52,000 Mathura Farmers Yet to Complete Farmer Registry
Mathura, 25 June 2026: More than 52,000 farmers in Mathura district have yet to complete their Farmer Registry, raising concerns over their eligibility for future installments under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme. The Agriculture Department has submitted a detailed progress report to District Magistrate C.P. Singh, who has directed officials to intensify efforts and coordinate with tehsil administrations to complete the pending registrations through a special campaign.
According to the report, around 3.10 lakh farmers are registered under the PM-KISAN scheme in Mathura. Out of these, 2.58 lakh farmers have successfully completed their Farmer Registry, achieving nearly 83 percent coverage. Verification of another 4,039 farmers is still pending. Despite the government’s target of completing the exercise by March, nearly 17 percent of eligible farmers are yet to complete the mandatory process.
The report identifies several reasons behind the delay. Around 19,000 farmers are awaiting completion of inheritance or land share determination (Ansh Nirdharan). Another 10,000 farmers have discrepancies between their names in revenue records and other official documents. Approximately 22,000 farmers fall under other categories, many of whom have not come forward despite their land records being complete.
Agriculture Department officials said that many farmers in the “other” category have expressed concerns that completing the Farmer Registry could automatically result in deductions from their bank accounts towards Kisan Credit Card (KCC) repayments or other liabilities. Officials clarified that awareness efforts are being strengthened to address misconceptions and encourage eligible farmers to complete the registration process.
District Magistrate C.P. Singh has instructed the Agriculture Department and tehsil administrations to work closely to resolve issues related to land share determination and discrepancies in revenue records. He has also directed field-level agriculture staff to maintain continuous contact with farmers whose documents are still pending.
To accelerate the campaign, all Sub-Divisional Magistrates (SDMs) have been instructed to organize open public meetings and special registration camps in the presence of revenue officials, including lekhpals. The district administration hopes these camps will help resolve documentation issues quickly and ensure that eligible beneficiaries are not left out of government welfare schemes.
The Farmer Registry has become an important component of the government’s agricultural database and is increasingly linked with the delivery of farmer-centric benefits. Officials have advised all eligible farmers to verify their land records, resolve documentation issues at the earliest and complete the registration process to avoid disruption in future benefits under various agricultural schemes.
