Jagran correspondent, Bhagalpur. Due to the slow progress of Farmer Registration (FR) of farmers, the administration has now decided to do it in camp mode. In this sequence, an important meeting was organized at Sabour block headquarters on Friday, in which personnel of concerned departments, local public representatives and a large number of farmers were present.
Presiding over the meeting, BDO Prabhat Ranjan made it clear that e-KYC and farmer registration of farmers will be done by organizing camps continuously in the panchayats of the block from 17 to 21 January.
He said that e-KYC will be done compulsorily for the farmers associated with the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana as well as all other farmers, so that no eligible farmer is deprived of the scheme.
BDO said that the farmer registration of the farmers who have their own Jamabandi in their name will be done directly by the revenue employees. To make the work smooth and effective, a nodal officer will be deployed on every three Panchayats.
Apart from this, three teams have been formed in each Panchayat, which will include farmer advisor, agriculture coordinator, development friend, revenue employee and survey minister.
According to the data, 6,172 farmers in Sabour block are associated with the Prime Minister Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Of these, e-KYC of 4,600 farmers has been completed so far, while farmer registration of only about two thousand farmers has been completed. Considering this situation as serious, BDO said that work will be done on war footing to achieve 100 percent target.
An appeal was also made to the farmers present in the meeting to reach the camp on the scheduled dates with the necessary documents and get their e-KYC and farmer registration done. The administration also clarified that if the process is not completed within the stipulated time frame, farmers may face difficulty in getting the benefits of the schemes.
CO Saurav Kumar, BAO Sanjeev Kumar Pal, MO Amresh Kumar, officers, employees and dozens of public representatives from various departments were present on the occasion. After the meeting, the strategy for organizing the camp was finalized so that all the facilities could be provided to the farmers at one place.
