KEY POINTS
· India Digital Ecosystem for Agriculture will incorporate a National Farmers Database, a sort of ‘super Aadhaar’ for farmers which will enable anyone with access to the database to uniquely identify a landholder.
· By cross-linking with Aadhaar and linking it with the land records database, a unique FID, or a farmers’ ID, is sought to be created.
· With the FID, a user can get one-click access to virtually the entire universe of a farmer’s activities.
· From PMKISAN direct benefit transfers, to soil health cards, extension services such as plant and crop health information with the FID database powering it all.
· The ‘agristack’, the government is hoping, will help eventually achieve the goal of doubling farmers’ income, if not by 2022, which looks totally unachievable at the moment, but at least around the next big election.
· Then there are women farmers. According to a recent survey by Oxfam, as much as three quarters of the full-time labour on a farm are women.
· A substantial portion of small landholdings and tenant farms are also managed by women but almost everywhere in India, land titles continue to be held by men.
· There is also the big concern over data privacy. Giving away this kind of sensitive, financial and landholding information in the absence of a data privacy law raises multiple concerns over potential misuse.
