Haryana Chief Minister, Nayab Singh Saini, on Friday directed all districts to complete the targeted registration of farmers on the AgriStack platform within the next three days, setting August 24 evening as the deadline. He directed Deputy Commissioners to assign specific targets to officials and employees of the Revenue and Agriculture Departments and ensure that the registration drive is completed on a war footing.
The AgriStack platform has been developed by the Central Government to enable farmers to access benefits under various Central and State Government schemes swiftly and effectively. Farmers registered on the platform will be provided a unique Farmer ID, while their agricultural land parcels will be linked with digital records.
The Chief Minister issued these directions while reviewing the progress of AgriStack, Digital Crop Survey and Auto-Mutation at a meeting held at the Haryana Civil Secretariat. Chief Secretary, Anurag Rastogi; Additional Chief Secretary, Revenue Department, Dr. Sumita Misra; Director General, Agriculture Department, Raj Narayan Kaushik; and Deputy Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister and Director, Consolidation of Holdings and Land Records, Dr. Yash Pal Yadav, were present at the meeting. Deputy Commissioners, DROs and Deputy Directors of Agriculture from all districts attended the meeting virtually.
Reviewing the progress of all three initiatives, namely AgriStack, Digital Crop Survey and Auto-Mutation, the Chief Minister sought explanations from Deputy Commissioners of districts where progress was slow.
Nayab Singh Saini directed all districts to achieve the prescribed targets by the evening of August 24. He said he would personally review the progress on August 24. Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, will himself hold a review meeting on August 25, he said, directing all officers to take responsibility and work towards meeting the targets within the stipulated timeframe.
