AgriStack
Digital Public Infrastructure for Agriculture
AgriStack is India's agricultural Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), modeled on the India Stack concept (Aadhaar-based identity, UPI for payments, DigiLocker for documents). It creates three foundational registries — Farmers Registry, Geo-Referenced Village Maps, and Crop Sown Registry — all maintained by state governments and union territories. The Farmer ID is a unique digital identifier that links farmers to their land records, financial details, and government schemes.
- Farmers Registry: Unique Farmer IDs linked to Aadhaar, land records, and bank accounts. Target: 11 crore (110 million) Farmer IDs by 2026-27. As of February 2026, over 8.48 crore Farmer IDs generated.
- Geo-Referenced Village Maps: Digitized cadastral maps enabling plot-level identification for targeted scheme delivery.
- Crop Sown Registry: Created through Digital Crop Survey — ground-level documentation of which crop is sown on which plot in each season. Kharif 2025 survey covered 604 districts and 28.5 crore plots.
- Farmer ID enables seamless integration of Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) schemes including PM-KISAN (Rs. 6,000/year to eligible farmer families), PM Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), and other agricultural subsidies.
- Digital Agriculture Mission budget: Rs. 1,076 crore released to six states (UP, MP, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh) as of March 2025.
