Unique ID for Farmers: Aadhaar-like Registry to Revolutionize Agriculture
•A 'Unique Farmer ID' will be created for every farmer, similar to Aadhaar, storing personal info, land records, and crop details digitally.
•This digital registry will streamline government benefits like PM-Kisan, crop insurance, and subsidized fertilizers, reducing paperwork and corruption.
•Banks can instantly verify land records, making Kisan Credit Card (KCC) and other agricultural loans faster and easier for farmers.
•The system will help assess disaster damage quickly, ensuring faster relief funds and insurance claims for affected farmers.
•Farmers need Aadhaar, linked mobile, land record (Khatoni), and bank passbook for e-KYC registration, available online or at CSCs.
