Azamgarh's 3 Lakh Farmers Await Registry: Document Mismatch Halts Scheme Benefits

• Over 3 lakh farmers in Azamgarh district are yet to complete their mandatory Farmer Registry, crucial for accessing government agricultural scheme benefits.
• The Farmer Registry aims to digitize farmer records, ensuring transparency and timely delivery of benefits like Kisan Samman Nidhi.
• A major hurdle is the mismatch between names in 'Khatauni' land records and other identification documents like Aadhaar.
• Revenue Department officials (Patwaris, Kanungos) are working to correct 'Khatauni' names, a prerequisite for registry completion.
• Farmers can register via a mobile app, web portal (upfr.agrstack.gov.in), Gram Panchayats, or Common Service Centers.

Why It Matters: Azamgarh faces a challenge with over 3 lakh farmers unable to register due to document mismatches, delaying scheme benefits.
