Farmer Ids Have Been Created For 7,33,083 Farmers In The State So Far

02 April 2026, Chandigarh: Haryana’s Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister, Mr. Shyam Singh Rana said that continuous efforts are being made to ensure transparency and effectiveness in schemes related to farmers in the state. In Haryana, there are a total of 20,82,596 beneficiaries under the PM-Kisan scheme, out of which 16,33,297 farmers have active accounts. So far, Farmer IDs have been created for 7,33,083 farmers, which is approximately 45 percent of the total work.

Shyam Singh Rana stated this today while participating via video conference from Chandigarh in a meeting organized by Union Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan with agriculture ministers of various states regarding Farmer ID and fertilizers.

He said that through the ‘Meri Fasal Mera Byora’ portal, a complete record of farmers in the state has already been prepared. The portal contains details such as whether the land is owned or leased and which crop has been sown in the field.

Fertilizers are provided to farmers according to their crops

He further informed that the supply of fertilizers has now also been linked to this portal. Under this system, farmers are provided fertilizers based on the crops they cultivate, ensuring that the correct quantity is supplied as per requirement. Earlier, fertilizers were distributed based on Aadhaar cards, which did not ensure proper utilization. Now, fertilizers are provided only to those farmers who own land, thereby preventing misuse.

Haryana saves over ₹500 crore in central fertilizer subsidy

Shyam Singh Rana stated that this new system has promoted the proper use of fertilizers and reduced unnecessary consumption. He added that if a complete prior record of crops and their fertilizer requirements is developed in the future, fertilizer management can be further improved. He also mentioned that Haryana has saved more than ₹500 crore in the central government’s fertilizer subsidy this time, reflecting the success of this system.

He said that the state government will soon launch an awareness campaign for the welfare of farmers. Scientists from universities, ICAR, and officials from various departments will visit villages to provide information about agricultural schemes and the latest technologies in farming, helping to increase farmers’ income.

Union Minister congratulates Chief Minister and Agriculture Minister

On this occasion, Union Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan appreciated the Haryana government, stating that ‘Meri Fasal Mera Byora’ is an exemplary initiative. It paves the way for balanced use of fertilizers and conservation of government resources. He congratulated Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini and Agriculture Minister Shyam Singh Rana for this initiative and expressed hope that this model could be implemented across the country.
