Chitrakoot: No Fertilizer Without Farmer Registry, Agriculture Dept. Acts Swiftly

• Chitrakoot district administration mandates Farmer Registry for fertilizer purchase, replacing Aadhaar and land record system.
• The new system aims to identify eligible farmers, prevent black marketing, and ensure transparent fertilizer distribution.
• Farmers must register to receive fertilizer from cooperative societies or private shops.
• Registration can be done at Public Service Centers, Agriculture Department offices, or Revenue Department with Aadhaar, linked mobile, and land record.
• Deputy Director of Agriculture Rajkumar urges farmers to complete registry promptly to avoid fertilizer supply issues.

Why It Matters: Chitrakoot makes Farmer Registry mandatory for fertilizer, ensuring transparency and curbing black marketing.
