Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, August 21, 2026: Haryana Chief Minister, Nayab Singh Saini, on Friday directed all districts to complete the targeted registration of farmers on the AgriStack platform within the next three days, setting August 24 evening as the deadline. He directed Deputy Commissioners to assign specific targets to officials and employees of the Revenue and Agriculture Departments and ensure that the registration drive is completed on a war footing.
The AgriStack platform has been developed by the Central Government to enable farmers to access benefits under various Central and State Government schemes swiftly and effectively. Farmers registered on the platform will be provided a unique Farmer ID, while their agricultural land parcels will be linked with digital records.
The Chief Minister issued these directions while reviewing the progress of AgriStack, Digital Crop Survey and Auto-Mutation at a meeting held at the Haryana Civil Secretariat. Chief Secretary, Sh. Anurag Rastogi; Additional Chief Secretary, Revenue Department, Dr. Sumita Misra; Director General, Agriculture Department, Sh. Raj Narayan Kaushik; and Deputy Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister and Director, Consolidation of Holdings and Land Records, Dr. Yash Pal Yadav, were present at the meeting. Deputy Commissioners, DROs and Deputy Directors of Agriculture from all districts attended the meeting virtually.
Reviewing the progress of all three initiatives, namely AgriStack, Digital Crop Survey and Auto-Mutation, the Chief Minister sought explanations from Deputy Commissioners of districts where progress was slow.
Sh. Nayab Singh Saini directed all districts to achieve the prescribed targets by the evening of August 24. He said he would personally review the progress on August 24. Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi, will himself hold a review meeting on August 25, he said, directing all officers to take responsibility and work towards meeting the targets within the stipulated timeframe.
AgriStack to Create Unique Farmer ID and Digitally Link Agricultural Land
The Chief Minister said the Central Government has introduced AgriStack to ensure that benefits under various schemes reach farmers effectively. Under the platform, every farmer is being provided a unique Farmer ID, while parcels of agricultural land belonging to the farmer are linked with digital land records.
The platform will maintain a digital record of which crop has been sown by a farmer in a particular field. It will also facilitate digital and geographical mapping of villages and agricultural land.
Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said AgriStack will help deliver services under PM-KISAN, crop insurance, agricultural credit, MSP-based procurement, distribution of fertilisers and seeds, and other government schemes more effectively to eligible farmers.
Prioritise Digital Crop Survey and Auto-Mutation- CM
The Chief Minister also directed all Deputy Commissioners to accord priority to completing the Digital Crop Survey and Auto-Mutation work so that people do not have to make repeated rounds of government offices for their work and are able to avail themselves of the benefits of all government schemes.
Farmers Should Register on AgriStack on Priority
Additional Chief Secretary, Revenue Department, Dr. Sumita Misra, said officials of the Revenue and Agriculture Departments should also make farmers aware that no farmer registered on the AgriStack platform will be deprived of benefits under any other scheme.
She said farmers who do not register on the AgriStack platform may face difficulties in accessing agriculture-related schemes of the Central and State Governments. She, therefore, urged all farmers to get themselves registered on the AgriStack platform on priority.
Digital Crop Survey Underway Across Haryana
Dr. Sumita Misra said the Digital Crop Survey (DCS) is a GPS-based crop survey in Haryana under which information relating to crop sowing at the field level is recorded along with geo-referenced data.
The DCS-2026 survey commenced on August 16, 2026 and will be carried out across Haryana until September 30. Officials and employees of the Agriculture Department and Patwaris are involved in carrying out the survey at the field level.
