Digital Agriculture Mission for creation of digital public infrastructure in the farm sector, which was approved by the Union Cabinet earlier this year.
