Agriculture Minister Dattatray Bharne finds the response to a new certificate encouraging. This certificate is meant for women who farm, giving them formal acknowledgment. As of a recent date, many applications have been received.

The total number of applications is substantial, with over 37 lakh received. These women are seeking recognition as independent farmers, which would allow them to access various government schemes.

Some certificates have already been issued, with more expected to follow. Further information about this initiative is available from the relevant department.
