Sri Vijaya Puram, Nov. 11: The Department of Agriculture has appealed to all eligible farmers across the A&N Islands to complete their Farmer Registry enrolment on or before Nov. 30, 2026 to ensure uninterrupted access to Government schemes, subsidies and agricultural services.
The Farmer Registry is being implemented under the Government of India’s Digital Agriculture Mission as part of the AgriStack initiative, with the objective of establishing a verified digital identity for every farmer and facilitating seamless delivery of Government benefits.
The Department has clarified that Farmer ID registration is mandatory for availing benefits under all Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS). As advised by the Ministry, benefits under Government schemes, including subsidized fertilizer booking, will be stopped for farmers who do not possess a valid Farmer ID. Further, farmers who fail to complete their enrolment may face disruption in the receipt of agricultural inputs and PM-KISAN benefits from the upcoming Rabi Season 2027. The Department has therefore urged all eligible farmers to accord priority to their registration within the stipulated timeline.
To facilitate the enrolment process, the Department has made arrangements through Agriculture Sub-Depots, designated enrolment centres and special Farmer Registry camps being organised across the Islands. Farmers may visit their nearest Agriculture Sub-Depot, Common Service Centre (CSC) or Farmer Registry camp along with the necessary details and supporting documents to complete their registration.
The Department of Agriculture has appealed to all eligible farmers to cooperate with the field functionaries and make full use of the enrolment facilities available across the Islands to achieve 100% coverage under the Farmer Registry.
