Sri Vijaya Puram, November 11: The Department of Agriculture has asked all eligible farmers in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands to complete their enrolment in the Farmer Registry on or before November 30, 2026, to ensure uninterrupted access to Government schemes, subsidies and agricultural services.
The Farmer Registry is being implemented under the Government of India’s Digital Agriculture Mission as part of the AgriStack initiative. It aims to give every farmer a verified digital identity and to make the delivery of Government benefits seamless.
The Department said Farmer ID registration is mandatory for benefits under all Centrally Sponsored Schemes. As advised by the Ministry, benefits under Government schemes, including subsidised fertiliser booking, will be stopped for farmers who do not have a valid Farmer ID. Farmers who do not complete enrolment may also face disruption in the supply of agricultural inputs and in PM-KISAN benefits from the Rabi Season 2027. The Department has urged farmers to register within the deadline.
Enrolment is available at Agriculture Sub-Depots, designated enrolment centres and special Farmer Registry camps across the Islands. Farmers may visit their nearest Agriculture Sub-Depot, Common Service Centre (CSC) or Farmer Registry camp with the required details and supporting documents. The Department has asked farmers to cooperate with field staff so that the registry achieves 100 per cent coverage.
