68,62,596. That is the number of land parcels digitised across J&K's 20 districts, according to a review meeting chaired by Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo, reported by Greater Kashmir. It is the base of AgriStack, the government's digital registry of farmers and their land.
What AgriStack is made of
- Farmer ID: a digital ID for each farmer. 1,21,472 have been generated across 1,663 villages.
- ULPIN: a unique number for each land parcel. 33,47,011 had been generated as of 25 September.
- Digital map: cadastral maps digitised through BhuNaksha.
- Digital Crop Survey: 30,61,696 plots done, 96.55% of the target.
- Lending link: integration with the RBI's Unified Lending Interface.
Where the work stands
57,30,681 khasras (land records) have been approved, 80.7% of the base. Jammu division stands at 80.8% and Kashmir at 80.5%. Deputy Commissioners were told to submit weekly progress reports, carry out frequent field inspections, and prioritise farmers in villages over exceptional cases. The report mentions no deadline.
Why a young Jammu reader should care
If your family farms land in the Jammu belt, a Farmer ID is the document the registry is built around, and the link to the lending interface is meant to make credit easier to reach. For agri-startups, a clean parcel and crop dataset is the raw material. It follows our explainer on J&K's digitised land records. Details such as how to register, or what benefits are tied to the ID, were not part of the report and we have not assumed them.
