Farmers Urged to Register Crops, Landholdings on e-Panta
Farmers in Andhra Pradesh are being asked to put their crop and land information on a government website called e-Panta.
They are also being asked to finish a digital identity check called e-KYC.
This information helps the government provide support such as crop insurance, loans and subsidies.
Farmers can enter the information themselves or get help from local agriculture centers.
Private surveyors can also help when the other options are not available.
So far, 5,744 farmers have entered details for 10,226 landholdings themselves.
About 38 lakh farmers are registered, but only around 3% have finished e-KYC.
Farmers with crop insurance should also register their crops and connect all their land to their Farmer ID.
Agriculture Director Dr Manazir Jeelani Samoon urged farmers to register crops and landholdings on e-Panta and complete e-KYC.
e-Panta data is used for crop procurement, input subsidies, agricultural credit, crop insurance and welfare schemes.
Farmers can register independently, with Rythu Seva Kendra staff, or through private surveyors when necessary.
A total of 5,744 farmers have self-registered 10,226 landholdings so far.
Of about 38 lakh farmers registered on e-Panta, only 1,10,550—around 3%—have completed e-KYC.
