Chief Secretary Pratyay Amrit’s oversight has injected fresh momentum into Bihar’s AgriStack rollout. The review meeting delved into achievements and charted a path for rapid expansion through farmer registries.
Intensive registration campaigns from February 2-6 will operate in mission mode statewide, linking PM Kisan beneficiaries to digital platforms. Amrit urged District Magistrates to accelerate efforts for early phase two entry.
Rewards await top performers: Rs 1.5 lakh for 50% registration success, Rs 50,000 for 35%. Such incentives foster a culture of excellence among districts.
No fees for farmers— the state will bear costs previously levied at Rs 15 by service centers. This policy shift directly aids rural economies.
Every raiyat must get a Farmer ID, as mandated, ensuring schemes reach eligible farmers without delays or corruption. Agriculture Secretary Narmdeshwar Lal emphasized its transformative potential.
Bihar’s model shone at the Ministry’s New Delhi workshop on January 28, inspiring peer states. Standout districts Vaishali, Sheohar, Begusarai, Buxar, Sheikhpura, and Katihar earned Chief Secretary’s applause.
This strategic push positions Bihar as a leader in agritech, promising equitable growth for its agrarian base.
