Tirupati:The list of cultivators, who booked their crop details under e-Crop in Kharif-2022 will be displayed at Rythu Bharosa Kendras (RBKs) from October 28 to 31. The state government took up the e-crop registration, e-KYC Kharif-2022 programme for the welfare of farmers.

Accordingly, 60,749 farmers have registered their 1,51,398 acres under e-crop in Tirupati district and these details will be displayed at respective RBKs for four days. There are 445 RBKs and 315 custom hiring centres in the district. If farmers find any discrepancy in their crop records, they can bring it to the notice of officials, who will check the details and correct them to make the final list ready at RBKs by November 2.
The government is making available DAP and complex fertilisers needed for the farmers at all RBKs.
