ANANTNAG, AUGUST 20: Deputy Commissioner Anantnag, Dr. Bilal Mohiuddin Bhat, IAS, today chaired a comprehensive review meeting to assess the progress of AgriStack implementation and other digital agriculture initiatives across the district.
The meeting was attended by both Additional Deputy Commissioners, ACR, SDMs, Tehsildars and other concerned officers.
During the meeting, the Deputy Commissioner reviewed the progress achieved in digitisation, AgriStack implementation and Farmer ID generation. He stressed the need for close coordination among revenue officials, field functionaries and agriculture officers to address bottlenecks and ensure the timely completion of pending work.
The DC directed the concerned officers to expedite the process and set time-bound targets for achieving 100 per cent saturation of farmer profiles. He also called for intensified Farmer ID registration through village-level camps, along with daily monitoring to maintain the quality and accuracy of the data.
The meeting was informed that the implementation of AgriStack has been taken up in mission mode, with the district administration and field functionaries working in a coordinated manner to meet the assigned targets within the stipulated timelines.
Out of a total of 5,02,985 entries pertaining to the district, 3,04,720 entries have been completed so far, representing approximately 60.5 per cent progress. The completed entries are being processed through the prescribed three-tier mechanism of submission, verification and approval.
The Deputy Commissioner placed particular emphasis on quality control, directing officials to ensure thorough verification and accuracy of records before their incorporation into the system. He stressed that reliable and accurate data is essential for the effective delivery of digital agriculture services.
Meanwhile, more than 84 Farmer ID registration camps are currently operational across the district, through which 2,830 registrations have been completed so far. Field teams are continuing their efforts to accelerate the registration process and facilitate greater farmer participation.
The district administration has also undertaken awareness and mobilisation activities in coordination with various departments and field functionaries. These efforts are aimed at sensitising farmers about the importance of Farmer IDs and encouraging them to complete their registration at the earliest.
Reiterating the administration’s commitment to speed, accuracy and quality, the DC directed all concerned to maintain close monitoring and ensure that the assigned targets are achieved within the prescribed timelines.
At the conclusion of the meeting, Dr. Bhat said that AgriStack would serve as an important foundation for modernising the agricultural sector and would provide significant benefits to the farming community by enabling more efficient and targeted delivery of farmer-centric services.
