SRINAGAR: Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo on Friday reviewed the progress of land-record digitisation and AgriStack implementation across Jammu and Kashmir, directing district administrations to speed up Farmer ID registration, ULPIN generation and integration of digital cadastral maps.
During a comprehensive review meeting, Dulloo assessed district-wise progress on Farmer IDs, Unique Land Parcel Identification Numbers (ULPINs), digitisation of cadastral maps through BhuNaksha and the proposed integration of digitised land records with the RBI’s Unified Lending Interface (ULI).
He directed Deputy Commissioners to ensure that no eligible farmer is left out of AgriStack or Farmer ID registration and asked them to submit verified certificates confirming complete coverage. Responsibility is also to be fixed for undue delays, with regular field inspections and weekly progress reports ordered to monitor both progress and quality.
ACS Finance Shailendra Kumar stressed that priority should be given to farmers available in villages, while exceptional cases involving absentees could be addressed subsequently. He also called for clear operational guidelines so that procedural issues do not delay implementation.
Secretary Revenue Kumar Rajeev Ranjan informed the meeting that J&K has achieved 100 per cent digitisation of foundational land administrative units across all 20 districts, 207 tehsils and 6,818 villages. A total of 68,62,596 Khasras have been digitised, while a backlog of 6,47,274 mutations has been incorporated, leaving no pending mutation backlog.
The Revenue Department has received 14,48,748 grievances, including 14,38,571 non-quasi-judicial cases. Of these, 14,27,576 non-quasi-judicial grievances have been resolved.
Under AgriStack, against a base of 71,04,737 Khasras, data entry has been completed for 65,77,944 Khasras, of which 58,17,502 have been verified and 57,30,681 approved—representing 80.7 per cent of the total base.
In Jammu division, 2,770 of 3,750 villages have been fully approved, with an overall Khasra approval rate of 80.8 per cent. In Kashmir division, 1,945 of 3,068 villages have been fully approved, with an approval rate of 80.5 per cent.
So far, 1,21,472 Farmer IDs have been generated across 1,663 villages. Kashmir accounts for 70,979 Farmer IDs across 836 villages, while Jammu has generated 52,751 Farmer IDs across 827 villages.
The Digital Crop Survey for Kharif 2026 is underway in 5,714 villages covering around 30.61 lakh agricultural plots. Survey work has been completed for 30,61,696 plots, representing 96.55 per cent progress, while supervisors have approved 27,27,189 plots.
ULPIN generation has also gained momentum. As of September 25, ULPIN coverage had expanded to 5,275 villages, up from 4,078, while 33,47,011 ULPINs had been generated, an increase of 4,08,887 since the previous review.
The meeting also reviewed BhuNaksha implementation and integration of cadastral maps with digitised land records. Of 6,818 village maps, 6,468 have been handed over to BISAG-N and 6,049 received back. Geo-referencing of 425 maps remains pending, while attribute tables for 5,754 maps have been completed.
The proposed integration of J&K’s digitised land records with the RBI’s Unified Lending Interface through specialised APIs was also discussed. The system is intended to facilitate secure access to land and farm-related information for agricultural lending, including landowner and parcel details, farm parameters, mortgage information and crop data.
Dulloo directed all agencies to work against fixed timelines and clearly assigned responsibilities. Deputy Commissioners have been asked to complete locking of RoR/Jamabandi within one month of Farmer ID generation, complete Farmer ID generation in all bucketed villages and resolve unclaimed buckets and cross-district land parcels within two months.
The Chief Secretary stressed that digitisation should go beyond data generation and result in accurate, updated and field-validated land records, enabling faster citizen services, transparent land administration and easier access to institutional agricultural credit for farmers.
