How many Farmer IDs have been created under the Digital Agriculture Mission, as announced in October 2026?
- A.7 crore
- B.9 crore
- C.11 crore
- D.14 crore
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 11 crore. The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare announced that the creation of 11 crore Farmer IDs, each a unique digital identity for a cultivator, had been completed by the night of 23 October, five months before the deadline of 31 March 2027. Option A, 7 crore, is wrong because it understates the achievement; the only other farmer figure in the announcement is the more than 6 crore farmers who have already drawn direct scheme benefits through the identity-based delivery system, which is a count of beneficiaries and not of identities issued. Option B, 9 crore, is wrong for the same reason and matches no figure in the announcement at all. Option D, 14 crore, is wrong because it overstates the count; no such number was reported, and the registry target itself was fixed at 11 crore. Candidates should link the figure of 11 crore to the Digital Agriculture Mission and to the minister who announced it, Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
