The ongoing farmer registration campaign in the state achieved a significant milestone today, crossing the 50 percent mark of registration against the PM Kisan target. A special campaign was being run under Mission Mode-3 till February 14, but the department achieved this target by Saturday morning at 10 am, before the scheduled date. According to the latest figures, against a total of 85,53,570 PM Kisan beneficiaries in the state, the Farmer Registration (FR) enrollment of 43,04,548 farmers has been completed, representing a 50.3 percent success. This success paves the way for the state to receive the second installment of Rs 450 crore from the central government.
Under the campaign, enrollment camps were organized in the districts, in which revenue officials, circle officers, agriculture officers, and all district administration participated. Several districts showed impressive performance. Vaishali is at the top with 102 percent success, while districts like Sheohar, Begusarai, Katihar, and Buxar have also made progress close to or above the target. Under the PM Kisan-linked farmer registration, 22,51,639 farmers have been enrolled, representing 26.32 percent. According to department officials, special attention is now being focused on enrolling the remaining farmers so that the 100 percent target can be achieved soon.
Under Mission Mode-3, the department adopted a strategy of continuous monitoring at the regional level, daily review, and camp-based campaigns. Achieving 50 percent of the target by 10 am has created an atmosphere of excitement in the official system. Officials say that this success is the result of the state government's commitment, the activism of the district administration, and the continuous hard work of the revenue staff. The campaign will be further accelerated in the coming days, and the remaining farmers will be enrolled, ensuring that the benefits of schemes reach the vegetable farmers of the state in a transparent and timely manner.
