Uttar Pradesh Links Farmer Registry to All Agri Schemes as Camps Run Through April 15

The linkage moves registered growers to the front of queues for procurement and key inputs.

Overview

  • Adityanath's government, in a Monday review meeting, ordered the registry linked to all agriculture schemes and directed districts to run gram panchayat camps statewide through April 15.
  • Each camp registers farmers then and there, fixes name or document errors on the spot, and explains the paperwork needed.
  • Lekhpal officers must staff at least one camp per panchayat as gram pradhans and panchayat secretaries lead the drive, and revenue and agriculture departments were told to work in sync.
  • Officials report 1,72,06,355 farmers already linked to the database, with the push targeting remaining eligible growers before the deadline.
  • Observers describe the timing as village outreach before three-tier panchayat polls, while the state casts the effort as a transparency push backed by top officials.
