Apart from this, chip-based I-Cards will also be issued which will help government identify genuine farmers.
“We are busy developing the portals and I-Cards. These cards will contain all details of a farmer, such as Aadhar number, bank details, mobile number and land records,” agriculture director Nisha Oraon told the media on Thursday.
As per an estimate, there are around 58 lakh (5.8 million) farmers in Jharkhand.
