The Jammu and Kashmir government’s digital agriculture initiative has issued 7.59 lakh farmer identification numbers and completed a survey of 30.27 lakh land parcels across the union territory.
The state government of Jammu and Kashmir has rolled out a large‑scale digital agriculture programme aimed at modernising land records and extending targeted support to cultivators. Under the scheme, each farmer is allotted a unique identification number that links to a central database of land holdings.
According to the latest figures released by the agriculture department, 7.59 lakh farmer IDs have been generated so far. In parallel, field teams have surveyed 30.27 lakh parcels of agricultural land, updating ownership, cropping patterns and irrigation status.
Officials say the comprehensive dataset will enable precision‑farming advisories, better subsidy allocation and streamlined credit delivery. The initiative is also expected to reduce disputes over land titles and improve the accuracy of government schemes aimed at the farming community.
