Digital Identity Revolution for Bihar Farmers Begins in Arwal—4,474 to Get Smart IDs!
Arwal Farmers Step Into the Digital Age—Smart IDs Now a Reality!
In a bold leap toward agricultural empowerment, Arwal district in Bihar has launched a transformative initiative that will redefine the way farmers connect with government schemes. Through a unique pilot project, 4,474 farmers are now set to receive their very own 11-digit digital identification cards—a step that brings precision, accessibility, and dignity to the forefront of rural India.
For far too long, many farmers in Bihar have struggled to access timely and direct support. This registry process—spearheaded by the Department of Agriculture—is here to change that. By creating individual digital identities, farmers will now receive benefits without the usual delays or middlemen interference.
To make this vision a reality, farmer registration camps have been set up across 10 selected revenue villages. The response? Overwhelming participation, real-time digital processing, and a renewed sense of hope in the farming community.
Gone are the days of endless paperwork. Farmers now go through face recognition technology and e-KYC verification to confirm their identities. It’s fast, secure, and eliminates duplication or fraud.
What’s more, Agricultural Coordinators and Revenue Officers have joined hands for this mission. While coordinators handle the e-KYC, revenue officers take care of land verification—also known as “bucketing”—to make sure everything is accurate down to the last detail.
Let’s take a quick look at the impressive outreach:
Kochahsa: 877 farmers
Aiyara: 741 farmers
Kaler: 347 farmers
Kamta: 351 farmers
Khataangi: 288 farmers
Dhamoul: 389 farmers
Mali: 686 farmers
Barah: 261 farmers
Sakri: 264 farmers
Khabaini: 276 farmers
Each of these individuals will soon carry a verified identity that connects them to government benefits instantly.
“We’ve issued strict instructions to all senior officers to actively monitor this program,” shared Manish Kumar, the Sub-Divisional Agriculture Officer (अनुमंडल कृषि पदाधिकारी). He further emphasized that no negligence will be tolerated and technical support must be available wherever required.
The process has two stages, and presence in both is mandatory for every farmer. Local advisors are being tasked with ensuring farmers attend the camp without fail. The entire campaign is under district-level surveillance to ensure complete transparency.
Empowers farmers with verified digital identities

This pilot project in Arwal is just the beginning. With success here, more districts in Bihar may soon follow the model. It’s not just about data; it’s about dignity, empowerment, and future-readiness.
