KUPWARA: Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Karnah, Firdous Ahmad Qadri accompanied by Tehsildar Karnah today inspected the Farmer ID Generation Camps being organised at various locations across the Karnah Sub-Division to review the progress of the ongoing registration process and assess the arrangements being made for facilitating farmers.

During the inspection, the SDM interacted with the officials and field functionaries deployed at the camps and took stock of the progress achieved in generating Farmer IDs. He emphasised the importance of ensuring that every eligible farmer is covered under the registration exercise so that they can avail the benefits of various government schemes and agriculture-related services.

The SDM directed the concerned Revenue and Agriculture Department officials to maintain close coordination and ensure that the registration process is carried out smoothly, efficiently and without causing inconvenience to the farming community. He stressed the need for special attention towards residents of remote and far-flung areas, ensuring that no eligible farmer is left out due to geographical constraints or connectivity-related issues.

Special arrangements are also being coordinated for residents of remote villages, including Jabdi, where the absence of mobile network connectivity poses challenges to online registration. Accordingly, a dedicated camp has been facilitated at Toli with the support and cooperation of the Army authorities stationed there. Residents of Jabdi have been informed to reach the designated location to complete their Farmer ID registration.

The SDM appreciated the coordinated efforts of the Revenue, Agriculture and other concerned departments, along with the support extended by the Army authorities, in facilitating the initiative in the geographically challenging areas of Karnah.

He reiterated that the administration remains committed to ensuring saturation of eligible beneficiaries under the Farmer ID initiative and directed the concerned teams to complete the exercise in a time-bound manner with due diligence and accuracy.
