Durg. Durg. Collector Abhijeet Singh today reviewed the progress of farmer registration (farmer registry) by holding a meeting of the revenue officers of the district in the Collectorate hall.

Collector Abhijeet said that farmer registration is an important step towards digitization of the agriculture sector, which will increase transparency and the benefits of government schemes will reach the farmers directly.

There will be a facility to register the name of the heir landowner in place of the deceased landowner. Each plot will be registered in the name of one or more landholders. Aadhaar number of each landowner will be entered. It will be automatically updated when land records are corrected through purchase, sale, inheritance or partition of land.
