Ministry of Agriculture Resumes Farmer Registration After Five-Month Hiatus

Kathmandu. The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development has resumed the registration of farmers after a five-month pause. The online system, designed to provide farmers with identification cards and access to various services and subsidies, had been non-operational since Kartik 25 due to technical issues.

Ministry Information Officer Mahananda Joshi stated that the program, which aims to provide chemical fertilizers, seeds, subsidies, and service management to registered farmers, has proven effective. Consequently, the ministry has begun re-registering to include 1.737 million farmers. Preparations are underway to include the remaining farmers in the system soon.
