Bihar gears up for a transformative phase in agricultural digitization, as revealed in Chief Secretary Pratyay Amrit’s comprehensive AgriStack review. Presentations highlighted milestones and set aggressive timelines.
Mission-mode farmer registry operations begin February 2 across districts, focusing on PM Kisan enrollees. Via video link, Amrit instructed DMs to prioritize and hasten progress for phase advancement.
Financial prizes incentivize success: Rs 1.5 lakh for 50% targets met, Rs 50,000 for 35%. This competitive framework drives results.
Farmer registry is now fee-free, with departments covering prior Rs 15 charges at CSCs and Vasudha Kendras, maximizing accessibility.
Principal Secretary Narmdeshwar Lal stressed universal Farmer IDs for raiyats, streamlining scheme deliveries transparently and efficiently.
The initiative’s effectiveness was lauded nationally in Delhi, positioning Bihar as a blueprint for others.
Chief Secretary spotlighted high-achievers Vaishali, Sheohar, Begusarai, Buxar, Sheikhpura, and Katihar, congratulating their teams.
With these measures, Bihar aims to empower farmers through technology, ensuring inclusive development.
