Palghar, Maharashtra saw a district-level review meeting on Tuesday for the Punyashlok Ahilyadevi Holkar Shetkari Karjmukti Yojana 2026. District Collector Dr. Indu Rani Jakhar presided over the meeting, which aimed to assess the scheme's progress and ensure eligible farmers receive the debt waiver benefits. Officials from the district included Kishan Ratnale, Vishal Wagh, and Rajendra Bhere, among others.
A total of 10,484 farmers were initially identified as eligible, with 8,313 farmers having completed the Aadhaar authentication process. Under the scheme, 5,169 farmers received ₹29.20 crore on August 7, while another 2,695 farmers received ₹14.81 crore on August 24. This results in a total of 7,702 farmers receiving debt waiver benefits amounting to ₹43.36 crore.
However, 2,148 farmers have yet to complete Aadhaar authentication, preventing them from receiving the benefits. Of these, 1,965 farmers do not currently have a Farmer ID, which is necessary to complete the process. Forest rights title holders and deceased farmers also require assistance in completing the necessary steps. The administration has urged eligible farmers to complete AgriStack/Farmer ID registration and Aadhaar authentication to claim their debt waiver benefits promptly.
