State-Wise Rollout of AgriStack India Begins: Digital Revolution in Indian Agriculture
The Government of India has officially started the state-wise rollout of AgriStack, a comprehensive digital database aimed at transforming Indian agriculture. This initiative is designed to digitize farmer records, improve subsidy distribution, and integrate land records with Aadhaar-linked farmer IDs. The phased rollout is currently underway across several states, starting with Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Rajasthan.
With AgriStack India, farmers will be able to register online, verify their land ownership digitally, and seamlessly access government schemes like PM-KISAN, Kisan Credit Card (KCC), and agricultural subsidies.
🚀 What is AgriStack India?
AgriStack India is a centralized digital infrastructure that aims to streamline agricultural data, improve financial assistance for farmers, and create a unified database for government support programs.
📌 Key Features of AgriStack India:
✅ One Nation, One Farmer ID – Every farmer gets a unique digital ID linked to Aadhaar.
✅ Integration with Land Records – Land ownership verified through state Bhulekh portals (e.g., Mahabhulekh, AnyROR, Apna Khata).
✅ Seamless Access to Government Schemes – Faster approvals for PM-KISAN, crop insurance, and farm loan waivers.
✅ Digital Payments & DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) – Subsidies are credited directly to the farmer’s bank account.
✅ Real-Time Crop Monitoring & Advisory Services – AI-powered insights for better yield predictions and farming techniques.
With AgriStack, the government aims to create a transparent, efficient, and farmer-friendly agricultural ecosystem.
📍 State-Wise Rollout of AgriStack India: Where Has It Started?
The AgriStack India rollout is happening in phases, starting with states that already have digitized land records and farmer databases.
🟢 Phase 1 (2024-2025) – Initial Rollout in Digitally-Ready States
| State | AgriStack Portal | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Maharashtra | mhfr.agristack.gov.in | Integrated with Mahabhulekh (7/12 Land Records). |
| Uttar Pradesh | upfr.agristack.gov.in | Linked to Bhulekh UP for digital land verification. |
| Madhya Pradesh | mpfr.agristack.gov.in | Ensures PM-KISAN eligibility via Aadhaar linking. |
| Gujarat | gujfr.agristack.gov.in | Tied to AnyROR land records for ownership verification. |
| Rajasthan | rjfr.agristack.gov.in | Uses Apna Khata for land integration. |
📌 Why These States First?
- These states already have well-maintained digital land records.
- They have a high number of PM-KISAN beneficiaries who can quickly transition to the new system.
- Government agricultural schemes are already linked to DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) mechanisms in these regions.
🟡 Phase 2 (2025-2026) – States with Partial Digital Infrastructure
States that are still updating their digital land records will be included in Phase 2 of AgriStack India. These include:
- Punjab – Home to large-scale farmers, but manual land records still dominate.
- Haryana – Strong subsidy distribution system, but Aadhaar-land linking is incomplete.
- Bihar – Large number of small-scale farmers; still transitioning to digital land records.
- West Bengal – Limited PM-KISAN adoption due to incomplete farmer data.
- Tamil Nadu & Karnataka – Advanced agricultural states but require further integration.
📌 Challenges in Phase 2:
- Updating land ownership details in state Bhulekh portals.
- Ensuring all farmers are Aadhaar-linked for direct benefits.
- Integrating crop monitoring systems with AgriStack.
🔴 Phase 3 (2026-2027) – Full Nationwide Implementation
The final phase will cover North-Eastern states, Jharkhand, Odisha, Kerala, and other regions where land records are still largely paper-based. The government will work on:
✔ Digitizing land records completely before onboarding farmers.
✔ Providing technical training for CSC centers to help farmers register.
✔ Improving internet connectivity in rural and tribal areas.
