Farmer registry to link Uttar Pradesh schemes, says Yogi Adityanath, with priority procurement access

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said the farmer registry will help deliver agriculture scheme benefits transparently and on time. He ordered integration across related departments so registered farmers receive priority procurement for wheat, pulses, and oilseeds, plus access to seeds, fertilisers, crop protection chemicals, and equipment. Districts will run gram panchayat camps to speed enrolment.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said the farmer registry will help deliver scheme benefits clearly and on time. An official statement said the registry should be linked with agriculture and related schemes. The aim is to give registered farmers priority in support and procurement, while improving transparency in delivery.

During a review meeting, Adityanath asked officials to speed up registration across all districts. The work should run in campaign mode, as per the directions. Adityanath also said special camps should be held at every gram panchayat. The camps should fix registration issues and raise farmer participation.

Farmer registry link with agriculture schemes

According to the statement, Adityanath directed integration with all agriculture and allied department schemes. Registered farmers should get priority access to procurement of wheat, pulses and oilseeds. The linked system should also support delivery of seeds and fertilisers. It should cover crop protection chemicals and farm equipment too.

Adityanath stressed that farmers should enrol regardless of landholding size. The registry should help farmers access the full range of benefits. Officials were asked to encourage broad enrolment across districts. The focus remained on removing barriers that stop small and marginal farmers from registering.
