Goal to Register 2.88 Crore Farmers
The government aims to register 2.88 crore farmers. So far, about 1.45 crore farmers have been registered, which is more than 50 percent of the target.

100 percent Document Verification in Some Districts
In some districts like Amroha, Azamgarh, Balrampur, Etah, and Jaunpur, 100 percent verification of farmers' documents has already been done by local officers.
Focus on Backward Districts
District officers will now pay more attention to backward districts where farmer registration is low. The government has also asked for strong IEC activities (Information, Education & Communication) to spread awareness.
Before PM-Kisan Next Installment
