The Uttar Pradesh government will launch a state-wide campaign from September 16 to achieve 100 per cent farmer registration.
Acting on Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s instructions, district magistrates will review progress daily in the run-up to the drive.
The Revenue Department has been directed to issue standard operating procedures (SOPs) to revenue officers to ensure correction of land ownership records in line with Aadhaar.
The government has set a target of registering over 2.88 crore farmers. So far, around 1.45 crore farmers, more than 50 per cent of the target, have been registered, officials said here on Wednesday.
Bijnor leads the state with over 58% registrations, followed by Hardoi (57.84%), Shravasti (57.47%), Pilibhit (56.89%) and Rampur (56.72%), placing them among the top five districts in farmer registration.
For farmers who are yet to be registered, field officers are verifying their credentials. In districts such as Amroha, Azamgarh, Balrampur, Etah and Jaunpur, 100% verification has already been completed.
The government has directed all district magistrates to ensure full coverage before the release of the next installment under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-Kisan).
DMs have also been asked to carry out extensive IEC (Information, Education and Communication) activities, while ground-level officials will focus on lagging districts to achieve complete registration.
