72 million IDs created in 14 states so far
FIVE MORE STATES — Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Jammu and Kashmir — will join the government's flagship scheme that seeks to provide unique IDs for farmers.
According to official sources, 14 states have so far provided over 72 million such IDs also referred to as Kisan Pehchaan Patra.
The target is to issue 90 million such IDs by the end of FY26 and 110 million in another one year, so that it is easier for policymakers capture farmer demographic profiles, landholdings, and cropping patterns.
The facility is also expected to enable states to design targeted schemes.
