11 crore farmers now have Aadhaar-like digital Farmer IDs

The Union Agriculture Ministry says it has created 11 crore Farmer IDs, hitting its target five months before the March 31, 2027 deadline. The Aadhaar-like digital identity is linked to state land records and holds details such as crops sown and ownership. Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said it will cut repeated visits to government offices and banks for schemes.
